New 'Pod Status and Logs' Dash Saves Time and Unifies Execution

Time is invaluable. Besides being one of those can’t-argue-with universal truths, this is also one of the guiding principles behind Komodor; the promise behind our ‘troubleshooting efficiently and independently’ motto. ‘Pods Status and Logs’ is the latest of our timesaving features that enables you to quickly drill down in the pods of an unhealthy service, all from the comfort of your Komodor dashboard.

How to Troubleshoot Kubernetes with Confidence - 2021 Cloud-Native Days Summit

We recently attended the 2021 Cloud-Native Days Summit, where our co-founding CEO Ben Ofiri gave a lightning round talk on How to Troubleshoot Kubernetes With Confidence. In case you missed it, here’s a recording and transcript for your convenience.

The More the Merrier: Multi-Arch Docker Manifests with Buildx and Artifactory

The cloud native promise to be able to “build once, deploy anywhere” is nearly fulfilled. With containerization and Docker , we can build our applications and services for any environment, and set configuration at runtime. Well,… almost. Operating systems and apps still need to be compiled to execute on specific architecture types. Your software that’s been compiled for an AMD64 processor can’t run on an ARM-based machine, nor can one built for Linux run on Windows.

Kubernetes monitoring with Sysdig

Kubernetes has multiple moving pieces that you need to monitor, such as the elements that make up the Control Plane. As your clusters grow, collecting metrics from all the Kubernetes sources becomes highly tedious. Comprehensive monitoring for Kubernetes reduces the operational complexity by providing the visibility you need to: Sysdig Monitor offers an out-of-the-box user experience for monitoring your Kubernetes environment, including pre-built dashboards and a comprehensive alerts library that you can use right away.

Watch Kamesh Sampath (Field Engineer, Solo.io) discuss Gloo Edge, Gateway API and API management on Kubernetes. Gloo Edge is a cloud-native API Gateway and Ingress Controller built on Envoy Proxy to facilitate and secure application traffic at the edge. Here we have covered the management and deployment if your API gateway with Gloo, and share how to set up and manage your APIs in less than 3 minutes!

Adding a Developer Portal to FluxCD

The idea to fully manage applications and infrastructure using a Git-based workflow, or GitOps, is gaining a lot of traction recently. We are seeing more and more Shipa users adopting GitOps as the cloud-native deployment methodology. While it is no secret that ArgoCD and FluxCD are by far the most used tools today, we see FluxCD users trying to address the challenges below.

The Essential Guide to Kubernetes Service Discovery

A fundamental element of the Kubernetes microservices system is the services model, which gives teams greater understanding of how their applications are deployed. These objects running within pods and containers, by extension, are RESTful since they’re based on APIs. However, DevOps teams can’t hope to run a tight ship without managing their services. Communication and visibility are absolutely crucial in a Kubernetes system.
