Container technology is changing the way we think about building, shipping, and running applications. Containers are lightweight packages of software that include everything it needs to run an application. This includes operating system components as well as libraries and other dependencies. Emerging technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes empowers organizations to deliver quality software with speed and ease.

In this webinar, we talk with platform engineering leaders at BambooHR, a SaaS leader in the Human Resources space, about furthering their journey into Kubernetes. We are joined by Kelsey Hightower to help moderate and provide commentary on what he has seen in the space. As BambooHR kicks off their journey with Shipa, learn from the prospectus of the team moving the needle in engineering efficiency and developer experience.

Understanding the fundamental architecture will help you successfully deploy Kubernetes (K8s). Read on as we’ll introduce you to some of the key components of K8s.

So you have a Kubernetes cluster, and you are tempted to isolate your production from staging? If you are still unsure, don’t know where to start, or have doubts about the cost, this article should help you shine a light through all of your interrogations.

I guess at this point, you have heard of a company called Amazon and its business unit called Amazon Web Services, or AWS. Although you can read different stories about its beginning, one common thread across all of them is that it started with the need to scale quickly while enabling developers to deploy their services rapidly.

Amazon’s custom-built Graviton processor allows users to create ARM instances in the AWS public cloud, and Rancher K3s is an excellent way to run Kubernetes in these instances. By allowing a lightweight implementation of Kubernetes optimized for ARM with a single binary, K3s simplifies the cluster initialization process down to executing a simple command.

Kubernetes has become an enormously popular choice for containerized applications since its 2014 launch. Many software developers rely on the tool, which is now in v1.23.1. However, there are other choices on the market for container orchestration. One such tool is Nomad, originally launched in 2015. Generally pitched as an alternative to Kubernetes, Nomad, which most recently released v1.2, promotes itself as a simple, flexible option for software teams.

Shipa Cloud is how we run the Shipa control plane on behalf of users in order to give them the fastest path possible to implementing Application as Code within their clusters. You can try out Shipa Cloud for free today by going to shipa.io. Besides being the fastest way possible to get started with Shipa, it also takes away the responsibility of upgrades, maintenance, and uptime of the control plane for our users, but that responsibility doesn’t just disappear.

With the 1.1.0 release of Rancher Desktop, there are some changes that give you more control over your environment.
