A fundamental element of the Kubernetes microservices system is the services model, which gives teams greater understanding of how their applications are deployed. These objects running within pods and containers, by extension, are RESTful since they’re based on APIs. However, DevOps teams can’t hope to run a tight ship without managing their services. Communication and visibility are absolutely crucial in a Kubernetes system.
Companies today are adopting software as a service (SaaS) at a rapid pace. There are many factors contributing to this trend, including: Many large enterprises, particularly in banking and financial services, have been hesitant to adopt SaaS because it challenges existing risk management models already in place for software.
Kubernetes operations (kOps) is one of the official Kubernetes (K8s) projects. The kOps project allows for rapid deployment of production-grade K8s clusters in multiple cloud platforms. By leveraging yaml manifests, kOps delivers a familiar experience to users who have worked with kubectl. Similar to K8s clusters in popular cloud platforms, kOps helps set up self-managed clusters to easily deliver high availability.
Shipa is designed to make it simple for developers to run their code on Kubernetes without having to know Kubernetes and for platform engineers to enforce controls and policies.
I worked at Google for six years. Internally, you have no choice — you must use Kubernetes if you are deploying microservices and containers (it’s actually not called Kubernetes inside of Google, it’s called Borg). But what was once solely an internal project at Google has since been open-sourced, and has become one of the most talked-about technologies in software development and operations.
Are you looking to benefit from automation but lack the experience to leverage an API? To equip you with the tools you need to start utilizing APIs and automation, we’ve put together these helpful Beginner FAQs covering common terminology, methods, and tools for testing APIs.
In the Kubernetes ecosystem there are a variety of ways for you to provision your cluster, and which one you choose generally depends on how well it integrates with your existing knowledge or your organization’s established tools. Kubespray is a tool built using Ansible playbooks, inventories, and variable files—and also includes supplemental tooling such as Terraform examples for provisioning infrastructure.
Spot by NetApp allows its users to manage their application infrastructure using a variety of provisioning tools. One of these tools is Terraform, an infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that allows users to build, change, and version infrastructure safely and efficiently. Spot by NetApp solutions supports multiple Terraform resources, such as Elastigroup, EMR Mr scaler, Managed Instance, and Ocean clusters for different cloud providers, and many more.
Modern, cloud-based software development lifecycles have quickly evolved from waterfall and are fully embracing the agile principles of DevOps. As part of this shift, continuous delivery practices have been adopted, giving organizations the capability to deliver and release code faster and more frequently than ever before. CI/CD tools bring velocity — code is always ready to be deployed, enabling organizations to commit multiple times a day.
12 years ago, when I started to work as a Developer, I would not have bet that I will write software and manage infrastructure right from my browser one day. At the time, web IDE did not exist. And managing infrastructure from the browser was super early. Today, it is all possible, and the future looks bright! I am proud to announce that you can edit your code via GitHub Codespaces right from Qovery. Take a look at this short introduction video. Happy coding!
