Common Problems with Container Platforms

Containers are nearly ubiquitous in software these days. Outside of abstractions like fully managed services (RDS, Dynamo, Cloud SQL), everything engineering teams are responsible for, mostly, land in containers. For many, deciding what platform to run those containers on is a burning question. Choosing the wrong container management solution can be a real headache.

4 Pillars of Successful DevOps Assessment

DevOps isn’t just a methodology; it’s a culture that fosters collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement within an organization. Conducting a successful DevOps assessment is crucial for understanding where your team stands in its DevOps journey and identifying areas for enhancement. To ensure a comprehensive evaluation, focus on these four pillars.

Kubernetes vs Docker. What you need to know

There are some discussions about what is better to choose Kubernetes or Docker, and it may be really challenging to get one specific reply. These are fundamentally different technologies and it is better to have an understating of their functioning and benefits prior to choosing something. The thing that doesn't need any additional explanation is that VPS is definitely important despite the technology you select. A virtual private server is used to get additional layers of isolation from other clients.

Why You Need Different Backup Solutions for VMs and Containers

Applications running in virtual machines (VMs) are mostly static and single tenant, relying on backup of the file system. Kubernetes is a multitenant environment with lots of metadata information (e.g., config maps, secrets, pods, etc.) and distributed applications. So, a Kubernetes data protection solution needs to understand Kubernetes patterns to deal with continuous changes inside a cluster, and a cloud native data protection solution should be application-centric and not infrastructure-centric.
