Here we are getting started with GIT. We will begin by explaining some background on version control, then move on to how to work on Git on your system and finally how to set up to start working with GIT. By the end you should understand why Git is important for DevOps engineers, and why you should use it.

The Elastic APM K8s Attacher lets the Elastic APM agent auto-attach to the application in your pods by adding just one annotation to your deployment The Elastic® APM K8s Attacher allows auto-installation of Elastic APM application agents (e.g., the Elastic APM Java agent) into applications running in your Kubernetes clusters. The mechanism uses a mutating webhook, which is a standard Kubernetes component, but you don’t need to know all the details to use the Attacher.

A new year has started and some of the major IaaS providers are making major changes early on. AWS and GCP have both announced major changes that might be a signal for what's to come this year.

Apache Spark versus Kubernetes? Or both? The past few years have seen a dramatic increase in companies deploying Spark on Kubernetes (K8s). This isn’t surprising, considering the benefits that K8s brings to the table. Adopting Kubernetes can help improve resource utilization and reduce cloud expenses, a key initiative in many organizations given today’s economic climate.

Amazon Kubernetes Service (EKS) has rapidly become the de facto solution for organizations seeking to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications using Kubernetes. EKS simplifies the complexities associated with Kubernetes, allowing teams to focus on developing and deploying applications more efficiently. However, as organizations scale their Kubernetes environments, managing and optimizing costs can quickly become a significant concern.

Time and time again we hear the same statements from FinOps teams with respect to what is holding back optimization of wasteful resource consumption. Engineers and App Owners are interested in helping but stop short at actually taking actions to reduce that waste. There are many reasons for this main sticking point when it comes to application owners and developers taking action.

Let's face it! Kubernetes is the standard for container orchestration, reshaping how we deploy and manage applications for the last 8 years - do you even remember when you run "docker run " on an application server? 😁. However, it's crucial to recognize that Kubernetes was never initially designed with the everyday developer in mind.

It is essential to configure log rotation for Docker containers. Log rotation is not performed by default, and if it’s not configured, logs on the Docker host can build up and eat up disk space. This guide will teach us how to set up Docker log rotation. Logs are an essential piece of telemetry data. Logs can be used to debug performance issues in applications.

Picture this: It’s 2 p.m. and you’re sipping on coffee, happily chugging away at your daily routine work. The security team shoots you a message saying the latest pentest or security scan found an issue that needs quick remediation. On the surface, that’s not a problem and can be considered somewhat routine, given the pace of new CVEs coming out. But what if you look at your tooling and find it lacking when you start remediating the issue?
