Kubernetes is the most widely used container orchestration platform, and you will see many tech giants using Kubernetes in their solutions. Its built-in scalability, flexibility, and container orchestration capabilities make it an ideal choice for enterprise applications requiring high availability and robustness. When deciding which Kubernetes solution to select, we come across many options, including Rancher, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), self-hosted Kubernetes, Kops, Kubeadm, and Qovery.

AWS Fargate is a powerful tool for running containerized workloads on AWS. It’s a serverless compute engine that allows you to run containers and focus on developing and deploying your applications while AWS controls the cloud infrastructure. This can make a real difference for an organization, saving both time and resources that would otherwise go towards managing servers. This guide will discuss AWS Fargate pricing and provide tips for cost optimization.

This Kubernetes Architecture series covers the main components used in Kubernetes and provides an introduction to Kubernetes architecture. After reading these blogs, you’ll have a much deeper understanding of the main reasons for choosing Kubernetes as well as the main components that are involved when you start running applications on Kubernetes. This blog series covers the following topics.

Kubernetes is a popular open-source container orchestration platform. It is highly configurable and feature-rich, but it also requires a deep understanding of containerization. When you are running Kubernetes in production, you need to account for cluster monitoring and logging, governance, and security. In this article, you will learn about Kubernetes security, including pro tips to help you handle architecture concerns, dependencies, and container vulnerabilities.

In a recent meetup I hosted alongside Kunal Kushwaha, we discussed Cilium, an eBPF-powered open-source cloud-native networking solution that offers security, observability, scalability, and superior performance. Throughout this blog I will explore how the increased usage of Kubernetes has led to the need for advanced networking, security, and observability solutions. This will allow us to take a closer look at how Cilium can benefit Kubernetes users.
