Kubernetes for the JavaScript Developer - Part One - Create a Docker Image

Since its introduction in 2014 to the world, Kubernetes has been helping usher in the next generation of distributed workloads. As workloads started to be containerized, so did the need to manage the containers, thus the inception of container orchestrators. There have been a few container orchestrators out there before Kubernetes such as Docker Swarm and Apache Mesos. Though as a feature developer, Kubernetes can certainly feel like an 800-pound gorilla in the room.

The Best AWS Elastic Beanstalk Alternatives for 2022

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an AWS-managed service. It is used by startups, small & mid-sized businesses for web application development. As it comes pre-configured with EC2 server and is efficient at using automatic provisioning of services and resources, handling application code and environment configurations seems easier with this PaaS solution. AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a go-to option for various startups, small & mid-sized businesses.

Customizing the JFrog Xray Horizontal Pod Autoscaler

In cloud native computing (Kubernetes in our case), there is a requirement to automatically scale the compute resources used for performing a task. The autoscaling cloud computer strategy allows to dynamically adjust the active number of application servers and allocated resources instead of responding manually in real-time to traffic surges that necessitate more resources and instances.

Cloud-Native Infrastructure Automation - The Key to 5G Success

5G has proven to be a game-changer for several businesses. Given the advancements in O-RAN contributed by cloud-native design & 5G Core, telecommunication vendors, Communication Service Providers (CSPs), and enterprises are trying to deliver an extraordinary customer experience by leveraging 5G. This also presents a massive opportunity for service providers to simplify and enhance customer experience, fortify existing revenue streams, and tap into new markets.

What a more holistic approach to cloud-native security and observability looks like

The rise of cloud native and containerization, along with the automation of the CI/CD pipeline, introduced fundamental changes to existing application development, deployment, and security paradigms. Because cloud native is so different from traditional architectures, both in how workloads are developed and how they need to be secured, there is a need to rethink our approach to security in these environments.

How to monitor Starlink with Prometheus

In this article, you’ll learn how Starlink works in a domestic environment, and how to monitor Starlink connection with Prometheus. SpaceX’s Starlink uses satellites in low-earth orbit to provide high-speed Internet services to most of the planet. During the beta, Starlink expects users to see data speeds vary from 50Mb/s to 150Mb/s and latency from 20ms to 40ms. It’s also expected that there will be brief periods of no connectivity at all.

Getting Started With GitOps and Argo CD

Today we are going to explore getting started using Argo CD. This post is going to assume you know a bit about containers, and that you already have an empty cluster in place (or know how to create one). If any of this is unfamiliar, head over to Understanding the Basics to get a bit of practice. Before we get started, let’s talk about GitOps.

Should Your Startup Hire a DevOps?

Software development no more emphasizes “final delivery” or deployment of a project. It is more about “continuous delivery and integration” today. The market also demands rapid delivery and updates without missing out on elements like ‘quality’ and ‘innovation.’ So, instead of building a super-robust well-tested product at once, developers focus on faster and bug-free releases to create a reliable product over time.

Why Kubernetes Is Worth Learning

Learning Kubernetes (K8s) can be intimidating. There are so many great tools to increase your use of K8s, it’s confusing to know where to begin. You learned how to walk by first learning to crawl. In the same way, to effectively integrate K8s into your software infrastructure, you need to build a foundation一a foundation of knowledge where you understand the capability of K8s and how it can improve your organization’s operations.
