The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
In this post, we will outline a reference architecture for setting up K3s in a High Availability (HA) configuration. This means that your K3s cluster can tolerate a failure and remain up and running and serving traffic to your users. Your applications should also be built and configured for high availability, but that is beyond the scope of this tutorial. K3s is a lightweight certified Kubernetes distribution developed at Rancher Labs that built is for IoT and edge computing.
According to leading independent researchers teknowlogy | PAC, open source platforms – and Kubernetes in particular – are central to the future of digital factories. The PAC RADAR report offers a detailed market analysis of industrial digitalisation trends, and it predicts that Kubernetes-based platforms that bring together edge and cloud technologies will soon dominate the digital factory landscape.
Today, every company is a software company and digital business is a core strategy for many organizations. To gain the much-needed agility and efficient scalability, companies in all verticals are modernizing their infrastructure by moving to hybrid, multicloud and cloud-native environments. Realizing that modern applications run on modern infrastructure, IT leaders are prioritizing infrastructure modernization initiatives.
The way we write, ship, and maintain software today has evolved drastically in the last few years. How we consume underlying infrastructure to run our software has matured significantly, in that we have seen a transition from bare metal to virtual machines to containers to micro-VMs.
Qovery is excited to announce that we are now a silver member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and Linux Foundation (LF). As a CNCF silver member, we are looking forward to contributing to CNCF projects and playing an active role in developing the cloud-native ecosystem. Qovery also recently makes is deployment engine open-source, an abstraction layer library that turns easy apps deployment on AWS, GCP, Azure, and other Cloud providers.
As Kubernetes continues to establish itself as the industry standard for container orchestration, finding effective ways to use a declarative model for your applications and tools is critical to success. In this blog, we’ll set up a K3s Kubernetes cluster in AWS, then implement secure GitOps using ArgoCD and Vault. Check out the source for the infrastructure and the Kubernetes umbrella application here.
We’re excited to announce that Calico Enterprise, the leading solution for Kubernetes networking, security and observability in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, now includes encryption for data-in-transit.
