When designing a solution, you should keep future needs in mind. If the number of users increases dramatically in a short period of time, the solution should be scalable enough to handle the new growth. Making systems scalable on cloud is relatively easier as compared to scaling on-premises infrastructure. AWS has provided excellent tools/services to enable your applications for as much scalability as you want.

Read a blow-by-blow analysis of two of the heavyweights in world of DevOps: when should you bet on Terraform, and what calls for Kubernetes?

Let’s face it. Gaining a competitive advantage in the target market is expensive. Even if you have a good idea and its execution plan in mind, operations related to management, storage, networking, service provisioning, security, and application management will cost you a fortune. To say the least, a cutting-edge IT infrastructure, a reliable team, and a strategy for rapid product releases or expansion/scaling is a must for your product’s success.

Over the last decade, containers have become an essential part of running infrastructure more efficiently. Containers enable productivity, automation, and cost-effective deployments. But there are different types of containers to consider, and this blog explains what Linux containers are, and how they differ from application containers.

With our latest releases of Epinio, we’ve focused on making both the setup and developer experience much more streamlined. We’ve looked at where users are having issues and removed many of the roadblocks. This reduced footprint also allows for more customizability and easier long-term maintenance. If you are not familiar with Epinio, it is an application development engine for Kubernetes that lets you go from code to URL in a single step.

Do you need to manage hundreds of Kubernetes clusters, or are you just curious to know why you could potentially need more than two clusters, or do you want to see the magic behind it? You are in the right place because you’re about to learn everything there is to know about it.

Continuous Integration(CI) is a software development practice where developers frequently merge the code and the changes in a central repository. The important goals of continuous integration is to find and resolve the bugs more quicker, improve the software quality, and reduce the time taken to validate and release new software updates. Continuous Delivery(CD), which is done on the top of Continuous Integration and includes the practice of automating the entire software release process and builds.

Kubernetes has become the most widely adopted and popular container orchestrator and, with the help of CNCF and the surrounding community, its reach is increasing every day. The orchestrator currently boasts 140k+ members on its Slack and continues to grow in popularity.

Kubernetes provides a set of primitives to run resilient, distributed applications. It takes care of scaling and automatic failover for your application and it provides deployment patterns and APIs that allow you to automate resource management and provision new workloads.
