As enterprises prepare to deploy Industry 4.0 applications, they are increasingly adopting intelligent infrastructure and newer automation technologies. With aggressive digitalization comes an insatiable appetite for improved performance and new services. Enterprises and customers are adopting the current 5th Generation (5G) mobile network as quickly as it becomes available.
As a DevOps Engineer, one day you’re performing magic in the terminal, settling clusters, and feeling like a god. On some other days, you feel like a total fraud and scam. Errors and bugs appear from everywhere, you don’t know where to start, and you don’t know where to look. Sadly, days like this come far too often. To be more specific, what often causes these bad days is none other than Kubernetes itself.
This series shows you how to get started with infrastructure as code (IaC). The goal is to help developers build a strong understanding of IaC through tutorials and code examples. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an integral part of modern continuous integration pipelines. It is the process of managing and provisioning cloud and IT resources using machine readable definition files.

In case you missed the big news, after almost two years in beta and early access phases, Civo is now general availability! Find out what this means for Civo and the future of the platform over at our blog. We've also launched the first-ever Civo Hackathon! This is an initiative to bring together developers, architects, experts, and students from across the globe to develop innovative Kubernetes projects on Civo.
The Telegraf 1.20.3 release changed the official Telegraf DockerHub image to no longer run the Telegraf service as root. With this change, the Telegraf service runs with the least amount of privileges in the container to enhance security given the wide extensibility and array of plugins available in Telegraf.
With the Calico 3.10 release, Dynamic Packet Capture is available in Dynamic Service Graph. This means users who require self-service, live troubleshooting for microservices and Kubernetes workloads can capture and evaluate traffic packets on endpoints without writing a single line of code or using any 3rd-party troubleshooting tools. Users don’t need to learn about or have knowledge of kubectl or YAML to troubleshoot their microservices and Kubernetes cluster.
Kubernetes has evolved into the leading platform to build your microservices systems. Given its increased maturity over the past few years as well as the robust ecosystem which has been built around its technology, Kubernetes has become more production-ready than ever. Nevertheless, it still has its own unique set of challenges. In particular, it brings a lot of complexity into play with its adoption.
In our previous post , we focused on tips for making the transition and migration to Kubernetes a smoother, and less painful process. In this post, we’d like to now provide some tips from the operational trenches for future-proofing your Kubernetes operation, after making the move. Kubernetes, as a software-driven system, has many benefits for engineers and DevOps teams to take advantage of.
Helm has some limits, discover how we extended functionnalities with Rust.
