Pods are ephemeral. And they are meant to be. They can be seamlessly destroyed and replaced if using a Deployment. Or they can be scaled at some point when using Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA). This means we can’t rely on the Pod IP address to connect with applications running in our containers internally or externally, as the Pod might not be there in the future.

Many companies are rapidly adopting cloud-native computing services, like containers, microservices, and serverless computing. Unlike monolithic applications, these technologies rely on distributed architectures. Whether you are running them in the cloud, on-premises, or both, distributed systems consist of thousands or millions of processes and components. The challenge now is to make these complex systems' inner workings visible, controllable, and improvable.

Want to try out Mattermost, but don’t have sufficient infrastructure or the time? Here is a guide on how to deploy Mattermost using minikube in five minutes.

Join Mark Boost, Dinesh Majrekar, and Saiyam Pathak to discuss the current state of the cloud industry and why costs are so high, how to take steps to reduce your spend, and looking at how Civo can help.

CI/CD is the process that ensures that code updates are deployed efficiently and reliably. However, more than simply having CI/CD pipelines is required for modern business application development needs. The problems start as soon as your team grows, but your CI/CD process does not. Static CI/CD pipelines result in an operational bottleneck and slow down your application workflow. Today, we will discuss why scaling your CI/CD is an inevitable need for your organization.

We recently held a webinar, “Find Value at the Edge: Innovation Opportunities and Use Cases,” where Forrester Principal Analyst Michele Pelino was our guest speaker. After the event, we held a Q&A with Pelino highlighting edge infrastructure solutions and benefits. Here’s a look into the interview.

If you're involved in deploying and managing applications and servers, you know that it is a complex and resource-intensive process. Container orchestration platforms help automate the deployment, scaling, and management of your applications, but the challenges don’t stop there. Everything from the way applications communicate, down to the underlying infrastructure they run on, exposes vulnerabilities, complexities, and builds up technical debt.

After 33k commits, nearly 200k contributions, 9.6k contributors, and almost 15k pull requests, the Argo Project has officially graduated within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). The Argo Project was first created and open-sourced in 2017 by Applatix who was later acquired by Intuit. Shortly thereafter, BlackRock, Codefresh, and RedHat joined the project as it moved into the CNCF.

Today we’re pleased to announce the availability of Kubewarden 1.4.0. Kubewarden is an open source security policy engine. This 1.4.0 version brings some minor fixes to our controller and helm charts and two new interesting features.

The Gartner report on How to Run Containers and Kubernetes in Production describes the barriers that are preventing organizations from successfully deploying and managing Kubernetes environments.
