The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
Depending if you are in the Northern Hemisphere, Spring is upon us. We have been busy at Shipa democratizing developer experience for all and making Kubernetes an afterthought. Grateful for all the community and customer feedback helping us make Shipa better. If you have an idea, check out our new Idea Portal where you can your own ideas. Let’s take a look at what we have delivered in the last pair of sprints.
The DevOps and Platform Engineering space certainly is one that evolves fast. As new development paradigms get consumed, supporting the development pipeline is crucial. Pushing a public release of v0.2.x on March 30th, 2022, Dagger, from the creators of Docker, is another approach in portability and consistency in CI/CD pipelines. What the Docker Container has done applications, Dagger is hoping to achieve that with CI/CD pipelines.

This is especially true in an enterprise context where the software release cycles typically consist of separate compute environments like dev, stage and production. These environments are usually distinguished by data that drives the specific behavior of the application.
In previous blog posts, my colleagues and I have introduced and explored the Calico eBPF data plane in detail, including learning how to validate that it is configured and running correctly. If you have the time, those are still a great read; you could dive in with the Calico eBPF Data Plane Deep-Dive.
