CircleCI has released new Arm-based compute in preview. Arm processors and architectures are becoming widely available as development teams adopt them as compute nodes in many application infrastructures. Organizations that need to run microservices, application servers, databases, and other workloads in a cost-effective way will continue to turn to the Arm architecture.

This hands-on Flux tutorial explores how Flux can be used at the end of your continuous integration pipeline to deploy your applications to Kubernetes clusters.

Apache Cordova, since its release in 2009, has created a paradigm shift for mobile application development. Before Cordova, only developers who knew platform dedicated languages for a particular type of mobile operating system could develop native mobile applications. There was Objective-C for developing iOS apps, or Java for Android apps and platforms like Blackberry. Windows Phone also had languages dedicated to building their mobile applications.

Software development by distributed teams is nothing new. But since 2020, it’s no longer just teams that are globally dispersed, it is the individual team members themselves. Remote working is the new normal. So in this unpredictable, “modern” world we’re in, how do you put together a solution that delivers for every single team member, no matter their location?

Argo Rollouts is a progressive delivery controller created for Kubernetes. It allows you to deploy your application with minimal/zero downtime by adopting a gradual way of deploying instead of taking an “all at once” approach.

March 1, 2020, was a Sunday. I was getting ready for a work trip to San Francisco. Just before heading to the Berlin airport, I checked my phone. There was a text from my boss: Hey Lena, trying all channels. Don’t fly. I didn’t fly that day and I haven’t flown since. Two days later, as planned, I went from interim to permanent VP of Product Engineering at CircleCI. At the same time, Europe was going into lockdown, then the world went into lockdown.

Wouldn’t it be handy to quickly spin up a Kubernetes cluster for CI testing, on-demand? Interested? If so, read on! Here at Codefresh, many of our customers develop Kubernetes-native applications. A common CI task is to create a Kubernetes cluster to test out deployment processes and integrations. Often, such tests can be greatly simplified if this cluster is ephemeral – that is, it is created on-demand for each build of a test pipeline.
