Baking a delicious pizza in a wood-fired oven requires a combination of skill, experience and the right tools. The same is true for achieving optimal observability in a Kubernetes environment. In this post, we'll explore some of the lessons learned from baking pizza in a wood-fired oven and apply them to the world of Kubernetes observability.

When people hear ‘containers,’ they don’t immediately think about an IT solution that helps businesses create and distribute applications seamlessly. However, the container concept has been around for a long time, helping companies in various industries globally. Containers continue to change the landscape of app development and deployment. This guide below will help you understand containerization and the best orchestration tools to manage containers.

Kubernetes, a graduated project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) ecosystem, is the most prominent and widely used container orchestration systems. It’s used to manage and deploy containers in a wide range of environments, from IoT devices based on Raspberry Pis to enterprise environments consisting of millions of services.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to build, deploy, and verify 2,000 applications every single day? In this blog post, we will delve into this specific challenge and take a look at how VMware’s Bitnami can dramatically boost productivity by using VMware Image Builder for automating content production. But let’s start from the beginning, and explore what it takes to build and ship software to users.

Kubernetes (K8s) adoption has exploded over the past few years. But it hasn't been easy to monitor, manage, and optimize K8s costs. To provide greater cost visibility into Kubernetes clusters and environments, Kubecost launched in 2019 while OpenCost debuted in 2022. OpenCost has several founding contributors. But it is Kubecost that developed the cost allocation engine that the OpenCost implementation uses. Kubecost also announced the launch of OpenCost on June 2, 2022.

Kubernetes has become the preferred tool for DevOps engineers to deploy and manage containerized applications on one or multiple servers. These compute nodes are also known as clusters, and their performance is crucial to the success of an application. If a Kubernetes cluster isn’t performing optimally, the application’s availability and performance will suffer, leading to unhappy users and even revenue loss.

When it comes to cloud infrastructure, there are countless options available. From the easy-to-use and scalable Heroku Enterprise to the powerful and versatile AWS, it can be difficult to know which platform is the best fit for your business. However, more and more companies are finding that Heroku Enterprise is not the best choice for their needs and are switching to AWS.

This blog post is a how-to guide for Kubernetes troubleshooting. Our vision is that any engineer can keep Kubernetes-based applications up and running smoothly, regardless of their level of Kubernetes expertise and their knowledge of the services in the environment. Right out of the box, StackState aims to monitor, alert and then guide an engineer directly to the problem, helping them remediate the issue quickly.

Iselin, New Jersey – 19th January 2023 – CloudHedge Technologies, an industry pioneer with its end-to-end Continuous Application Modernization platform, OmniDeq™, has been named Cool Vendor in Cloud-Native Computing by Gartner. The report acknowledges CloudHedge’s ability to securely deliver agile digital transformation and modernization journeys for large-scale enterprises, enhancing their efficiency.

Persistent storage is essential for any account-driven website. However, in Kubernetes, most resources are ephemeral and unsuitable for keeping data long-term. Regular storage is tied to the container and has a finite life span. Persistent storage has to be separately provisioned and managed. Making permanent storage work with temporary resources brings challenges that you need to solve if you want to get the most out of your Kubernetes deployments.
