June 7, 2023 It’s no secret that Kubernetes is one of the fastest-growing technologies in use today for deploying and operating applications of all types in the cloud. It’s also no secret that Kubernetes’ popularity is a significant contributor to fast-growing cloud bills. FinOps teams are constantly looking for ways to lower their cloud spend, in cooperation with the DevOps, Engineering and App owner teams that control this infrastructure.
In Kubernetes, the Domain Name System (DNS) plays a crucial role in enabling service discovery for pods to locate and communicate with other services within the cluster. This function is essential for managing the dynamic nature of Kubernetes environments and ensuring that applications can operate seamlessly. For organizations migrating their workloads to Kubernetes, it’s also important to establish connectivity with services outside the cluster.
As we continue to see rapid technological advancements, organizations must evolve and adapt to maintain a competitive edge. The principles of DevOps - collaboration, automation, continuous integration, and delivery - have emerged as critical success factors in this landscape, enabling organizations to navigate the ever-changing environment.
18 million — that’s the number of developers around the world who use Docker, the popular tool for containerization. Docker Desktop, a software application for Mac, Windows, and Linux, is one of the most widely used tools within the Docker ecosystem, especially among developers who want to build, test, and deploy applications in containers on their local machines.
Kubernetes has created a major impact on modern software development because it is a powerful open source container orchestration platform that enables organizations to deploy and manage complex containerized applications at scale. In this blog, we will cover how Rancher Desktop can help developers run and manage Kubernetes locally.
This Kubernetes Architecture series covers the main components used in Kubernetes and provides an introduction to Kubernetes architecture. After reading these blogs, you’ll have a much deeper understanding of the main reasons for choosing Kubernetes as well as the main components that are involved when you start running applications on Kubernetes. This blog series covers the following topics.
In the complex world of Kubernetes, logs serve as the backbone of effective monitoring, debugging, and issue diagnosis. They provide indispensable insights into the behavior and performance of individual components within a Kubernetes cluster, such as containers, nodes, and services.
In our recent webinar on air-gapped security, D2iQ VP of Product Dan Ciruli shared a new way of thinking about air-gapping, explaining how air-gapping could be applied in places that are not usually considered candidates for air-gapping. In an exchange of insights with Paul Nashawaty, principal analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, Ciruli explained how the need for air-gapped security has become more critical as more organizations move to the cloud.
