Making Kubernetes Dev-Friendly with Komodor & Okteto

Kubernetes has become the software world’s infrastructure, leading to significant changes in application architecture and packaging. Despite the introduction of new technologies and practices, they have not kept pace with the rapid growth of the K8s ecosystem. As a result, developers who once solely focused on coding are now spending hours on operations, leading to a longer feedback loop during development. They’re expected to have an understanding of Kubernetes in order to do their jobs, causing a significant drop in productivity and leading to a poor dev experience.

How to Become a Faster and More Efficient Developer?

Nir Shtein, Software Engineer 6 min read March 30th, 2023 Komodor Tutorials As software developers, we always want to improve ourselves continuously. It can be through writing cleaner and more efficient code, using new design patterns, expanding our stack, or deep-diving into a specific technology. We strive to improve; we’re encouraged to do post-mortems with action items and to keep asking what went right and what went wrong.

Containerization 102 Security Optimization and Speed

We continue our series on containerization in this session, diving a bit deeper to discuss the key areas to ensure container optimization and speed, such as: What are the security ramifications of containers? How have platforms enabled the rise of containers and microservices? What challenges have been introduced by containers and platforms? What are some of the enhancements to networking, and why this improves the speed of delivery

Supercharging Your Amazon Investment With EKS And CloudZero

Kubernetes has been described as everything from “awesome!” to “I regret my life choices,” and with 84% of all Kubernetes cloud workloads running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), it should come as no surprise that AWS created Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to eliminate much of the undifferentiated heavy lifting it often takes to manage. What do companies like about Amazon EKS?

Best Practices for Effective Monitoring and Observability - Civo.com

In the first talk, "You're doing Observability wrong, breaking down the 3 pillars of observability," Matt Gibiec, Sr. Solutions Engineer at Dynatrace, will discuss the common misconceptions around observability and the importance of going beyond metrics, traces, and logs. He will break down the three pillars of observability and provide actionable insights into what is required to truly achieve observability in your systems.

Troubleshooting Application Issues with Extended Labels

Troubleshooting issues in Kubernetes can be tough. When diagnosing these problems, you can find yourself with tons of microservices to review. Sometimes you come across the root cause straight away, but when dealing with complex issues you may lose a lot of time going back and forth, and time is a precious asset when everything goes up in flames. Sysdig Agent leverages eBPF for granular telemetry.

Overcoming the Challenges of Managing Testing Environments on AWS

Software developers need controlled and isolated environments to try new features, bug fixes, and other changes before deploying them to production. This separation captures possible issues early, reducing the risk of live environment errors or performance issues. Teams can experiment with various configurations, tools, and technologies in test environments, fostering innovation and development.
