Automated Kubernetes Optimization with Helm
See how Helm can be used to automatically configure the optimal resource specification for each Kubernetes (K8s) container, whenever an application is installed or upgraded.

From lightweight to featherweight: MicroK8s memory optimisation
If you’re a developer, a DevOps engineer or just a person fascinated by the unprecedented growth of Kubernetes, you’ve probably scratched your head about how to get started. MicroK8s is the simplest way to do so. Canonical’s lightweight Kubernetes distribution started back in 2018 as a quick and simple way for people to consume K8s services and essential tools.
Multi-instance GPU (MIG) with MicroK8s on NVIDIA A100 GPU
Although Kubernetes revolutionised the software life cycle, its steep learning curve still discourages many users from adopting it. MicroK8s is a production-grade, low-touch Kubernetes that abstracts the complexity and can address use cases from workstations to clouds to the edge. We’ll highlight the details of MicroK8s’ simplicity and robustness and demonstrate the different usage scenarios, running it on NVIDIA DGX, EGX, DPU and Jetson hardware using real applications from NVIDIA marketplace.
Kubernetes Master Class - How to Update Monitoring After Upgrading to Rancher 2.5
Rancher 2.5 introduces a new, improved monitoring integration. It is still based on Prometheus, Grafana and Alertmanager, but much more flexible regarding configuration options and customizations. It also directly ships with much improved dashboards and alerting rules. Unfortunately, due to the necessary internal changes, there is no automatic upgrade path available from the old to the new monitoring. While you can continue to use the old monitoring with 2.5, there are some manual migration steps necessary to get all the benefits from the new monitoring system and keep all the configurations and customizations from the old one.
A Guide to Kubernetes Certifications
In an age of virtualization and cloud computing, developers increasingly use Kubernetes’ open-source platform to manage containerized workloads and services. Kubernetes container became popular because it was impossible to define a resource boundary for multiple applications in a traditional CPU environment. Misuse of resources created an inefficient environment.

Kubei walk-through: A Kubernetes Runtime Vulnerabilities Scanner - Milind Chawre
Kubei is a vulnerabilities scanning and CIS Docker benchmark tool that allows users to get an accurate and immediate risk assessment of their kubernetes clusters.
Unveil hidden malicious processes with Falco in cloud-native environments
Detecting malicious processes is already complicated in cloud-native environments, as without the proper tools they are black boxes. It becomes even more complicated if those malicious processes are hidden. A malware using open source tools to evade detection has been reported. The open source project used by the malware is libprocesshider, a tool created by Sysdig’s former chief architect Gianluca.
Kubeflow portability
In this demo, we explore the portability of the popular AI/ML platform, kubeflow. We deploy two Kubernetes clusters with GPU capabilities: one on AKS, and one on Charmed Kubernetes deployed on AWS machines. Using the same commands and scripts, we deploy a Charmed kubeflow cluster on each of the two K8s clusters.
Funding update: $840k secured and more to come
As with all start-ups, especially for a cloud provider, access to funds is imperative to build and scale quickly – after all building out new data centre regions doesn't come cheap! So in recent months we quietly opened a seed round to acquire $2.8m worth of funding – giving Civo a pre-money valuation of $16,800,000. Since launching into beta nearly 2 years ago, we’ve had tons of VC companies knocking on our door, but at this stage we decided not to take VC money.
