Realistic Strategies for FinOps Driven K8s Optimization

Reduce node counts to drive down infrastructure costs (on-prem and in the cloud). Get an overview of common issues that drive excess cost and understanding the 3 core strategies for tackling them. Done right, you can reduce node counts, which in turn impacts infrastructure cost and potentially reduces expensive software licenses such as OpenShift. In this 20-min session we cover the 3 core strategies.

Strategies for Efficient Log Management in Large-Scale Kubernetes Clusters

Aliaksandr Valialkin, #VictoriaMetrics CTO present "Strategies for Efficient hashtag#LogManagement in Large-Scale hashtag#Kubernetes Clusters" at hashtag#FrOSCon. Large #Kubernetes clusters can generate significant volumes of logs, especially when housing thousands of running pods. This may demand substantial CPU, RAM, disk IO, and disk space for storing and querying large log volumes. In this talk, we will look into different strategies of storing those logs in #ElasticSearch, Grafana Loki and #VictoriaLogs and examine how we can save 10x or more on infrastructure costs.

Tips for Monitoring Kubernetes Applications

Monitoring is the most important aspect of infrastructure operations. Effective monitoring strategies help optimize infrastructure usage, improve planning, and resolve incidents quickly. While monitoring preceded DevOps, DevOps has further transformed the software development process to the extent that monitoring also has to evolve.

Monitoring Kubernetes with Hosted Graphite by MetricFire

In this article, we will be looking into Kubernetes monitoring with Graphite and Grafana. Specifically, we will look at how your whole Kubernetes set-up can be centrally monitored through Hosted Graphite and Hosted Grafana dashboards. This will allow Kubernetes Administrators to centrally manage all of their Kubernetes clusters without setting up any additional infrastructure for monitoring.

Python API with Kubernetes and Docker - Part I

Docker is one of the most popular containerization technologies. It is a simple-to-use, developer-friendly tool and has advantages over other similar technologies that make using it smooth and easy. Since its first open-source release in March 2013, Docker has gained attention from developers and ops engineers. According to Docker Inc., Docker users have downloaded over 105 billion containers and 'dockerized' 5.8 million containers on Docker Hub. The project has over 32K stars on GitHub.
