Kubernetes probes are essential tools for maintaining the health and reliability of applications running in containers. Among these, the liveness probe plays a critical role in checking if an application is running correctly. If it detects any problems, Kubernetes can automatically restart the affected container, thus ensuring the application remains available without manual intervention.

Today marks an important milestone as Codefresh joins forces with Octopus Deploy, a leading player in the Continuous Delivery space. For those less familiar with Octopus, they have been at the forefront of delivering cutting-edge Continuous Delivery for VMs, Windows, and recently stepped into Kubernetes as well.

There are many missteps in the app modernization journey. For more than ten years, we’ve worked with clients on hundreds of modernization projects, from single apps to portfolios of apps in large enterprises and our experience has led us to identify four of the most common anti-patterns impacting organizations.

The customer in question is one of the world’s leading providers of technology and telecommunication services. In this guide, we will share how one of their teams migrated from a traditional CI solution to a powerful Internal Developer Portal using Codefresh and Port.

Operators take a real-world operations team’s knowledge, wisdom, and expertise, and codify it into a computer program that helps operating complex server applications like databases, messaging systems, or web applications. Operators provide implementations for operating applications that are testable and thus more reliable at runtime.

The need for automation is becoming more important day by day. The process of integrating written code with already working code and publishing new code to live environments is a very error-prone process. Performing static analysis, running tests, packaging, and versioning are tasks that require a lot of manual effort. It’s also a complex task to solve the problem of deploying the projects we develop to more than one environment, on more than one machine, without automation.

CI/CD platforms are now an integral part of any software development approach. They help teams to automate critical phases of their workflow. From integrating new code seamlessly to deploying updates swiftly, CI/CD tools not only streamline operations but also promote continuous improvement. As we enter 2024, the world of CI/CD tools is more vibrant and essential than ever.

This article is part of our series “Codefresh in the Wild” which shows how we picked public open-source projects and deployed them to Kubernetes with our own pipelines. We will use several tools such as GitHub, Docker, Codefresh, Argo CD, Kubernetes. This guide chronicles how we integrated all those tools together in order to build an end-to-end Kubernetes deployment workflow.

The performance, scalability, and flexibility that Kubernetes offers are big reasons for its rapid adoption. At the same time, however, it’s not simple or easy to manage Kubernetes clusters, which means third party tools are practically a requirement as you scale. I have been reminded of this a lot lately. While attending three major tech conferences in recent months, I spoke with a number of companies at varying phases of their Kubernetes journey.

Resilience has more than one meaning, but the one we typically think of is the capability to withstand a crisis when it strikes and be equipped to face higher challenges. Building and adopting resilient technological solutions is the need of today's modern businesses. An enterprise fortified with resilience is well-equipped to face any unforeseen disruptions, mitigate damages, recover quickly, and reduce incident management costs.
