Your Guide to Kubernetes Air-Gapping Success

Military and intelligence agencies, hospitals and corporations all deploy air-gapped environments to protect their sensitive information from breaches and theft. An air-gapped environment aims to isolate and limit access to classified and sensitive data. An air-gapped environment can be as simple as five PCs in a room connected only to one another, whereas air-gapped environments like the U.S.

[Product Klip] Application View

Guy Menahem, our resident Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Ambassador, showcases Komodor's brand new dashboard for developers! The dashboard takes an app-centric approach, which provides devs with a single, unified view of their workloads even if they're running on multiple clusters or clouds. It reduces noise for devs, and allows them to focus on the metrics and KPIs that matter to them, which enables devs to finally own their apps end-to-end and stop relying on DevOps and Platform teams.

Merging to Main #4: Feature Flags

Feature Flagging comes with many benefits, like testing new features in a live environment without exposing them to all users, rolling back changes quickly if something goes wrong, and helping isolate the feature development process from deployment so you can better manage your dev cycles. Like everything in the CI/CD world, all features and tools require careful consideration. You want to avoid creating additional tech debt and complicating your codebase, and you certainly want to avoid introducing unnecessary work to a likely already overworked team.

VMware Tanzu Aligns to Multi-Cloud Industry Trends

Businesses today are prioritizing software agility to remain competitive in a rapidly changing world. However, the perks of having access to different clouds, tools, and methodologies can also bring along with it layers of complexity. As the cloud native landscape continues to grow, it’s vital that organizations are investing in capabilities that accelerate developer productivity, drive revenue, and maintain a competitive edge.

8 GKE Monitoring Best Practices To Apply ASAP

Kubernetes (K8s) is the most popular container orchestration platform today. But, it can also be quite complex. To overcome this management challenge, you can deploy your Kubernetes containers using the Google Kubernetes Engine, which is a fully managed service. Yet, to get the most from GKE, you still need to follow best practices. And the following best practices for monitoring GKE clusters will help you get started.

DevOps and Kubernetes: We've Been Doing It Wrong

Platform engineering as a replacement for DevOps has become a hot topic, with provocative critics stoking the controversy by pronouncing DevOps dead. The underlying reason for these pronouncements is that the once-radical DevOps model is at odds with the new cloud-native container management model to which the now-obsolete DevOps model is being applied. Let’s take a closer look.

Real-World Container & Image Security: Present & Future - Civo Navigate NA 2023

Bret Fisher shares his extensive knowledge and experience in Docker and Kubernetes during this session from Civo Navigate NA 2023. He emphasizes the importance of addressing security challenges in container and image deployments. Bret discusses various aspects of container and image security, including CI/CD practices, vulnerability scanning, standardizing pods, and automation. As potential solutions, he also introduces concepts such as SSH signing of Git commits and GetOps signature verification.

Using SigNoz to Monitor Your Kubernetes Cluster

Kubernetes and OpenTelemetry are both CNCF projects, and both are closely associated with modern microservice architecture. Despite their connection, there isn’t a single cohesive solution to monitoring your Kubernetes cluster with OpenTelemetry. Large teams that use complex clusters in production have generally ended up building their own tools for monitoring both their infrastructure and application code.
