Using Calico with Kubespray

In the Kubernetes ecosystem there are a variety of ways for you to provision your cluster, and which one you choose generally depends on how well it integrates with your existing knowledge or your organization’s established tools. Kubespray is a tool built using Ansible playbooks, inventories, and variable files—and also includes supplemental tooling such as Terraform examples for provisioning infrastructure.

Code with Codespaces and deploy with Qovery

12 years ago, when I started to work as a Developer, I would not have bet that I will write software and manage infrastructure right from my browser one day. At the time, web IDE did not exist. And managing infrastructure from the browser was super early. Today, it is all possible, and the future looks bright! I am proud to announce that you can edit your code via GitHub Codespaces right from Qovery. Take a look at this short introduction video. Happy coding!

Ship Logs from Docker with the Logz.io Fluentd Proxy

The past year has been significant for continued development of both DevOps practices and new developments across the open source community. To that end, Logz.io is moving forward with renewed support for the Fluentd log shipper. This new proxy will serve as an alternative to Filebeat and Logstash, which recently moved away from open source licensing. Additionally, this integration utilizes an HTTP proxy instead of the SOCKS5 proxy necessary for Filebeat.

Gloo Edge - A simple way to manage API on Kubernetes - Civo Online Meetup #11

Join us as Civo's own Saiyam Pathak alongside Kamesh Sampath (Field Engineer, Solo.io) will be discussing Gloo Edge, Gateway API and API management on Kubernetes.

Kubernetes in 2021: Where does the industry go next?

As software code complexity and volume increases, businesses are flocking to containerization as a scalable solution to accelerate development of new applications. At Civo, we are always led by the community. We are firm believers in making sure that the voices of developers are always heard, and that they should shape how Kubernetes continues to evolve. To that end, we recently undertook some research to better understand cloud developers’ opinions about Kubernetes and containers, particularly what factors were encouraging or discouraging its use across the enterprise.

No pain... More gain! Sysdig Monitor radically simplifies monitoring integrations based on open source

Monitoring services and applications in just a few clicks – that’s the dream of every SRE and developer, but this is very difficult because most applications don’t expose metrics in a standardized format. This article will introduce the current pros and cons of the Prometheus exporters ecosystem and how we leveraged the power of the open-source exporters in Sysdig to radically simplify the user experience to allow you to monitor your applications in just a few clicks.

Monitoring Pi-hole: Having your Raspberry Pi, and eating it with Prometheus remote write!

Last year we cooked a holiday ham using Sysdig. Honestly, just revisiting that makes me hungry, but it got me thinking. What about dessert? Today, I’d like to discuss baking a pie and eating it with Prometheus Remote Write. But not just any pie: a Raspberry Pi. Specifically, I’d like to introduce you to Pi-hole, an open-source project that has become very popular in the community. In this article you’ll learn how easy is Monitoring Pi-hole with Prometheus Remote Write.
