Kubernetes Master Class: Single Node, Standalone Servers, and Scalable, Secure Storage

Jul 25, 2019 By Rancher In Rancher
Not all of us have unlimited budgets for infinite nodes, and even if you do, it's important to spend wisely. If you're running Rancher in a non-production environment and want to start with a single node now and upgrade to an HA configuration later, you can do this with RKE. Once a cluster is up and running, make the best use of your available storage by deploying block-level replication with OpenEBS within your Kubernetes clusters.

Kubernetes Master Class: Using Persistent Storage in Kubernetes and Project Longhorn

Jul 16, 2019 By Rancher In Rancher
It’s often considered hard to use persistent storage correctly with Kubernetes. The concepts of Volume, PV, PVC, Storage Class; the implication of read-write-once vs read-write-many; the difference between Deployment vs StatefulSet are each obstacles for users to fully understand Kubernetes’s persistent storage.

The Three Pillars of Kubernetes Observability

Jul 12, 2019 By Rancher In Rancher
The three pillars of observability are metrics, logs, and traces. To get a complete view into your applications as well as the Kubernetes platform they run on, you need to be looking at all the different perspectives. In this session, we will look at each pillar to see how we can use the information collected to understand what is happening in our environment today and how to troubleshoot the problems we experience tomorrow. We will share how to do this using various open source tools as well as using the Datadog platform.

Intro to k3s: Lightweight Kubernetes

Jul 10, 2019 By Rancher In Rancher
Ready to get some training on using K3s, the lightweight Kubernetes distribution?Earlier this year, Rancher Labs introduced k3s, a new open source project which is a lightweight implementation of Kubernetes that is easy to install and can run on x86 and ARM infrastructure with only 512 MB of RAM required to run it. It is geared towards teams that need to deploy applications quickly and reliably to resource-constrained environments. Some use cases for k3s are edge, Single Board Computers, IoT, and CI.

Announcing Preview Support for Istio

Jun 20, 2019 By Ankur Agarwal In Rancher

Today we are announcing support for Istio with Rancher 2.3 in Preview mode. Istio, and service mesh generally, has developed a huge amount of excitement in the Kubernetes ecosystem. Istio promises to add fault tolerance, canary rollouts, A/B testing, monitoring and metrics, tracing and observability, and authentication and authorization, eliminating the need for developers to instrument or write specific code to enable these capabilities.
