Outages don't care how many zones you have. Power failures, software updates, and backbone disruptions all have one thing in common: they do not respect architecture diagrams. Redundancy only works if it is designed at the correct layer. Every team believes they are covered, and yet, when something breaks, the failure reveals that what looked like protection was only an illusion.

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, but monitoring a Kubernetes cluster can be challenging. In this guide, we’ll walk through the essential steps to set up effective monitoring for your Kubernetes infrastructure.

The third Civo Navigate London event has come to an end - and as you might be able to tell, this was an extra special one with some big changes for Civo First, a huge thank‑you to our amazing sponsors, attendees, speakers for making this event possible.

As some of you might have already noticed, we recently gave our official Icinga 2 container image builds a complete overhaul. These new images are currently available only as snapshot builds but will replace the existing stable images with the next Icinga 2 v2.16.0 release. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the key changes and improvements that come with the new images, as well as the reasons behind these changes.

If you’re running Calico using manifests, you may have found that enabling the observability features introduced in version 3.30, including Whisker and Goldmane, requires a more hands-on approach. Earlier documentation focused on the Tigera operator, which automates key tasks such as certificate management and secure service configuration. In a manifest-based setup, these responsibilities shift to the user.

If you could run public and private cloud like they were the same place, what would that unlock for your teams? That was the core message of our Navigate London keynote, and it matters just as much to readers in Singapore or Seattle as it does to those who joined us in person. For years, the industry has made you choose. Public cloud on one track. Private cloud on another. Different APIs, different skills, different bills, and a rewrite every time you move.
