Over the last few months, I’ve been listening and involved in conversations about Kubernetes (k8s) and trying to identify the common topics that creates debate on whether it’s a “good” or “bad” idea. There are sensible points of view on both sides of the debate.

If you are looking to account for your container costs and understand how your AWS Kubernetes or EKS cluster spend maps onto your workloads, this guide was made for you! In this post we will walk through the steps to get up and running with CloudZero and Amazon Container Insights fast. CloudZero has integrated with Amazon CloudWatch Container Insights for its strength as a secure and automated solution for sharing container metrics within AWS.

Kubernetes (k8s) is an open source platform. You can use it to automate, scale, and manage container workload distribution. K8s is ranked amongst the most widely used container orchestration tools. Many Kubernetes users run it in a public cloud, such as Microsoft Azure. You can use Azure resources for Kubernetes without worrying about lock-in.

We’re excited to announce the release of VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition 1.9 with support for Kubernetes 1.18.8. This release reaffirms our commitment to providing a production-ready container platform for customers, aligned to upstream Kubernetes, with additional support for Windows Containers and Velero. In this post, we'll focus on some of the key capabilities offered in Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition 1.9 that further support customers with production readiness.

Containers and Kubernetes have revolutionized the way many teams deploy applications. But with the many benefits that these technologies provide come new challenges. Key among those challenges is security. By adding more layers and complexity to application environments, containers and Kubernetes create new opportunities for attackers and new security threats for Kubernetes admins to address.

A lot has happened since VMworld 2019. OK, that might be the understatement of the year. But in that time, VMware Tanzu has evolved into a broad portfolio for building and modernizing applications. Operations teams now have what they need to build a more secure software supply chain. And, at the foundation, vSphere pros have a simplified way to get started with Kubernetes.

This article aims to teach readers about K3s, its relation to kubernetes, and delves into the ways in which Relay uses these technologies. In this article, we refer to you, the reader, as a developer learning about k3s, kubernetes, and other cloud-native tech. Enjoy!

Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) is the official operator for provisioning Elastic Stack deployments in Kubernetes. It orchestrates not only day-one provisioning, but also has the processes and best practices for day-two management and maintenance baked in. If you want to run your own Elastic Stack deployment on Kubernetes, then look no further than ECK!

Kubernetes has become the world’s most popular container orchestration system and is taking the enterprise ecosystem by storm. At this disruptive moment it’s useful to look back and review the security threats that have evolved in this dynamic landscape. Identifying these threats and exploits and being a proactive learner may save you a lot of time and effort…as well as help you retain your reputation in the long run.

Adopting Kubernetes and service-based architecture can bring many benefits to organizations – teams move faster and applications scale more easily. However, visibility into cloud costs is made more complicated with this transition. This is because applications and their resource needs are often dynamic, and teams share core resources without transparent prices attached to workloads.
