On-Demand Webinar: Extending Your Fortigate Next-Gen Firewall to Kubernetes

Companies are leveraging the power of Kubernetes to accelerate the delivery of resilient and scalable applications to meet the pace of business. These applications are highly dynamic, making it operationally challenging to securely connect to databases or other resources protected behind firewalls. Tigera and Fortinet have joined forces to solve this operational challenge. With the combination of FortiGate Next-Gen firewalls and Calico Enterprise, you gain full visibility into the container environment and can define fine-grained policies to determine which Kubernetes workloads are allowed to talk to the enterprise’s crown jewels running outside the Kubernetes cluster.

Qovery and the Twelve-Factor App methodology

The Twelve-Factor App methodology is a methodology for building platform-agnostic and resilient applications. It was introduced by Adam Wiggins while working at Heroku in 2011. Nearly 10 years later, this methodology is still considered by the developer community as an excellent practice to follow when building an application. In this article, we will see step by step how Qovery respects and improves the 12-factor methodology. Here we go.

KMC - Hands On with K3s Support in Rancher 2.4 - 2020-06-16

K3s, the lightweight- certified Kubernetes distribution created by Rancher Labs, has become a popular choise for IoT and edge computing. But Rancher users have been asking for tighter integration between Rancher Server and K3s. With Rancher 2.4, new Rancher HA installations can be installed on K3s clusters with external SQL databases. This setup simplifies cluster administration with no need to operate etcd. Management of the database can be offloaded to hosted solutions like RDS running MySQL. In this Kubernetes Master Class, Rancher Software Engineers will discuss and demo the new K3s support in Rancher, review use cases and best practices.

Originally created by Rancher as an open source project in 2017, Longhorn was donated to the CNCF in 2019 as a sandbox project. On May 28, Longhorn will reach ‘General Availability’ status, providing the cloud-native ecosystem with lightweight and reliable persistent storage solution for Kubernetes.

New command line client, back to Go!

It feels like a lifetime ago, well, 3 years is a lifetime in tech, that I wrote a blog post explaining how we rewrote our API server from Golang to Ruby on Rails.

However, with only me knowing Golang on the team, we weren't able to achieve the velocity and pace of adding features within the CLI as I'd like.
