We are thrilled to share the exciting news that Qovery has once again been recognized as a Momentum Leader for DevOps in the Winter 2024 Grid Report. This marks the third consecutive time we've received this prestigious acknowledgment, and we couldn't be more grateful for the ongoing support of our incredible community of users 🙏

In Kubernetes management, the ability to efficiently monitor resource utilization is very important for cluster owners. Have you ever heard about the kubectl top command and wondered how it could revolutionize your Kubernetes management experience? If so, you're in the right place. The kubectl top command – a powerful tool that offers snapshots of resource metrics for pods and nodes within a Kubernetes cluster.

In November 2023, Broadcom closed its acquisition of VMware in one of the largest technology acquisitions in recent times. In doing so, it ushered in a new era for the entire Tanzu portfolio of products and services, many aspects of which came to fruition through other acquisitions.

As with any distributed system, networking plays a fundamental role in Kubernetes. Whether it’s allowing containers on different nodes to communicate, exposing services to external clients, or managing the flow of data between pods, Kubernetes networking is at the heart of the Kubernetes ecosystem. Understanding this system is the key to keeping your deployments running smoothly.

Despite the widespread adoption of Kubernetes, many DevOps teams and SREs still struggle to troubleshoot issues because of all the complexity that comes with the open source container orchestration platform. That’s why we developed Kubernetes Monitoring, an application in Grafana Cloud you can use to visualize and alert on your Kubernetes clusters.

Deploying Kubernetes workloads in Azure using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) empowers organizations with the ability to scale with unlimited compute and storage resources. But every organization needs to keep track of its cloud spend and avoid spiraling costs or financial surprises. This makes visibility into cloud costs crucial to understanding cloud and application cost structure.

Reliability risks are potential points of failure in your system where an outage could occur. If you can find and remediate reliability risks, then you can prevent incidents before they happen. In complex Kubernetes systems, these reliability risks can take a wide variety of forms, including node failures, pod or container crashes, missing autoscaling rules, misconfigured load balancing or application gateway rules, pod crash loops, and more. And they’re more prevalent than you might think.

At Qovery, we build our frontend using Nx and rely on the official nrwl/ci GitHub Actions. Our frontend requires third-party tokens during compile time, but we would like to avoid hardcoding them or using the.env file to define our tokens. The latter exposes our source code directly on GitHub, and even though it's not sensitive data, we don't want it to be easily scraped.

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. This week’s pick is draw.io an online application for drawing different types of diagrams. We will use several tools such as GitHub, Docker, Helm Codefresh, Argo Rollouts, Argo CD. This guide chronicles how we integrated all those tools together in order to build an end-to-end Kubernetes deployment workflow.
