The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
When traffic increases, we need to have a way to scale our application to keep up with user demand. With Kubernetes multi-cluster management through Rancher, scaling has never been easier and more efficient. Read here about scaling Kubernetes and the challenges you might be facing when managing a hybrid cloud environment.
In the past, applications would be deployed by installation on a host, using the operating system package manager. This was a heavy solution with tremendous reliance on the operating system package manager and increased complexity with libraries, configuration, executables and so on all interconnected. Then came containers. Containers are small and fast, and are isolated from each other and from the host.
Kubernetes is an open-source container-orchestration system for automating application deployment, scaling, and management. It was originally designed by Google, and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
Security is a key consideration for any organization seeking to standardize and scale their cloud-native platforms. Falco, the behavioral activity monitoring tool from Sysdig, is becoming a popular option for open source container runtime security on cloud-native platforms built using Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry, and OpenShift.
A couple weeks ago, we released the Helm chart and docker images so you could install StackStorm Enterprise HA cluster in Kubernetes. Today, we’re glad to announce that the Community free and open source edition of StackStorm HA is now available, too!
