As we continue to build our vision around Shipa Insights, we are pleased to announce that we are now including engineering efficiency statistics along with the policy and security violations from our initial release. Getting started with Shipa Insights is very easy, Shipa Insights is there for you automatically. Navigate to the Insights Module and take a look at what Shipa has been keeping track of / discovering on your behalf.

The modernization of infrastructure and applications is driving the rapid growth of containers, and as companies scale the adoption of Kubernetes, it’s critical to incorporate security and compliance. The challenge? Compliance and security is a journey, not a state in time, and application security in Kubernetes has a large surface area. This challenge increases exponentially as you run more applications, onboard more developers, add more environments, add new pipelines, and more.

Hi everyone, Albane here 👋 If you read my changelogs, you probably realized that I have been talking about a V3 in the making; almost a year after our V2, the wait is almost over because after gathering all of your precious feedback and nearly a quarter of work the Alpha testing is coming before the end of the month! 🤩 This V3 is undoubtedly the most significant product evolution of the last twelve months, but what’s so special about it?

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation published their Annual Report for 2021 which outlines the past year and what can be expected in the upcoming 6 months. Community leaders and 62,000 contributors on GitHub came together to report on initiatives and updates to create CNCF’s second annual report. So, here are the important updates from the Kubernetes Annual Report that we think you need to know.

Kubernetes is an open source software that helps you manage and deploy your containerized applications. Kubernetes consists of two major component control planes (which decide where to run your pod) and a worker node (where your workload runs). As Kubernetes is a complex system, managing these components is challenging, and this is where you can use a Kubernetes as a Service solution like Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).

We’re pleased to announce a new out-of-the-box dashboard for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) that allows you to immediately visualize the health and performance of your AKS clusters. This dashboard organizes and highlights the most critical information from the standard AKS metrics, while also incorporating log data to provide observability into the control plane.

The process of software development has changed radically. Development is fast-paced and needs testing and staging environments to reflect production accurately. Still, achieving this can be a significant operational hassle. Most engineering teams use a single staging environment, making it hard for developers to test their changes in isolation.

When I joined SUSE I heard about our Kubernetes distributions: Rancher Kubernetes Engine (RKE), RKE2 and K3s. However, the differences between RKE and RKE2 were not clear to me. I decided to spend time with them and blog about the differences.

I am super excited to announce that we have released our Slack integration. Then, you no longer need to watch your emails or keep watching the Qovery console to know if a deployment has occurred with success (or not 😁).
