In case you missed the big news, after almost two years in beta and early access phases, Civo is now general availability! Find out what this means for Civo and the future of the platform over at our blog. We've also launched the first-ever Civo Hackathon! This is an initiative to bring together developers, architects, experts, and students from across the globe to develop innovative Kubernetes projects on Civo.

KubeCon/CloudNativeCon North America 2021 was a whirlwind of sessions, talks, panels, bonding, and learning. As it was a hybrid event, Civo was represented both in person at a booth that featured Sophia and David from our North American team, as well as virtually through our online booth and talks. Plus, we made an announcement of the General Availability of Civo Kubernetes at the event!

Observability has gained a lot of momentum and is now rightly a central component of the microservices landscape: It’s an important part of the cloud native world where you may have many microservices deployed on a production Kubernetes cluster, and a need to monitor these microservices keeps rising. In production, quickly finding failures and fixing them is crucial. As the name suggests, observability plays an important role in this failure discovery.
