As a developer, it can become challenging to manage Kubernetes and develop applications simultaneously. That’s why we put together this guide to show you how the Kubernetes Dashboard can help developers overcome this problem and get an overview of the cluster and its workloads. From this, developers can focus more on application development while stressing less on cluster management.

Engineering teams’ autonomy and agility are vital in achieving efficient software development. However, manual infrastructure provisioning is a major source of inefficiency and bottleneck. As the developers wait for Ops teams to provision complex infrastructure, they cannot bring the creativity, speed, and agility expected of them. This is the reason successful companies are quickly adopting self-service infrastructure.

It’s been a while since I actually developed code … yes yes … you can laugh … a sales person that used to be a developer 😃, and A LOT changed since then.

The most common issues preventing a better return on cloud spending were insufficient skills of tech teams, additional security and compliance requirements, and a misalignment with expected outcomes, said Barry Brunsman, a principal in KPMG’s CIO Advisory group.

We are excited to announce that deploying Kubewarden in air gap environments has been simplified and documented! For that, you will need a private OCI registry accessible by your Kubernetes cluster. If you’re unfamiliar with Kubewarden, it’s a policy engine for Kubernetes. Its mission is to simplify the adoption of policy-as-code. Kubewarden policies are WebAssembly modules; therefore they can be stored inside an OCI-compliant registry as OCI artifacts.

Kubernetes is today the most well-known container scheduler used by thousands of companies. Being able to quickly and automatically scale your application is something standard nowadays. However, knowing how to do it well is another topic. In this article, we'll cover how pod autoscaling works, how it can be used, when it's exciting and not, and finally, we'll cover it with a Qovery usage we have internally.
