KMC - Rancher and Terraform: Deploy and Manage Clusters as Code

Terraform provides declarative Infrastructure as Code (IaC) management for many platforms, including Rancher 2.x servers. When using the Rancher2 provider alongside of other Terraform providers many manual tasks can be automated and standardized. In addition, infrastructure can be unit tested as is common with other code, extending rapid iteration into the infrastructure layer.

Revealing the Secrets of Kubernetes Costs: You Can Now Perform a Kubernetes Cost Analysis with CloudZero

I was speaking with a VP of Engineering friend at last year’s KubeCon about how to pitch Kubernetes to the C-Suite. The benefits for innovation were clear - containerized microservices empowered her small teams to deliver more value, more rapidly. As is often the case with Boardroom discussions, though, the question of cost was always next. Sure, they want you to innovate - as long as it’s within the constraints of a budget! But cost discussions around Kubernetes can be difficult.

Deploy an Ingress Controller on K3s

Kubernetes provides a powerful networking model for microservices. One of the pillars of this model is that each pod has its own IP address and is directly addressable within the cluster. As a consequence, each Kubernetes cluster usually has a flat virtual network that external hosts can’t reach directly. That means routing traffic from clients outside the cluster to services deployed inside the cluster requires some additional work.
