Rancher 2.5 Keeps Customers Free from Kubernetes Lock-in
Rancher Labs has launched its much-anticipated Rancher version 2.5 into the cloud-native space, and we at LSD couldn't be more excited. Before highlighting some of the new features, here is some context as to how we think Rancher is innovating. Kubernetes has become one of the most important technologies adopted by companies in their quest to modernize.
How we're using Mattermost Operator in Kubernetes to deploy our own environment
The Mattermost Operator framework manages Kubernetes resource configuration and streamlines lifecycle management, helping teams achieve their desired state without worrying about the steps it takes takes to get there. We use our Mattermost Kubernetes Operator to deploy Mattermost Community in a highly available environment. In this presentation, software design engineer Gabe Jackson shares a case study of Mattermost Kubernetes Operator at Mattermost and how we migrated our own Community server to Kubernetes Operator.
Running Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes from Azure Kubernetes Service
It's safe to say that It's safe to say that Kubernetes is the de facto standard for orchestrating containers and the applications running in them. As the standard, a variety of managed services and orchestration options are available to choose from. In this blog post, we're going to take a look at running the Elastic Stack on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) using Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK) as the operator.
Enabling Kubernetes multi-tenancy
When you have multiple teams interacting with a Kubernetes cluster you need to think about multi-tenancy: how to enable each team the access to the specific resources it needs, in a way that allows the team to be agile, without risking impacting other teams?
Take the Guesswork out of a Secure Kubernetes Deployment
As a Senior Solutions Engineer helping customers deploy cloud-native technologies, I have been using Docker and Rancher for more than five years. Heck, I even helped steer Rancher for offline use when it was the 0.19 release. I have loved the product and company for YEARS. We all know how complicated it is to set up Kubernetes, and customers love Rancher because it simplifies that rollout.
Using Mattermost Operator for Kubernetes to deploy our Community server
One of the key benefits of using Kubernetes is that it’s very flexible and fault tolerant. However, that also means that it has quite a lot of complexity to deal with. A well-built operator abstracts that complexity away and helps manage updates and upgrades seamlessly. The Mattermost Kubernetes operator is basically like having a Mattermost Cloud Engineer running inside your Kubernetes cluster managing Mattermost for you.

What Is Kubernetes: A Container Orchestration Platform
If you are a part of an engineering organization it is highly likely that you have heard the latest buzz words “containers”, “docker” and “kubernetes”. Today we will try to demystify these terms for you. Sit tight, it's going to be very interesting.
Hashicorp Waypoint vs Heroku: What is the best PaaS for your team?
This week, Hashicorp announced the launch of their new product - Waypoint - aiming to simplify the way developers build and run apps in the Cloud and on any platform (like Kubernetes).
