Best Practices Guide for Kubernetes Labels and Annotations

Oct 9, 2021 By Aviad Shikloshi In Komodor

Kubernetes is the de facto container-management technology in the cloud world due to its scalability and reliability. It also provides a very flexible and developer-friendly API, which is the foundation of its control plane. The effectiveness of the Kubernetes API comes from how it manages the Kubernetes resources via metadata: labels and annotations. Metadata is essential for grouping resources, redirecting requests and managing deployments.

Self Healing Kubernetes at the edge

Oct 8, 2021 By Canonical In Canonical

As developers and businesses are shifting their attention to the edge, everyone wants to build their own edge clusters and manage them. However, building a highly available edge cluster is not easy. Kubernetes simplifies container deployments by abstracting the resource management details from the users, allowing them to deploy using standard CLI or templates.

Kubernetes pods are the smallest deployable units in the Kubernetes platform. Each pod signals a single running process within the system and functions from a node or worker machine within Kubernetes, which may take on a virtual or physical form. Occasionally, Kubernetes pod disruptions may occur within a system, either from voluntary or involuntary causes.

Mapping FluxCD Applications

Oct 8, 2021 By admin In Shipa

Flux is a CNCF based open source stack of tools. Flux focuses on making it possible to keep Kubernetes clusters and cloud-native applications in sync with external resources and definitions hosted in environments such as GitHub. Implementing tools like FluxCD should enable you to achieve results such as: The results above can bring obvious benefits, and many teams are adopting FluxCD as their tool of choice for GitOps.

Provisioning bare metal Kubernetes clusters with Spectro Cloud and MAAS

Oct 8, 2021 By Anton Smith In Canonical

Bare metal Kubernetes (K8s) is now easier than ever. Spectro Cloud has recently posted an article about integrating Kubernetes with MAAS (Metal-as-a-Service. In the article, they describe how they have created a provider for the Kubernetes Cluster API for Canonical MAAS (Metal-as-a-Service). This blog describes briefly the benefits of bare metal K8s, the challenges it presents, and how the work by Saad Malik and the team from Spectro Cloud solves those challenges.

Getting Started With the InfluxDB Template for NGINX Ingress Controller

Oct 8, 2021 By Charles Mahler In InfluxData

Today, many of the internet’s busiest websites and applications rely on NGINX to run smoothly. And many of those websites and apps are run as cloud-native services in Kubernetes. In particular, the NGINX Ingress Controller is a best-in-class traffic management solution for cloud‑native apps in Kubernetes and containerized environments that uses NGINX as a reverse proxy, load balancer, API gateway, cache, or web application firewall.
