CPU vs GPU: What's the Difference?

If you've ever delved into the intricacies of PC building or taken your first steps in an introductory Computer Science class, chances are you've encountered the ubiquitous term – GPU. For many gaming enthusiasts, myself included, GPUs are the magic component that gives you more frames in your favorite FPS game, while CPUs are the component where our code finds its execution space.

Users Outgrowing Docker Swarm Look To Cycle for Familiar Feel

Docker has a storied history of being one of the most widely used developer toolings of all time. In the early days of containers, it was the only thing being used for local container development, and their contributions will be forever remembered as a major factor in the speed at which container technology was adopted. Docker also created a container orchestration platform called Docker Swarm.

Future Trends In Kubernetes Cost Management: What To Expect

Kubernetes has emerged as a pivotal force in shaping modern cloud infrastructure. Originating as a brainchild of Google, Kubernetes has evolved into an open-source platform that has revolutionized how applications are deployed, scaled, and managed across a vast network of machines. Its ability to orchestrate containerized applications efficiently makes it an indispensable tool within cloud computing. However, with great power comes great responsibility, particularly in the realm of cost management.

How NeuVector Leverages eBPF to Improve Observability and Security

There’s been a lot of recent interest in eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) and its application for container security solutions. Let’s examine eBPF’s features and benefits and how NeuVector utilizes them to enhance its full-lifecycle container security solution.

Rancher Live: The legal aspects of open source

Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies have become widely adopted in the last decade, making them ubiquitous. This has significantly contributed to the open-source movement and highlighted the importance of policymaking in the successful adoption and sustainability of the ecosystem. However, understanding and navigating the complex legal landscape on the path to production can be challenging, particularly for developers seeking to understand the ecosystem. That’s why, in this episode of Rancher Live, we will take a slight detour from talking tech to deconstructing some key policy issues associated with open-source software with OpenUK's CEO, Amanda Brock.

Containerization and DevOps Optimizing Deployment with Docker and Kubernetes

DevOps practices have revolutionized how teams build, test, deploy, and manage applications, enabling rapid delivery without compromising quality. Central to this paradigm shift are containerization technologies like Docker and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes. In this article, we’ll explore how containerization and DevOps intersect, and how leveraging Docker and Kubernetes can optimize deployment processes.

Kubernetes CronJob: Complete Guide to CronJobs

Kubernetes CronJobs are a feature that lets you automate tasks in a Kubernetes cluster. They let you schedule and run jobs on a regular basis, making them good for tasks like data backups, database maintenance, log rotation, and more. CronJobs help make operations easier and reduce manual work, letting you focus on other important parts of your application. In this guide, we will explain what CronJobs are and how they are different from regular Kubernetes Jobs.

How to find Kubernetes reliability risks with Gremlin

Part of the Gremlin Office Hours series: A monthly deep dive with Gremlin experts. Most Kubernetes clusters have reliability risks lurking just below the surface. You could spend hours or even days manually finding these risks, but what if someone could find them for you? With Detected Risks, Gremlin automates the work involved in finding and tracking reliability risks across your Kubernetes clusters. Surface failed Pods, mismatched image versions, missing resource definitions, and single points of failure, all without having to run a single test.
