What is Kubernetes Pod QoS?

Container orchestration, Kubernetes has emerged as a leading platform for managing and deploying containerized applications. One fundamental concept that plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal performance is the Quality of Service (QoS). In the realm of Kubernetes, this concept is applied at the level of Pods, forming the backbone of resource management within the cluster.

What is iteration?

In Agile development, where development is repeated in short periods, the key unit of the development cycle is called an iteration. Iterations, consisting of Design, Development, Testing, and Improvement are usually set for 1 to 4 weeks, and they are characterized by completing a full cycle of system development. After completing one cycle and releasing it, known as Iteration 1, the process is repeated with Iteration 2, Iteration 3, and so on.the.

The 50 Best CI/CD Tools All DevOps Teams Should Know In 2024

The modern software development lifecycle comprises two key phases: continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery or deployment (CD). In both stages, automation reduces manual labor, minimizing human errors. That enables DevOps teams to focus on mission-critical work instead of continually fixing mistakes. Automating CI/CD also provides a check and balance system for rolling back errors. Aside from ensuring optimal system performance, this also improves other areas, like security and compliance.

MyJFrog Portal: The Solution for Managing Your JFrog Cloud Subscription

MyJFrog is a central management portal for JFrog Platform users and administrators. It provides a single, centralized view to manage and monitor users, subscriptions, resources, and usage.

Now, we’re helping our users scale software delivery across environments.

Build and test LLM applications with AIConfig and CircleCI

The power of LLMs to solve real-world problems is undeniable, but unfortunately, in some cases, only theoretical. What’s stopping us from getting the most out of OpenAI’s text completion capabilities in production apps? One common problem is the inability to confidently guard against bad outputs in production the way we’re used to doing with non-AI test suites. Let’s go one step deeper. There is no equivalent of code coverage for an LLM.

Progressive Delivery for Stateful Services Using Argo Rollouts

Progressive delivery is an advanced deployment method that allows you to gradually shift production traffic to a new version with zero downtime. Argo Rollouts is a Kubernetes controller that enables you to perform progressive deployments such as blue/green and canaries on your Kubernetes cluster. At Codefresh, we love Argo Rollouts and have covered several use cases so far such as smoke tests, metrics, config-maps and even performing deployments for multiple microservices.
