Deleting Production in a Few Easy Steps (and How to Fix It)

It’s the type of nightmare that leaves developers in a cold sweat. Imagine waking up to a message from your team that simply says, “We lost a cluster,” but it’s not a dream at all. InfluxDB Cloud runs on Kubernetes, a cloud application orchestration platform. We use an automated Continuous Delivery (CD) system to deploy code and configuration changes to production.

Know Instantly When Kubernetes Violations Occur - Your First PagerDuty and Shipa Alert

Imagine having the ability to instantly know when a Kubernetes compliance or security violation occurs. Now you can with Shipa Insights. Coupling Shipa Insights with the robust notification and alerting capabilities of PagerDuty makes this very possible. Shipa has the capability of sending fine-grained events externally e.g to PagerDuty. Now with the power of Shipa Insights, you have the capabilities to alert on policy violations. Let’s take a look at gettings started.

Automating deployment of a Dockerized Python app to Docker Hub

CI/CD systems follow a multi-tiered environments pattern: development, testing, staging, and production release are all part of this process. Each setting in this cycle could have a variety of set ups and configurations. As a result, having to set up separate configurations for different environments could be inconvenient and burdensome. In this tutorial, we will take a look at what Docker is and how it has freed developers from set-up problems and port clashes.
