GKE is a powerful tool for managing and deploying containerized apps. As organizations expand and fully leverage its capabilities, managing costs becomes a significant challenge. Without a strategy for cutting GKE expenses, cloud spending can quickly spiral out of control. This guide aims to simplify the complexities of GKE pricing and offer actionable cost optimization tips to help you save on costs. We’ll cover insights for making your GKE usage efficient and cost-effective.

Earlier this year we shared our vision for VMware Tanzu Platform, the evolution of the Tanzu portfolio. Today we are excited to officially announce that Tanzu Platform is now available!

Komodor’s own Marino Wijay and other community members share insights from KubeCon EU 2024, exploring the latest developments in cloud-native technology and their experiences. Marino and the team will be having discussions on emerging trends, innovative solutions, and more in this engaging session.

Running a Kubernetes cluster includes keeping an eye on it to make sure your apps and services are healthy. You don’t want to be staring at a bunch of Kubernetes dashboards all day, though. You want to set up kubernetes alerting with appropriate alerts instead, right? With k8s alerts, you will spot problems quickly in your Kubernetes cluster and hopefully fix them quickly as well. But what should you alert on? Here are the top 10 most important alerts you should set up for your Kubernetes cluster.

Explore the best strategies for implementing automated testing in CI/CD pipelines to streamline your development process and ensure high-quality software delivery.

In November 2023, the technology landscape witnessed a monumental shift with Broadcom's acquisition of VMware for $69 billion. This strategic move not only redefines the contours of IT and cloud computing but also signifies a new era for the new giant. Broadcom's leap towards subscription-based services and hybrid cloud environments echoes a broader industry evolution towards more flexible, service-oriented architectures.

Have you ever found yourself wrestling with the complexities of managing ArgoCD applications across multiple environments? Are you constantly juggling naming conventions and struggling to correlate applications representing the same microservice or product? If you’ve been deep in the trenches of GitOps, you’ve likely encountered these challenges firsthand.

Engineering teams are rapidly embracing ephemeral environments. These short-lived, on-demand environments offer a game-changer for developers, accelerating workflows and boosting efficiency. However, with a variety of ephemeral environment tools available, choosing the right one can feel like navigating a maze. Today, I’m sharing a detailed assessment checklist for Ephemeral Environment tools.

Kubernetes has emerged as the clear cornerstone for orchestrating containerized applications. However, alongside its numerous benefits, Kubernetes introduces its own set of complexities, particularly in monitoring and managing costs. The dynamic nature of Kubernetes — where resources can be scaled up or down in response to demand — makes traditional cost monitoring methods inadequate.

In the previous article of the series we explained how to model GitOps environments and promote an application between them. That article was laser-focused on a single application and its Kubernetes resources. In this article we will zoom out to look at several related subjects: It is worth mentioning that as always, our advice is a general recommendation that follows best practices.
