Civo Update - July 2022

In June, we hosted our online meetup with ContainIQ surrounding k8s monitoring and observability. You can catch up on the discussion between Matthew Lenhard (Co-founder & CTO of ContainIQ) and Kai Hoffman (Developer Advocate at Civo) here if you missed it. Meanwhile, Kamesh Sampath from our Developer Advocate demo program explains how Civo’s speed and developer experience is great to work with in our latest Civo Shorts.

Kubernetes management with Portainer and Civo

For our upcoming meetup, we'll be joined by Portainer to look into how the container management platform can help simplify day-to-day Kubernetes management. In this session, Saiyam Pathak, Director of Technical Evangelism at Civo will discuss various Kubernetes dashboards that can be used to view the cluster and its related metrics and discuss the benefits of each. Saiyam will also look into the Kubernetes dashboard, Skooner, Headlamp, lens, and octant.

The cost of cloud: 5 takeaways

Earlier this year we released our report on the cost of cloud. Through this white paper we discovered the complexities of cloud costs for businesses and alternatives beyond the hyperscalers. This white paper saw 1,000 cloud developers surveyed about the management of their cloud services, and the degree of costs associated with it. From this analysis, we were able to come up with 5 key takeaways outlining the degree to which hyperscalers are overpromising and under-delivering.

In this webinar, we will explain what Kubernetes events are, how to use them, and tools that can be used to get the most out of them.

Introduction to Cloud-native Monitoring and Observability - Civo

Our applications and infrastructure provide us with vast amounts of data about their performance. To gain control over this amount of data, we must process it to be useful information. This information can offer you insights into where your application could be performing better, with more efficiency, or with fewer errors. Your insights can only be as good as the data you gather and how you organize it. More is not (always) better - this is where observability comes in.

Everything you need to know about cloud-native

Cloud technology, and applications running in the cloud, are becoming more and more common. With this rise in cloud computing, application development has needed to change as well, resulting in what can be called the cloud-native approach to software development. In this article, you will learn all about cloud-native technology and how cloud-native companies approach building their applications.
