Rio: Revolutionizing the Way You Deploy Applications

This week at KubeCon in San Diego, Rancher Labs announced the beta of Rio, the application deployment engine for Kubernetes. Originally announced in May of this year, the latest release is version v0.6.0. Rio combines several cloud-native technologies to simplify the process of taking code from the developer’s workstation to the production environment, while ensuring a robust and secure code deployment experience.

Why K3s Is the Future of Kubernetes at the Edge

By next year the number of connected devices will exceed 20 billion. The vast majority of these devices run on Arm architecture, increasingly at the infrastructure edge. With this growth in mind, the need for an agile, Arm-based development methodology has become increasingly urgent. Arm Neoverse provides the required IP for building the next gen of edge to cloud infrastructure to support the data explosion we are seeing, primarily caused by IoT.

KubeCon 2019: Elastic Doubles Down on Observability and Orchestration for Kubernetes

As users adopt Kubernetes, Elastic products move fast to support their evolving needs. Whether you are trying to run Elasticsearch workloads to Kubernetes or want to gain better visibility into container workloads running across different environments, we are doubling down on building cloud native tools to support these efforts. This blog covers recent advancements to support Kubernetes initiatives:

Kubernetes 101

The appeal of running workloads in containers is intuitive and there are numerous reasons to do so. Shipping a process with its dependencies in a package that’s able to just run reduces the friction of organizational communication and operation. Relative to virtual machines, the size, simplicity, and reduced overhead of containers make a compelling case.
