When we first started our managed Kubernetes beta, we knew utilising K3s as the Kubernetes distribution of choice was the right move. Not only is it light-weight and quick to deploy, K3s has features ideally suited for the scenarios we envisioned our users would encounter. It’s important for us to make sure any service we offer is 100% compatible with industry standards, and K3s allows us to do just that but with simplicity and speed for our users.
Serverless provides benefits far beyond the ease of management…it strongly encourages “useful” engineering practices. Here’s how. It’s hard to determine what can be considered a “good” or “bad” engineering practice. We often hear about best practices, but everything really boils down to a specific use case. Therefore, I deliberately chose the word “useful” rather than “good” in the title.
Shipa is excited to launch our new webcast series, Talking Shipa. To kick this series off, we sat down with Shipa Founder and CEO, Bruno Andrade, to discuss the release of Shipa Application Management Framework for Kubernetes, version 1.2. In this video, Bruno spends a few minutes with us to talk about the new features and improvements that are packed into this new release.
Hybrid cloud allows businesses to optimise their costs associated with cloud infrastructure maintenance. It also brings many other benefits, such as business continuity, compliance, better scalability and improved agility. According to the Forrester Wave: Hybrid Cloud Management, Q4 2020, hybrid cloud is an essential technology that every modern organisation is looking for and its adoption is only expected to grow in the following years.
Successful and blameless postmortems can turn incidents into a gift of learning and prevent repeat mistakes.
Organizations have now seen the value of building microservices. They are delivering applications as discrete functional parts, each of which can be delivered as a container or service and managed separately. But for every application, there are more parts to manage than ever before, especially at scale, and that’s where many turn to an orchestrator for help.
With more and more businesses depending on technology, networking can get more and more complex. Therefore, a network topology plan, which gives you a clear oversight of what’s at stake, will always be useful. But what are the benefits of having a topology system in place? How can it help a business with its performance management in real-time? There are a variety of network monitoring tools out there that practice a topological approach to support.
Data centers are some of the most critical pieces of infrastructure on the planet. Without them, many of the biggest companies would not be able to operate as they do. That’s why it is so crucial to make sure you are keeping a close eye on your data center’s performance. Data centers and server rooms are, according to some sources, getting smaller. Cloud computing, too, is moving things off-site. However, that doesn’t make them any less critical.
Up to 90% of businesses are now using cloud computing to some extent. These companies are also conducting up to 60% of their work via the cloud. This data clearly shows us that cloud environments are, at last, in the mainstream. However, there is still some confusion over the different types of cloud environment. While it is easy to assume that one cloud ‘fits all,’ different types serve differing purposes.
