Prometheus Metric Federation with Thanos

Prometheus is a CNCF graduated project for monitoring and alerting. It is one of the most widely used monitoring and alerting tools in the Kubernetes ecosystem. Rancher users can leverage Prometheus quickly by using the built-in monitoring stack. Prometheus stores its metrics as a time series database on the local disk. Prometheus local storage is limited by the size of the disk and amount of metrics it can retain.

Monitoring AWS Lambda with Prometheus and Sysdig

In this post, we will show how it’s easily possible to monitor AWS Lambda with Sysdig Monitor. By leveraging existing Prometheus ingestion with Sysdig, you will be able to monitor serverless services with a single-pane-of-glass approach, giving you the confidence to run these services in production.

Instant scale up for even the most dynamic ECS clusters

One of the key features of Ocean by Spot is a “headroom” feature, the ability to maintain a dynamic buffer of spare capacity for immediate scale-up. Ocean continuously predicts which workloads are most likely to require scale-up and adjusts headroom in line with this prediction to enable immediate scheduling of new tasks, without waiting for infrastructure provisioning. This shortens the time to execution for these workloads and dramatically speeds up the scale-up process.

Kubernetes Log Management: The Basics

Log messages help us to understand data flow through applications, as well as spot when and where errors are occurring. There are a lot of resources for how to store and view logs for applications running on traditional services, but Kubernetes breaks the existing model by running many applications per server and abstracting away most of the maintenance for your applications. In this blog post, we focus on log management for applications running in Kubernetes by reviewing the following topics.

Understanding Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS)

Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes or EKS provides a Managed Kubernetes Service. Amazon does the undifferentiated heavy lifting, such as provisioning the cluster, performing upgrades and patching. Although it is compatible with existing plugins and tooling, EKS is not a proprietary AWS fork of Kubernetes in any way. This means you can easily migrate any standard Kubernetes application to EKS without any changes to your code base.

July 2020, What's new? Qovery Business, Web Interface, Faster deployments

Hello and welcome to another issue of This Month in Qovery! Qovery helps developer to deploy their applications in the Cloud in just a few seconds. This is a monthly summary of its progress and community. Do you build something with Qovery? Do you want to be mentioned? Tweet us at @Qovery_ or reply to this email.

Observability: From Push to Production

Developers are building and deploying to production with greater frequency. Elite organizations are deploying to production multiple times per day. All the while we continue to distribute our applications even wider with the adoption of micro-services, and global deployments. This consistent churn and increasing code complexity create the perfect storm that makes finding problems even harder. How do you know the changes just committed actually deployed? How do you know the changes worked?

vSphere 7 with Kubernetes Network Service, Part 2: Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster

vSphere 7 with Kubernetes enables operations teams to deliver both infrastructure and application services as part of the core platform. The Network service provides automation of software-defined networking to both the Kubernetes clusters embedded in vSphere and Tanzu Kubernetes clusters deployed through the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service for vSphere.
