Container Orchestration: A Beginner's Guide

Container orchestration is the process of managing containers using automation. It allows organizations to automatically deploy, manage, scale and network containers and hosts, freeing engineers from having to complete these processes manually. As software development has evolved from monolithic applications, containers have become the choice for developing new applications and migrating old ones.

Ensuring consistent Kubernetes container versions

One of Kubernetes' killer features is its ability to seamlessly update applications no matter how large your deployment is. Did a developer make a code change, and now you need to update a thousand running containers? Just run kubectl apply -f manifest.yaml and watch as Kubernetes replaces each outdated pod with the new version.

Regulating hyperscalers: How the CMA investigation could alter cloud computing

In 2022, Ofcom, a UK regulator, began its market study into the cloud industry to investigate the dominance that hyperscalers, especially AWS and Microsoft, hold over the industry and the limits this creates for customers. This investigation follows concerns surrounding customers feeling “locked in” to a single provider, potentially leading to inflated prices in the market¹.

Monitoring Kubernetes costs with OpenCost and VictoriaMetrics

Control over operational costs is pivotal in Kubernetes' deployment and management. Although Kubernetes brings power and control over your deployments, it also necessitates thorough understanding and management of costs. OpenCost, specifically designed for Kubernetes cost monitoring, combined with VictoriaMetrics, an efficient time series database, offers a comprehensive solution for this challenge.

OpenShift monitoring: Five crucial elements to look out for

Most IT firms build their empire on Kubernetes, for its amazing flexibility and super scalability. RedHat OpenShift Container Platform (formerly OpenShift Enterprise) is a hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes, which initially only operated on-premise, and has been open to service for more than nine years.

Optimize Kubernetes Monitoring Costs with Dynamic Property Filtering

LogicMonitor’s LM Container is an excellent choice for users who wish to effectively monitor Kubernetes environments running mission-critical business applications. We have now introduced a new cost optimization feature called dynamic property filtering, which offers added flexibility and customization to users. In this blog post, we will guide you through this exciting new feature with a step-by-step example of selectively monitoring a persistent volume based on its state.

Using Helm and Terraform for Codefresh Gitops Installations

Last year we launched the Codefresh delivery platform powered by Argo. After the initial launch we started collecting feedback from all companies that tried it (as well as existing customers) and cataloged all feature requests and implementation ideas. The main goal is always to iterate quickly and address the most common issues in the most efficient way possible.
