Intro to Rio Online Training: The MicroPaaS for Kubernetes

We recently launched Rio, a new open-source project. It is a MicroPaaS built on top of Kubernetes, Istio, Knative, and Prometheus. You can use it to build, test, deploy, scale, and version stateless apps on any standard Kubernetes cluster, which means that you can run your apps the way you want to without having to spend time wiring them together. Join this session to see a live demo of the product features and capabilities.

In this blog post, we will go over how Blue Matador monitors Classic Elastic Load Balancers automatically and without configuration.

Code Commits: only half the story

It’s not the first time I’ve been asked by a sales rep the following question: “The customer has looked at Stackalytics and is wondering why Rancher doesn’t have as many code commits as the competition.
