Real-time impact tracking and notifications
Your team is practicing DevOps and you’re delivering some flavor of Continuous Delivery. You’re deploying anywhere from three times a week to twenty times a day. You are moving fast! At that speed, how do you know if you are moving things in the right direction? Hopefully, your team has defined some key SLIs that define your application’s health.
The Best Way to Make Your Application Faster
There are two easy ways to make your cloud application faster and they’re homonyms; cash being the first and cache being the second. (Sorry, but not sorry, for the dad joke). The cloud makes it very easy to increase the amount of compute power and therefore performance associated of your cloud resources.
Live or Die by 2022: DevOps in the Digital-First Economy
For companies to survive until 2022, they’ll need to focus on two things: Binaries and Edges. We’ve just wrapped up swampUP 2020, where we showcased this bold idea. We heard from you firsthand how DevOps Fast Forward is a must, and how software must be able to be distributed anywhere to enable the continuity of any business. Your experience confirmed how the global crisis has accelerated the digital transformation in your companies.
Introducing Conductor
It comes as no surprise that the demand for Kubernetes is skyrocketing across the industry. According to the CNCF’s 2019 survey, 78% of respondents are using Kubernetes in production today. This growth is contributing to a surge of demand for talent: there are over 100 thousand cloud native job postings across Dice and Indeed alone. The talent pool of people that have worked with Kubernetes and the adjacent technologies is limited and demand is growing.
HashiConf Digital Wrapup, June 2020
The first HashiConf Digital event was held on June 22-24, online. The event was meant to be HashiConf Amsterdam, but the team pivoted and moved it online because of COVID-19. My employer FireHydrant was a sponsor, and I was happy to have a chance to attend. The event was very well organized, and that’s even more impressive given that the team had to shift it online.
DevOps Toolchain Explained: What Is & How to Create One. Choosing Between Buying or Building Your Own Tools
Over the past few years, we’ve seen an almost obsession with developing and adopting CI/CD tools throughout the DevOps community. There are thousands of “how-to’s”, “top x tools”, and “tool x vs tool y” type articles, and it has gotten to the point where it’s quite difficult to figure out how and which one to pick as your own.
What is Infrastructure Monitoring?
IT is advancing blazingly fast. To keep up with architectural changes and hybrid environments, it’s more important than ever to maintain efficient infrastructure monitoring and troubleshooting. Adding to the complexity is the increase of distributed systems, comprised of many components and services.
The Fastest at the Edge
When you think of Kubernetes, you probably don't think "fast," but that's what K3s has at its core. Designed for resource-constrained environments like IoT and the Edge, K3s is lightning fast, robust, and powerful, and it includes innovative new features like its Helm controller. In this short video, Adrian Goins talks about K3s, MetalLB, Nginx, Traefik, and Helm while doing an install of a K3s system with MetalLB, Nginx, and Mosquitto in only a few minutes.
Deploy HAProxy Ingress Controller from Rancher's Apps Catalog
In Kubernetes, Ingress objects define rules for how to route a client’s request to a specific service running inside your cluster. These rules can take into account the unique aspects of an incoming HTTP message, including its Host header and the URL path, allowing you to send traffic to one service or another using data discovered in the request itself. That means you can use Ingress objects to define routing for many different applications.
