The SRE's Quick Guide to Kubectl Logs

Logs are key to monitoring the performance of your applications. Kubernetes offers a command line tool for interacting with the control plane of a Kubernetes cluster called Kubectl. This tool allows debugging, monitoring, and, most importantly, logging capabilities. There are many great tools for SREs. However, Kubernetes supports Site Reliability Engineering principles through its capacity to standardize the definition, architecture, and orchestration of containerized applications.

Your CI GitFlow is Broken

One of the great things about GitFlow is that it makes parallel development very easy by isolating new development from finished work. New development, such as features, is done in feature branches and is only merged back into the main body of code when developers have validated the feature and the code is ready for release. For most development teams, feature validation happens in a staging branch coupled with a single testing environment.
