Modern applications are designed to leverage cloud native technologies like serverless and containers to run at an unprecedented scale, moving the focus away from machines to the actual service. Lumigo’s observability platform was purpose-built for these evolving cloud environments, and we’ve been delivering the most advanced automated distributed tracing for serverless applications since 2019.
Cloud technology, and applications running in the cloud, are becoming more and more common. With this rise in cloud computing, application development has needed to change as well, resulting in what can be called the cloud-native approach to software development. In this article, you will learn all about cloud-native technology and how cloud-native companies approach building their applications.
I love what we are building here at Shipa, and I couldn’t be more proud of all the great things the team is constantly delivering, but one thing I like is having personal projects. These help me keep up to date with technology and learn new things. I try to keep the investment in those projects at a minimum and under control. That goes across both the timing and the resources invested. My most recent project is related to the experience when defining cloud-native applications.
HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller provides custom resources named Backend, Defaults, and Global that let you manage ingress controller settings more efficiently. To start using them right away, check the documentation for steps and examples. In this blog post, you’ll learn why custom resources are such a powerful feature and see tips for getting the most out of them.
While organizations have been moving to modernize their IT infrastructures by adopting cloud-native Kubernetes technologies, the pandemic helped accelerate this movement. The surge in cloud services adoption during the lockdowns emphasized the need for organizations to make their business and technology models more agile.
It's impossible to learn about containerization without hearing about Docker and Kubernetes. These two tools together dominate the world of containers, both being the de-facto standard in what they each do. When you're first getting started learning about containers, it can be quite a challenge to figure out what the differences are between these two tools.
In addition to the usual updates to supporting utilities, Rancher Desktop 1.4 adds a couple of new useful features we think you’ll like.
Last May, KubeCon gathered multiple tech enthusiasts, students, professionals, and companies. The event highlighted various topics and insights on how to collaborate on pushing the boundaries of cloud-native computin One of our Engineering Directors, Mykola Marzhan, shared his knowledge about databases on Kubernetes at KubeCon, during a session organised by the DoK.Community. We’ve picked out some of the key highlights from the talk below.
Today, a lot of organizations face the challenge of running open source software in production environments in a secure and compliant way. Just six months ago, we witnessed how a vulnerability in Log4j, one of the most popular open source libraries, compromised millions of sites and applications, including products from major cloud vendors.
Project Calico has offered a production-ready data plane based on eBPF since September 2020, and it’s been available for technical evaluation for even longer (since February 2020). The pre-requisites and limitations are simple to review, it’s easy to enable, and it’s easy to validate your configuration. So, there’s never been a better time to start experiencing the benefits! You do know what those are, don’t you? Don’t worry if not!
