Blue Matador is Alert Automation for your Cloud Infrastructure
Every innovative team has two competing interests: rapid feature development and production stability. Blue Matador enables the best of both worlds, where time-strapped developers and DevOps teams only get notified of actionable events that threaten production. See how it works with this demo from our Founder and CEO Matthew Barlocker.
Cloud-native security with OpenShift and Sysdig Secure
Lack of container visibility can create a security gap for dynamic microservices. Thankfully OpenShift security has boosted confidence in using containers. By pairing Sysdig Secure with OpenShift, you can take your cloud-native security to the next level.
The Datadog IPO: An Analysis of Datadog's Future.
Datadog’s rapid growth illustrates a couple of key industry themes: First, growth in cloud applications continues at an unprecedented rate, and second, cloud applications require enterprises to rethink existing tools for visibility. Most significantly, the fact that Datadog has grown rapidly even as traditional monitoring companies have floundered, is a clear illustration of how companies built for a cloud era will disrupt those that were built for an on-premises era.
Expanding SQL Server Support
Support for relational databases is a growing focus for Kubernetes users, and the release of Windows Server 2019 is expanding options for .NET applications and SQL Server. SQL Server workloads, however, often rely on Active Directory and Windows Auth, and storage arrays, which will not be supported by SQL Server containers on Windows Server 2019. Fortunately, a new Rancher Labs partner, Windocks, offers new options for SQL Server on Kubernetes and Rancher.
Kubernetes Master Class Day 2 with Stateful Applications - Implementing a Data Management Strategy
As teams start to onboard mission-critical applications such as databases and NoSQL systems into production, there’s a need to address critical Day 2 concerns. Dealing with regulatory requirements, user error, ransomware and cluster upgrades - requires safeguarding of both data and state. In this master class, we'll describe the challenges associated with implementing a robust data management strategy with Kasten's K10 platform and Rancher's RKE.
Easy Ingress Management on the Edge with K3s lightweight Kubernetes and Traefik
K3s and Traefik are partnering to speed up cloud native applications deployment. K3s, by Rancher, is the best way to have a lightweight, fully CNCF conformant Kubernetes cluster running on diverse infrastructures, including possible IoT appliances such as Raspberry Pis. K3s starts in seconds thanks to its light weight nature. As it adds some components to the cluster automatically, k3s is very easy to use and therefore very accessible for new users.
What's new in Kubernetes 1.16?
Kubernetes 1.16 is almost here and it’s packed with cool new features, like ephemeral containers for easy pod debugging, support for dual-stack network in pods, many new options for the scheduler… And we are just getting started! Here is the list of what’s new in Kubernetes 1.16.
#KUBE100 is here!
After many months of feverishly working behind the scenes, we’re beyond excited to announce that the #KUBE100 beta program is live. #KUBE100 is the name of the beta program for the Civo Kubernetes service. What makes it unique is that it’s the first k3s-powered managed Kubernetes service on the market. Here's a little more insight into what we want to achieve with #KUBE100, from our CTO, Andy.
Challenges of Monitoring and Troubleshooting in Kubernetes Environments
Kubernetes is great but complex! Whether to enable hybrid and multi-cloud, promote deeper specialization among development teams, enhance reliability, or simply stay ahead of the curve, organizations are reaping the varied benefits of this technology investment— but it comes at a cost. With each optimization, there are tradeoffs. With each layer of abstraction comes less visibility, resulting in more complexity when something goes wrong.
