If you are looking into the cloud-native world, then the chances of coming across the term “Kubernetes” is high. Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source system that has the primary responsibility of being a container orchestrator. This has quickly become a lifeline for managing our containerized applications through creating automated deployments.

Kubernetes has revolutionized the world of container orchestration, providing organizations with a powerful solution for deploying, managing, and scaling applications. However, the complexity of Kubernetes can be daunting for newcomers. In this blog, we will demystify Kubernetes by breaking down its core components, revealing its operational principles, and guiding you through the process of running a pod.

Everything you want to know about high cardinality in cloud native environments and how to manage it effectively.

Rancher Desktop is equipped with convenient and powerful features that make it stand out as one of the best developer tools and the fastest ways to build and deploy Kubernetes locally. In this blog, we will tackle Rancher Desktop´s functionalities and features to guide you and help you take full advantage of all the benefits of using Rancher Desktop as a container management platform and for running local Kubernetes.

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit that has gained significant popularity in DevOps and systems monitoring. At the core of Prometheus lies PromQL (Prometheus Query Language), a powerful and flexible query language used to extract valuable insights from the collected metrics. In this guide, we will explore the basics of PromQL and provide query examples for an example use case.

This Kubernetes Architecture series covers the main components used in Kubernetes and provides an introduction to Kubernetes architecture. After reading these blogs, you’ll have a much deeper understanding of the main reasons for choosing Kubernetes as well as the main components that are involved when you start running applications on Kubernetes.

Spot by NetApp is thrilled to announce its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to develop a CloudCheckr with AWS Built-in solution that automatically installs, configures, and integrates with native AWS Cloud Foundational Services across multiple domains, such as identity, governance, security, and operations. As a premier partner of the AWS Built-in program, CloudCheckr is now offered as a turn-key solution that can be deployed quickly and easily through the AWS Marketplace.

Kubernetes has become the de-facto platform for containerized applications. But it’s a fractured environment and each Kubernetes distribution has their own nuances. Further, much of today’s cloud native software design assumes a healthy Internet connection, which is not always available. What’s missing is a standardized way to deliver applications on top of any Kubernetes, without an Internet connection (also known as air-gapped deployments).

If you had the power to predict the future, how would you use it? Gartner refers to the predictive modeling process as that which collects data, formulates a statistical model, makes predictions, and then validates the model as additional data becomes available. In the world of intelligent automation, teams use predictive modeling to formulate how future outcomes or behaviors will be, by using historical data, machine learning (ML) algorithms, and analytical techniques.

June 13, Vancouver, OpenInfra Summit – Canonical today announced the extension of its commercial OpenStack offering to small-scale cloud environments with a new project Sunbeam. The project is 100% open source and is available free-of-charge. Early adopters can also opt-in for comprehensive security coverage and full commercial support under the Ubuntu Pro + Support subscriptions once they complete the deployment themselves.
