Announcing Harvester: Open Source Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) Software
Today, I am excited to announce project Harvester, open source hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software built using Kubernetes. Harvester provides fully integrated virtualization and storage capabilities on bare-metal servers. No Kubernetes knowledge is required to use Harvester. In the past few years, we’ve seen many attempts to bring VM management into container platforms, including our own RancherVM, and other solutions like KubeVirt and Virtlet.
Manual steps in parallel groups available for Pipelines
Bitbucket Pipelines now allows steps with a manual trigger to be used in parallel groups, satisfying one of the highest voted feature requests. This feature provides more flexibility in Pipelines, allowing teams to configure pipelines with multiple options and then only run the steps they actually need to run, at the time they want. For example you can choose which environments should be deployed for individual developers, giving them different environments to test and do their work.
Kubernetes GitOps with Rancher Continuous Delivery
As the number of Kubernetes clusters under management increases, application owners and cluster operators need a programmatic way to approach cluster management. Rancher CD solves this by creating a git driven engine for applying cluster changes. Declarative code is stored in a git repo. As changes are committed to the repo, linked clusters are automatically updated. Gitops keeps all your clusters consistent, version controlled, and reduces the administrative burden as you scale.
DevOps 101: Introduction to CI/CD
When you’re new to an industry, you encounter a lot of new concepts. We tend to use a lot of jargon, the documentation may be written with someone more experienced in mind or rely on contextual knowledge of the rest of the space, and it often doesn’t explain the “why” for the tool. This can make it really difficult to get your feet underneath you on an unfamiliar landscape, especially for junior engineers.
From SysAdmin to SRE: How to evolve your skillset
Are you wondering what it takes to become an SRE from a SysAdmin background? Our latest blog, covers the growth areas and technical skills needed to successfully transition to an SRE role. The last decade has seen widespread adoption of SRE practices based on the best practices laid out by Google. Many SysAdmins have observed this trend and are now evaluating becoming SREs. Which gives rise to the question how much of a skills overlap is there between an SRE and a SysAdmin?
Flyway's Growth Demonstrates the Value of Open Source for Software Companies
Following its $10 million acquisition of Flyway, Redgate Software has secured the future of the popular Open Source database migration tool by taking a new approach to software development.
Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu: 2020 roundup
We’re almost there, 2021 is just around the corner. Like many others, we at Canonical have a deep appreciation for all things Raspberry Pi. We see the good they do and the joy they bring and can’t help but be impressed. This year marks the beginning of a stronger collaboration between the folks at Raspberry Pi and us at Canonical. We are by no means done and still have a long way to go. But we have made strides in the right direction.
Making Kubernetes Disappear with Shipa
In this excellent YouTube video – Marcel Dempers aka That DevOps Guy explains how Shipa abstracts Kubernetes away from developers so they can focus on coding while providing the controls the DevOps team needs. With Shipa – not a single yaml is needed to deploy an application across multiple clouds. See for yourself…
Observability VS. Monitoring
First of all: apologies...because although the title suggests otherwise, this blog is not about "Observability VS. Monitoring." It's a great misconception that observability is this hot new technology that's here to replace your monitoring tools.
