5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology which is transforming the way we connect and communicate. With data transfer speeds up to 100 times faster than 4G, 5G technology enables faster download and upload times, lower latency and a higher number of connected devices. Additionally, 5G networks will support a wider range of frequencies, including high and low bands, which will ensure wider coverage and greater reliability.

With the current financial climate, cost reduction is top of mind for everyone. IT is one of the biggest cost centers in organizations, and understanding what drives those costs is critical. Many simply don’t understand the cost of their Kubernetes workloads, or even have observability into basic units of cost. This is where FinOps comes into play, and organizations are beginning to implement those best practice standards to understand their cost.

Prometheus is one the the most acclaimed solutions for Kubernetes monitoring. There are multiple add-ons and exporters that facilitate the task of pulling Kubernetes metrics. Sysdig Monitor is a cloud-native observability platform that helps businesses with the whole observability lifecycle. It provides simplicity at all times, allowing companies to rapidly pull their Kubernetes and Prometheus metrics without headaches.

What’s New in Sysdig is back again with the February 2023 edition! I am Michael Rudloff, an Enterprise Sales Engineer based in the United Kingdom, and I am very excited to update you with the latest feature releases from Sysdig. This month, Sysdig Secure brings a couple of new features. We have added reports to Risk Spotlight – Risk Spotlight can show you which packages with vulnerabilities are currently in use in a running container across your whole Kubernetes environment.

Kubernetes Secrets are a built-in resource type that's used to store sensitive data. This blog teaches you how to work with Secrets in Kubernetes. Kubernetes can do many things, but we usually refer to it as a “container orchestrator.” Orchestrating containers means starting and restarting them when needed, ensuring their configuration matches the declared state, and autoscaling them. But Kubernetes can do much more than that.

D2iQ and Aerospike have partnered to help developers and data architects spend less time managing and maintaining their infrastructure and more time delivering mission-critical applications that provide business value at scale. The Aerospike Kubernetes Operator has been certified on the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) to enable organizations to efficiently deploy and operate Aerospike clusters. Aerospike is a high-performance NoSQL database that enables high-speed data processing at scale.

Managing a Kubernetes cluster requires a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of its complex structure. To ensure smooth operation of your applications and optimal performance, it is vital to monitor a wide range of metrics across the different components of your cluster. In this article, we will discuss key metrics that can be used to monitor both self-managed and cloud-managed Kubernetes environments, helping you to keep your cluster running at its best.
