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.

With the emergence of new programming languages, libraries, packaging systems, and dependencies, the open source landscape has become more diverse. At the same time, companies are finding it more and more complex to package and deliver open source software. This creates a massive challenge for independent software vendors (ISVs), large enterprises, and other organizations that need to control their software supply chain lifecycles while adhering to industry standards and best practices.

Modern Kubernetes environments are becoming increasingly complex. In 2021, Datadog analyzed real-world usage data from more than 1.5 billion containers and found that the average number of pods per organization had doubled over the course of two years. Organizations running containers also tend to deploy more monitors than companies that don’t leverage containers, pointing to the increased need for monitoring in these environments.

Organizations are becoming more aware of the advantages of upgrading their continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and moving them to the cloud, from lowering infrastructure costs to eliminating security threats. But carrying out a transfer is challenging, especially when a variety of platforms and technologies are involved.

After months in development, we are thrilled to announce the launch of Cycle.io's support for NVIDIA GPUs (Beta). Combined with an already powerful platform that enables developers to focus on building, rather than managing, the addition of GPUs will further empower the development of accelerated applications which require a higher level of compute power.

AWS did not intend to build Amazon EKS; it simply had to. Kubernetes adoption beamed light years ahead of AWS' own managed container orchestration service. This forced AWS to develop a managed service to accommodate customers who wanted to use upstream Kubernetes but did not want to do the management themselves. As soon as AWS got around to it, it knocked the Kubernetes-based container management service out of the park.

The Splunk Operator for Kubernetes team is extremely pleased to announce the release of version 2.0! This represents the culmination of many months of work by our team and continues to deliver on our commitment to provide a high-quality experience for our customers wishing to deploy Splunk on the Kubernetes platform.

On May 26, 2022, Broadcom announced its intent to acquire VMware for $61 billion. This raises significant questions for VMware Tanzu customers going forward. It is not clear whether VMware will operate as a separate entity or what will happen with VMware Tanzu. There are VMware employee and customer concerns as well. Based on the current results of both Broadcom and VMware, a number of analysts are anticipating either a price increase or reduction in the headcount, or both.

A new version of Rancher Desktop with a redesigned user-friendly Preferences dialog and several other improvements has just been released!

With the recent advancements in service delivery through containers, Linux has gained a lot of popularity in cloud computing by enabling digital businesses to expand easily regardless of their size or budget. These advancements have also brought a new wave of attack, which is challenging to address with the same tools we have been using for non cloud-native environments.
