Having trouble deploying Kubernetes in a highly available mode and have a backing remote database? This blog is for you. I will explain how to deploy K3s in HA configuration with an external database Postgres. K3s is a certified Kubernetes distribution for IoT and Edge computing. I deployed it on virtual machines in an IBM Z mainframe. Instead of etcd, I choose Postgres as my storage for my K3s clusters. I deployed Postgres in non HA mode.
It is an exciting time to be a startup. Our vast technological landscape has made powerful digital tools available to businesses of all sizes, making starting (and scaling) an organization easier than ever before. In an era where technology is a fundamental building block of almost every business, methodologies like DevOps have become ubiquitous across many industries.
To keep ahead of the curve, many organizations are looking at how to evolve their technical processes to accelerate their IT infrastructure development. Fast and robust deployments to the latest platforms are key to achieving the low lead times that enable this evolution. Two of the most widely-used technologies to host these deployments are serverless functions and containers. What are they, how do they differ, and how do you decide which is best for your application?
Yep, you read that right, THE fastest. Like the Usain Bolt of check rates, just without the Olympic gold medal to back it up (but it’s safe to say that if there was a gold medal for quickest check rates, we would win gold). So what does this actually mean? It means that your website will be checked almost constantly; every 30 seconds depending on the plan that you pick.
