The latest News and Information on DevOps, CI/CD, Automation and related technologies.
Welcome to Part II of this three-part mini-series on embedded Linux development on Ubuntu. In Part I, we set the stage for the remainder of the series and gave an overview of snaps, the packaging format at the heart of embedded devices running Ubuntu. Snaps are a secure, confined, dependency-free, cross-platform Linux packaging format. Software publishers often want to manage their application components using containers.
So far in this series, you have learned why it’s important to understand how to use the command line, some command line basics and shell commands, and all about running CLI-based applications and command line tools. In this part of our CLI intro series, you are going to learn the basics of customizing your shell user experience. In this part of the CLI intro series, we’re going to focus on.
Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) have a considerable set of tasks to juggle no matter where they work or how long their company has had an SRE practice. But if you’re the very first SRE to join an organization – as many SREs are these days, given that the SRE trend is trickling down into smaller and smaller companies – you face a special group of challenges. You may find it difficult to get buy-in for SRE from other technical teams.
Having trouble deploying Kubernetes in a highly available mode and have a backing remote database? This blog is for you. I will explain how to deploy K3s in HA configuration with an external database Postgres. K3s is a certified Kubernetes distribution for IoT and Edge computing. I deployed it on virtual machines in an IBM Z mainframe. Instead of etcd, I choose Postgres as my storage for my K3s clusters. I deployed Postgres in non HA mode.
It is an exciting time to be a startup. Our vast technological landscape has made powerful digital tools available to businesses of all sizes, making starting (and scaling) an organization easier than ever before. In an era where technology is a fundamental building block of almost every business, methodologies like DevOps have become ubiquitous across many industries.
To keep ahead of the curve, many organizations are looking at how to evolve their technical processes to accelerate their IT infrastructure development. Fast and robust deployments to the latest platforms are key to achieving the low lead times that enable this evolution. Two of the most widely-used technologies to host these deployments are serverless functions and containers. What are they, how do they differ, and how do you decide which is best for your application?
