The cloud is an essential part of modern business, enabling companies to take advantage of flexible, scalable, and cost-effective computing resources. As a leader in your organization, you may have recognized the need to migrate to Amazon Web Services (AWS), the most popular cloud platform, to gain myriad competitive advantages. However, transitioning to the cloud can be a daunting task, and it’s crucial to approach it with the right strategy and knowledge.

When planning public cloud environments, two commonly used words are “progress” and “results.” While positive results may be achieved at the end of a well-organized, meticulously planned journey, the first few crucial steps set your orientation on the journey. Let’s take a closer look at these steps, using a Microsoft Azure virtual machine (VM) environment as an example.

Stor.ai is a retail market ecommerce solutions provider. Its state-of-the art white label retail platform allows clients to quickly and easily connect to inventory, position their brands to develop customer loyalty, and boost average order value. Running a large cloud-based operation requires a well-provisioned cloud platform capable of managing the load and delivering peak performance.

This blog will discuss federated Kubernetes installations. Why and when we should use them and provide a working example of such a setup on AWS’s EKS. This blog post includes working code examples. As engineers with a never ending task list – which only grows as we strive for the next best thing we can add to our system – context is vital.

As the world transitions to cloud-native offerings as an industry norm, DevOps is gaining traction for its critical role supporting more efficient IT infrastructure. DevOps is designed to boost collaboration and communication by streamlining the automation process to expedite the creation and deployment of applications. Implementing cloud-native DevOps requires organizations make a massive cultural shift.

This blog will discuss running serverless containers in AWS EKS with Fargate. Why and how we can use this configuration and provides a working example of how to use AWS EKS with Fargate. Recently, a customer reached out with an interesting request. They wanted us to run containers in serverless mode with AWS EKS. Their intention was to use Kubernetes features and run containers in serverless mode. Side note: in EKS you should manage NodeGroups and pay for it.

In part two, I will cover: Microservices Architecture Overview: New Challenges for Monolithic Architecture As an application grows, so does the amount of code written. This can quickly overwhelm the development environment every time it needs to be opened and run. As you must deploy everything in one place, this approach means that the transition to another programming language, or other technologies becomes a big problem.

Continuous integration (CI) / continuous delivery (CD) is a model that allows software development teams to automate the integration and delivery of code changes in a more frequent and reliable manner. This gives development teams more time to improve the quality of their code, test with greater depth, and leads to more customer deployments overall.
