The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
Today, Kubernetes 1.23 release candidate was made available upstream for testing and experimentation. General availability is planned for December 7th, so now is the time to report back any issues or bugs. Developers, DevOps and open source software enthusiasts can try out the latest features using MicroK8s. MicroK8s is a lightweight, CNCF-certified Kubernetes distribution with a streamlined UX.
Kubernetes management can be daunting for developers who don’t have specialized understanding of the orchestration technology. Learning Kubernetes takes practice and time, a precious commodity for devs who are under pressure to deliver new applications. This post provides direction on what you need to know and what you can skip to take advantage of Kubernetes. Let’s start with five things you need to know.
Welcome to a new update of “What’s new in Sysdig.” Happy All Saints’/Souls’ Day! Happy International Pianist Day! Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Diwali! Glad alla helgons dag. The “What’s new in Sysdig” blog has been rotated to a new team, and this month, Peter Andersson is responsible for the publishing. Thanks to Chris Kranz for an excellent job compiling these articles earlier.
A single Kubernetes cluster expends a small percentage of its total available assigned resources on delivering in-cluster networking. We don’t have to be satisfied with this, though—achieving the lowest possible overhead can provide significant cost savings and performance improvements if you are running network-intensive workloads.
If GitHub stars are any indication, Prometheus has been doubling in usage year over year since its inception. While at Moogsoft we love Prometheus as the metrics foundation of our observability platform, there were some challenges to overcome to make it the rock-solid piece of our stack it is today.
Kubernetes dominates the container orchestration market in every way. According to the latest State of Kubernetes and Container Security study, 88% of enterprises utilise Kubernetes to manage a portion of their container workloads. Kubernetes and other orchestration systems have given software deployment and management a new level of robustness and customization. They also brought attention to the current security landscape's shortcomings.
Making an Open Source Software with sensitive data and dozens of external integrations is a real challenge, here are feedbacks and tradeoffs we've made.
Back in May, we announced the Kubernetes integration to help users easily monitor and alert on core Kubernetes cluster metrics using the Grafana Agent, our lightweight observability data collector optimized for sending metric, log, and trace data to Grafana Cloud. Since then, we’ve made some improvements to help our customers go even further.
