Monitor the past, present, and future of your Kubernetes resource utilization

Greetings, Kubernetes Time Lords! Through a series of recent updates to our multi-purpose Kubernetes Monitoring solution in Grafana Cloud, we’ve made it easier than ever to assess your resource utilization, whether you’re looking at yesterday, today, or tomorrow. All companies that use Kubernetes, regardless of size, should monitor their available resource utilization.

Your Guide to Kubernetes Air-Gapping Success

Military and intelligence agencies, hospitals and corporations all deploy air-gapped environments to protect their sensitive information from breaches and theft. An air-gapped environment aims to isolate and limit access to classified and sensitive data. An air-gapped environment can be as simple as five PCs in a room connected only to one another, whereas air-gapped environments like the U.S.

Guy Menahem, our resident Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Ambassador, showcases Komodor's brand new dashboard for developers! The dashboard takes an app-centric approach, which provides devs with a single, unified view of their workloads even if they're running on multiple clusters or clouds. It reduces noise for devs, and allows them to focus on the metrics and KPIs that matter to them, which enables devs to finally own their apps end-to-end and stop relying on DevOps and Platform teams.

Merging to Main #4: Feature Flags

Feature Flagging comes with many benefits, like testing new features in a live environment without exposing them to all users, rolling back changes quickly if something goes wrong, and helping isolate the feature development process from deployment so you can better manage your dev cycles. Like everything in the CI/CD world, all features and tools require careful consideration. You want to avoid creating additional tech debt and complicating your codebase, and you certainly want to avoid introducing unnecessary work to a likely already overworked team.

DevOps and Kubernetes: We've Been Doing It Wrong

Platform engineering as a replacement for DevOps has become a hot topic, with provocative critics stoking the controversy by pronouncing DevOps dead. The underlying reason for these pronouncements is that the once-radical DevOps model is at odds with the new cloud-native container management model to which the now-obsolete DevOps model is being applied. Let’s take a closer look.
