Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Kubernetes (K8s) have proven to be a powerful combination, with more K8s users also using Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) more than any other Kubernetes managed service. With EKS, users are able to benefit from the agility and scalability of Kubernetes on AWS without having to manage the K8s control plane. Paired with Ocean by Spot, users are able to abstract away infrastructure management as well.
In Rancher 2.4, the latest release of Rancher Labs’ open source Kubernetes management platform, you can now manage K3s cluster upgrades from the Rancher UI. K3s is a lightweight Kubernetes distribution from Rancher that you can use to set up your development Kubernetes environment within minutes. It is great for production use cases and is built primarily for IOT and Edge devices. In Rancher 2.4, you can import K3s clusters and can manage the upgrades for it via Rancher itself.
Container technologies have captivated the computing world. Containers are the cornerstone for cloud computing and microservice architectures. Whether it be Docker™, Docker Compose™, or Kubernetes™, the IT world is embracing this technology with great enthusiasm. How can you monitor containers? They are different from traditional hosts and servers. For one thing, they are not physical machines; nor are they virtual machines.
Because of its popularity and widespread adoption, Kubernetes has become the industry’s de facto for deploying a containerized app. Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is Google Cloud Products’ (GCP) managed Kubernetes service. It provides out-of-the-box features such as auto-scaling nodes, high-availability clusters, and automatic upgrades of masters and nodes. In addition, it offers the most convenient cluster setup workflow and the best overall developer experience.
Ocean by Spot is a fully managed solution for your Kubernetes and/or AWS ECS data plane, with the goal of delivering a serverless container experience for application developers. With that in mind, we are excited to announce that users can now import AWS Auto Scaling Groups (ASGs) into Ocean via the Spot Console.
It has arrived! Azure Red Hat OpenShift 4 is here and generally available; now, how do you add even more granular security and faster time to repair (MTTR) for your teams? Sysdig, that’s how!
It feels like a lifetime ago, well, 3 years is a lifetime in tech, that I wrote a blog post explaining how we rewrote our API server from Golang to Ruby on Rails. Here we are and I'm about to explain about how we've been back and forth doing the same thing for our CLI. Just after that time, I wrote the first version of our CLI utility in Golang. However, with only me knowing Golang on the team, we weren't able to achieve the velocity and pace of adding features within the CLI as I'd like.
Our very own regional director of Northern EMEA, Jeroen Overmaat, recently joined our partner, Magic Sandbox BV (MSB), for the inaugural episode of Magic Devcast, their new technology podcast. Magic Devcast brings together technology industry personalities and influencers from around the world to discuss how they tackle the ever-changing landscape, how to approach remote work, learning and much more.
The Twelve-Factor App methodology is a methodology for building platform-agnostic and resilient applications. It was introduced by Adam Wiggins while working at Heroku in 2011. Nearly 10 years later, this methodology is still considered by the developer community as an excellent practice to follow when building an application. In this article, we will see step by step how Qovery respects and improves the 12-factor methodology. Here we go.
Running and maintaining CI/CD infrastructure has long been a headache for engineering teams which has led to the popularity of SAAS solutions like Codefresh cloud. But for many, this doesn’t meet their strict security requirements or allow them to access on-prem code, artifacts, or other resources.
