We are delighted to announce the release of a new version of Rancher Desktop. This release includes significant enhancements to features such as Deployment Profiles, mount types support, networking proxy configuration, and other important bug fixes.
The report is so absurd and naive that it makes no sense to critique it in detail. - Kent Beck responding to the McKinsey Report. Luckily this was a hollow threat, because a few days later he and fellow blogger Gergely Orosz released a two part blog series critiquing not exactly Mckinsey's report but... any report that tried to put “effort based” metrics at the top of the list for things to track.
Behind the trends of cloud-native architectures and microservices lies a technical complexity, a paradigm shift, and a rugged learning curve. This complexity manifests itself in the design, deployment, and security, as well as everything that concerns the monitoring and observability of applications running in distributed systems like Kubernetes. Fortunately, there are tools to help developers overcome these obstacles.
Many cloud infrastructure providers make deploying services as easy as a few clicks. However, making those services high availability (HA) is a different story. What happens to your service if your cloud provider has an Availability Zone (AZ) outage? Will your application still work, and more importantly, can you prove it will still work? In this blog, we'll discuss AZ redundancy with a focus on Kubernetes clusters.
Picture this: You're knee-deep in the intricacies of a complex Kubernetes deployment, dealing with a web of services and resources that seem like a tangled ball of string. Visualization feels like an impossible dream, and understanding the interactions between resources? Well, that's another story. Meanwhile, your inbox is overflowing with alert emails, your Slack is buzzing with queries from the business side, and all you really want to do is figure out where the glitch is. Stressful? You bet!
VMware is pleased to reveal that we have been named an Outperformer in the 2023 GigaOm Radar Report for GitOps. In the outperformer ring and moving closer to a leadership position, VMware has been placed in the Platform Play and Innovation quadrant. The GigaOm Radar for GitOps shows VMware as an outperformer.
Among the benefits D2iQ customers gain by deploying the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) is an immutable and self-healing Kubernetes infrastructure. The benefits include greater reliability, uptime, and security, reduced complexity, and easier Kubernetes cluster management. The key to gaining these capabilities is Cluster API (CAPI). DKP uses CAPI to provision and manage Kubernetes clusters, which imposes an immutable deployment model and enables state reconciliation for Kubernetes clusters.
Ten months have elapsed since we launched Harvester v1.1 back in October of last year. Harvester has since become an integral part of the Rancher platform, experiencing substantial growth within the community while gathering valuable user feedback along the way. Our dedicated team has been hard at work incorporating this feedback into our development process, and today, I am thrilled to introduce Harvester v1.2.0!
