Kubecon EU returned to Spain. This time to Valencia, city of paella and horchata and, of course, a great place for big events. We had a great time meeting you all in person, and attending the talks. Here are our hot takes from the event. The main event started on Wednesday, but before that different co-located events took place: Ebpf Day, Cloud Native SecurityCon, and PrometheusDay among others. These events gathered a large number of attendees.
Optimizing Kubernetes costs isn’t an easy task. Kubernetes is as deep a topic as cloud (and even more complex), containing subtopics like: That’s a lot for a busy DevOps team to understand and manage, and doesn’t even consider that line-of-business stakeholders and finance team members should have some understanding of each cost driver’s function and importance to contribute to a successful FinOps Strategy.
As the complexity of Kubernetes environments grow, costs can quickly spiral out of control if an effective strategy for optimization is not in place. We’ve compiled expert recommendations and best practices for running cost-optimized Kubernetes workloads on AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud (GCP).
Helm is a package manager that makes it easy to deploy and manage Kubernetes applications. Our new Helm integration allows you to monitor the availability and status of the Helm-managed applications deployed in your Kubernetes clusters. In this post, we’ll show you how you can visualize the status of your Helm releases and use monitors to notify you of important changes in your Helm environment.
We have been busy at work in May creating new features and squashing bugs to delight those who use or have not yet started using Kubernetes. Finally, you can start finding Shipa back at in-person events, we just returned from Southern California at JFrog swampUP. We had many great conversations about what we have been working on, especially announcing the general availability of Shipa Insights, today!
The recent market turmoil has everyone from developers to CTOs and founders asking themselves a fundamental question “Is our cloud-deployment strategy recession proofs, and if not, how can we adapt to the new market realities?” Within enterprises of all sizes, leaders are asking hard questions, looking for ways to cut costs without negatively impacting growth.
Kubernetes is currently the de-facto container orchestration system on the market. Both small and large companies adopt it, and all major cloud providers offer it as a service. However, Kubernetes is a complex and layered platform, so you can’t just jump into it. There are three essential stages for each application: design, deployment, and operation. This blog post will focus on operation, where you need to monitor and troubleshoot your deployed applications.
