Many cloud infrastructure providers make deploying services as easy as a few clicks. However, making those services high availability (HA) is a different story. What happens to your service if your cloud provider has an Availability Zone (AZ) outage? Will your application still work, and more importantly, can you prove it will still work? In this blog, we'll discuss AZ redundancy with a focus on Kubernetes clusters.
Behind the trends of cloud-native architectures and microservices lies a technical complexity, a paradigm shift, and a rugged learning curve. This complexity manifests itself in the design, deployment, and security, as well as everything that concerns the monitoring and observability of applications running in distributed systems like Kubernetes. Fortunately, there are tools to help developers overcome these obstacles.
The report is so absurd and naive that it makes no sense to critique it in detail. - Kent Beck responding to the McKinsey Report. Luckily this was a hollow threat, because a few days later he and fellow blogger Gergely Orosz released a two part blog series critiquing not exactly Mckinsey's report but... any report that tried to put “effort based” metrics at the top of the list for things to track.
We are delighted to announce the release of a new version of Rancher Desktop. This release includes significant enhancements to features such as Deployment Profiles, mount types support, networking proxy configuration, and other important bug fixes.
Ten months have elapsed since we launched Harvester v1.1 back in October of last year. Harvester has since become an integral part of the Rancher platform, experiencing substantial growth within the community while gathering valuable user feedback along the way. Our dedicated team has been hard at work incorporating this feedback into our development process, and today, I am thrilled to introduce Harvester v1.2.0!
In recent years, microservices have emerged as a popular architectural pattern. Although these self-contained services offer greater flexibility, scalability, and maintainability compared to monolithic applications, they can be difficult to manage without dedicated tools. Kubernetes, a scalable platform for orchestrating containerized applications, can help navigate your microservices.
