Troubleshooting issues in Kubernetes can be tough. When diagnosing these problems, you can find yourself with tons of microservices to review. Sometimes you come across the root cause straight away, but when dealing with complex issues you may lose a lot of time going back and forth, and time is a precious asset when everything goes up in flames. Sysdig Agent leverages eBPF for granular telemetry.

The companies we at VMware Tanzu work with are constantly looking for new, better ways of developing and releasing quality software faster. But digital transformation means fundamentally changing the way you do business, a process that can be derailed by any number of obstacles. In his recent video series, Coté identifies 14 reasons why it’s hard to change development practices in large organizations, such as security and compliance.

With the growing popularity of Kubernetes, the need for effective monitoring solutions has become crucial. LogicMonitor, a leading cloud-based monitoring and observability platform, has rolled out a new set of DataSources in its Kubernetes monitoring solution, LM Container, that uses data from the kube-state-metrics service to provide enhanced visibility into the state of Kubernetes objects.

Software developers need controlled and isolated environments to try new features, bug fixes, and other changes before deploying them to production. This separation captures possible issues early, reducing the risk of live environment errors or performance issues. Teams can experiment with various configurations, tools, and technologies in test environments, fostering innovation and development.

Redis is a powerful in-memory data store thats blazing fast. It's performant, scalable, supports a wide range of data structures, has built in caching mechanisms, and is simple to set up for Cycle users. This post will take you from deploying your first Redis instance on Cycle, through deploying highly available, stateful Redis instances that are monitored by Redis Sentinel. The companion repo for this article with configuration files and settings can be found here.

The first quarter of the year is ending, and even though we have plenty of news in stock for the next one, it’s now time to go through our quarter retrospective. In case you missed anything, here are the most important releases of Q1!

As an operations engineer (SRE, IT Operations, DevOps), managing technology and data sprawl is an ongoing challenge. Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects are helping minimize sprawl and standardize technology and data, from Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Istio, and more. Kubernetes and OpenTelemetry are becoming the de facto standard for deploying and monitoring a cloud native application.

Calico is a versatile networking and security solution that features a plugable dataplane architecture. It supports various technologies, including Iptables, eBPF, Host Network Service (HNS for Windows), and Vector Packet Processing (VPP) for containers, virtual machines, and bare-metal workloads. Users can employ Calico’s network security policies to restrict traffic to and from specific clusters handling customer data and to quickly block malicious IP addresses during external attacks.

The annual Cloud Native Foundation (CNCF) surveys have shown Kubernetes adoption and maturity advancing rapidly, The previous CNCF Annual Survey showed that Kubernetes had crossed the chasm to become mainstream.

Everyone knows that MicroK8s is an extremely lightweight, extensible, reliable, CNCF-compliant distribution of Kubernetes. What you didn’t know until now is that it is even easier to install and manage as part of your AWS marketplace experience. First, a quick reminder of why MicroK8s is great: What is new is that MicroK8s is now available on the AWS marketplace, combining all of MicroK8s advantages with the convenience of AWS.
