Power Up Artifactory With Kustomize & Helm

Helm is the most popular templating tool for Kubernetes YAML files. Recently a new YAML overlay tool, Kustomize, has also started to become popular. In this webinar, we will discuss both these tools and when each one should be used. We will also discuss how we can combine Helm templating with Kustomize overlays to get the best of both worlds. This process enables customers to modify any Helm charts maintained by JFrog (or any other vendor), without breaking upstream compatibility. Customers can use this to continuously uptake new releases and automate their CI/CD processes.

Introduction to instrumenting applications with Prometheus

As a developer, getting metrics from your application onto a Prometheus graph can seem daunting. We’ll look at analyzing your service to find the most useful places to add metrics, how to add that instrumentation, getting it exposed and scraped, and then basic queries to use those metrics on graphs. Check out another article of mine for general reference on instrumenting, this one on Prometheus metrics, or this comparison on instrumentation alternatives.

Announcing the Tigera - Nutanix Partnership

Today we are pleased to announce our partnership with Nutanix, creators of the industry’s most popular hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) technology. HCI combines datacenter hardware using locally-attached storage resources with intelligent software to create flexible building blocks that replace legacy infrastructure consisting of separate servers, storage networks, and storage arrays.

Containers, Microservices, and Kubernetes

Faster application development requires more agile application infrastructure. Containers started the transformation of modern application architectures which now are dominated by microservices running on Kubernetes. In this episode of Dissecting DevOps find out how cloud infrastructure has changed, how the modern architectures make application development easier, and the unique challenges introduced by microservices and Kubernetes.
