KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2023 is just around the corner, and the OSS and cloud native community is eagerly anticipating the event, which will take place November 6 - 9 in Chicago.

For many developers and engineers, Kubernetes is the de facto choice for container orchestration. That’s primarily because of its efficiency in handling and scaling container workloads. However, the complexity of managing nodes in a Kubernetes cluster can cause recurring headaches for even the most experienced and skilled IT teams. This is where `kubectl cordon` comes into play.

In this year’s report, we see how organizations are using containers not just to solve their day-to-day infrastructure needs. Rather, customers are exploring the next technology frontier of containers by building next-generation applications, enhancing developer productivity, and optimizing costs.

With Kubernetes emerging as the de facto operating system of the cloud, capable of running almost anything, it’s not a surprise that many enterprises are rapidly porting their Apache Spark workloads to Kubernetes. This includes migrating Amazon EMR workloads to Amazon EKS to gain the additional deployment and scaling benefits of a fully managed service like Amazon EKS.

In our continuous journey to support teams grappling with the complexities of Kubernetes environments, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of Honeycomb for Kubernetes, a dedicated solution designed to bridge the growing divide between infrastructure/platform teams and application developers. This is available to all plans (including Free!) at no additional cost.

Containers are a lightweight, portable, and consistent way to package applications and their dependencies. Containers provide an isolated environment, ensuring an application runs reliably across different environments. Enterprises and tech-savvy individuals are using container technologies because of their benefits. However, container orchestration tools have become necessary to manage clusters with the rise in container usage.

If you are confused about whether to go for AWS or Google Cloud (GCP) in 2023, then you should read this article. Both AWS and GCP have made tremendous progress over the past few years. There was a time when AWS was much ahead of Google, but not anymore. Google has reduced the gap to a great extent; it even surpasses AWS in some areas, especially data analytics. However, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this problem.

Do you find yourself lying awake late at night, worried that your greatest observability fears will materialize as one of the most horrific specters of Kubernetes-driven chaos reaches up through your mattress to consume your very soul?

Software development, DevOps has emerged as a game-changer. It’s not just a buzzword; it’s a cultural and technological shift that allows organizations to accelerate their software delivery while maintaining high quality and reliability. However, successful DevOps implementation is not merely about adopting a set of tools or following a predefined set of rules. It’s a holistic approach that requires a deep understanding of key principles.

What better motivation to start adopting a technology than the need to completely replace the alternative. From a world driven on limited resources like gas, coal, and oil to wind, hydro, nuclear, geothermal, and solar… we find ourselves, as a species, evolving past a first generation we envisioned as abundant, but turned sparse. Adopting IPv6 networking is another version of this same story.
