If you’re managing multiple Kubernetes clusters at scale, you’ve probably run into Kubernetes cluster sprawl. And if you haven’t, brace yourself, because you’ll likely cross that bridge in the near future.

It's common practice that development environments for the same product are kept the same (or at least compatible) for smooth software development life cycle (SDLC) workflow. That brings the question, why do we need more than one environment for the same product. In today’s modern software development, it is crucial for product development teams to maintain an effective and rapid workflow if they want to gain a competitive edge in the product market.

Qovery V3, which is the most significant product evolution of the last twelve months, was launched in Alpha testing about two weeks ago now. We started gathering some feedback and also added some new functionality since then so let’s take a look on how’s going.

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is a data center architecture that uses software to provide a scalable, efficient, cost-effective way to deploy and manage resources. HCI virtualizes and combines storage, computing, and networking into a single system that can be easily scaled up or down as required.

PHP is one of the most popular open source programming languages on the internet, used for web development platforms such as Magento, WordPress, or Drupal. In addition to all PHP bases, PHP-FPM is the most popular alternative implementation of PHP FastCGI. It has additional features which are really useful for high-traffic websites. In this article, you’ll learn how to monitor PHP-FPM with Prometheus.

With the latest releases of Kubewarden v1.1.0 and the verify-image-signatures policy, it’s now possible to use GithubActions or KeylessPrefix for verifying images. Read our previous blog post if you want to learn more about how to verify container images with Sigstore using Kubewarden.

Enterprises are increasingly adopting Kubernetes for the value that it brings to their organizations, from IT cost savings to improved time to market for application development. But with this shift comes a fundamental challenge: how to gain comprehensive visibility into your Kubernetes applications, when most existing monitoring tools are hard to scale or provide little or no visibility into Kubernetes? This challenge stems from two unique characteristics of Kubernetes. One, it is ephemeral.

As cloud native concepts and adoption take hold, many enterprises are now considering and implementing ways to achieve the primary objective of cloud native technology: enabling engineers to make significant changes to systems easily, frequently, and confidently. More and more enterprises are recognizing that cloud native technologies, such as Kubernetes, can indeed serve as the foundational infrastructure for building their own in-house platforms, greatly empowering their operations teams.

2022 Gartner® Market Guide for Container Management identifies the major trends in the container and Kubernetes market and offers guidance for organizations deploying containerized platforms. D2iQ, whose offerings we believe align closely with Gartner recommendations, is listed as a Representative Vendor for container management. The findings in the Gartner container management report should be taken in context with the analyst firm’s predictions for widespread cloud-native adoption.

Docker is a platform as a service product. With Docker, you can easily deploy applications into Docker containers. Containers are software "packages" that bundle together an application's source code with its libraries, configurations, and dependencies. This helps software run more consistently on different machines. To use Docker containers, you need to understand how Docker networking works. Below, we'll answer the question: "what is Docker network host?". We'll also take a look to see how it works.
