The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
This blog will cover what the Calico/VPP dataplane is and demonstrate the performance and flexibility advantages of using the VPP dataplane through a benchmarking setup. By the end of this blog post, you will have a clear understanding of how Calico/VPP dataplane, with the help of DPDK and accelerated memif interfaces, can provide high throughput and low-latency Kubernetes cluster networking for your environment.
Sysdig Monitor has long integrated with a variety of Notification Channels, allowing users to forward alerts to a multitude of third-party services. Currently, users can choose to forward Sysdig Monitor’s alerting events to external services like PagerDuty, Slack, Email, Microsoft Teams, and many more.
While more and more teams are adopting Kubernetes as their standard container orchestration technology, cost insight is lacking. Teams often don’t know how much they’re spending, where in their organization they are spending, or what is driving their infrastructure cost increases. OpenCost helps alleviate this problem by bringing real-time cost monitoring to Kubernetes workloads with a solution that encompasses both an open specification and an open source project.
Our latest open-source project, Helm-Dashboard, just crossed 3K stars on GitHub (and hundreds of daily active users), only three months since it was released! We thought this milestone was a good chance to take a look back at our journey, announce the release of v. 1.0.0, discuss future plans, and, most importantly, give our utmost thanks to the amazing contributors and Kommunity members that made it all possible! What capabilities would you like to see next in Helm-Dashbaord?
Kubernetes has firmly established itself as the leading choice for container orchestration thanks to its robust ecosystem and flexibility, allowing users to scale their workloads easily. However, the complexity of Kubernetes can make it challenging to set up and may pose a significant barrier for organizations looking to adopt cloud native technology and containers as part of their modernization efforts.
In this article, we will dive into Kubernetes network monitoring and metrics, examining these concepts in detail and exploring how metrics in an application can be transformed into tangible, human-readable reports. The article will also include a step-by-step tutorial on how to enable Calico’s integration with Prometheus, a free and open-source CNCF project created for monitoring the cloud.
We’re pleased to announce the availability of Kubewarden 1.5.0! This release brings the usual amount of small bug fixes, dependency updates, and a major security enhancement. Let’s take a closer look!
If you need to deploy a lot of microservices at once and manage them at scale, Kubernetes is hard to beat. But Kubernetes also brings additional complexity that you just might not need. You would be smart to ask yourself these three questions before getting started with Kubernetes.
