Kubernetes is an open source platform that, through a central API server, allows controllers to watch and adjust what’s going on. The server interacts with all the nodes to do basic tasks like start containers and pass along specific configuration items such as the URI to the persistent storage that the container requires. But Kubernetes can quickly get complicated. So, let’s look at Vanilla Kubernetes — the nickname for a a K8s setup that’s as basic and elementary as it gets.

Arm processors have become increasingly popular in recent years, providing energy-efficient, cost-effective processing power to both mobile and cloud computing ecosystems. As a part of this growth, more and more organizations are choosing to leverage the many benefits of Arm-based architectures for their containerized workloads. Today, Google Cloud announced its Arm-based Tau T2A virtual machines (VMs), which you can also use to run workloads in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

TL;DR: We’ve raised $34M to bring increased resilience to organisations around the world. With this latest round of investment we’re expanding internationally in the US, accelerating our product plans, and growing our amazing team 🎉 As technology becomes more complicated and runs an ever greater part of our lives, failure becomes more inevitable, and more costly.

This is no secret to you. It costs up to seven times more to attract a new customer than to keep an existing one. Upselling an existing customer is also easier than upselling to a new one. So, keeping customers will increase your revenue and profitability. Not to mention, current customers are likely to buy more goods and services than new ones. But that's not all. The longer you keep a customer, the higher their Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) grows, thus maximizing your return on investment.

Some people spend hours on a spreadsheet and call themselves “Excell Ninja” here at Qovery; we spend hours on our console because, in case you don’t know yet, we test and deploy using Qovery for Qovery. After a year of using our console almost every day, I started to make a list of all the small tips and tricks that I was able to gather, and because sharing is caring, here are my top three tips to use on Qovery.

As announced in past blog posts, Kubewarden has 100% coverage of the deprecated, and soon to be removed, Kubernetes PSPs. If everything goes as expected the PSPs will be removed in Kubernetes v1.25 due for release on 23rd August 2022. The Kubewarden team has written a script that leverages the migration tool written by AppVia, to migrate PSP automatically. The tool is capable of reading PSPs YAML and can generate the equivalent policies in many different policy engines.

As a gold sponsor for DevOps Institute’s fourth annual Upskilling IT report, we compiled some key takeaways. However, there is so much more to get from this report – so download and read the full report today. In this technology-driven world, skills have a very limited shelf life. The knowledge, tools and resources we rely on in the moment rarely stay relevant or useful forever – especially with rapidly changing demands.

Continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) tools give developers the ability to automate the software development process. As soon as developers push code to git, your CI/CD system can build, test, stage, integration test, deploy, and scale. That’s fantastic! In this tutorial, we will look at CircleCI orbs and how they can support your CI/CD practice. We’ll look at how to use multiple orbs and how orbs can help with multi-builds for a variety of application types.
