We spoke with two members from the SRE team, Alex Blyth and Zulhilmi Zainudin, to learn more about their role at Civo. Through this series, we aim to provide you with an overview of the different roles we have at Civo and what advice our team has. You can discover more about our team in our “day in the life of a Go Dev” and “day in the life of an Intern” blog.
Data is becoming increasingly essential to businesses globally, allowing for insights to be gathered around critical processes and operations. Over time, the traditional systems put in place to hold our data have become unsuitable for modern-day needs due to the continuous growth of data. Edge computing has emerged to reshape the current computing environment and allow data to be processed closer to where it’s being generated.
Throughout KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2022, our team was able to speak to over 100 people from the cloud-native community to learn more about their thoughts and experience of the event. This blog will explore what the community thought was the hot topic of discussion at KubeCon + CNC NA 2022, which includes topics such as security, cost, and developer experience. Check out the full video below.
At the start of October, Dinesh Majrekar, CTO, and Mark Boost, CEO at Civo spoke at KubeCrash, about application deployments of old, cloud-native processes of today and edge native deployments of the future. Watch their session below to learn about the challenges we are about to face with an edge-first architecture and what we can do today to be ready. We then took to Detroit for KubeCon + CNC NA 2022 where we hosted an array of talks, workshops, and events.
In technology, nothing is static. We need to be open to experimenting with new platforms and avoid getting locked into any one single entity or technological solution. With all the recent events, many people are looking for alternatives where they can post microblogging content like they did on Twitter. Mastodon has recently become significantly more popular due to its decentralised nature and the power of enabling different communities to define themselves.
In the second part of our “Kubernetes interview questions” series, we have outlined ten questions to help those that want to take their Kubernetes knowledge to the next level. Read on to learn more about the difference between Kubernetes and Docker Swarm. We’ll also be covering how an organization can keep costs low using Kubernetes. If you missed part one, check it out here.
Here at Civo, we have created over 50 free video guides and tutorials to help you navigate Kubernetes: from understanding the basic need for and function of containers, to launching and scaling your first clusters. You can start learning everything you need to know to get started with Kubernetes today with our nine modules which were created by in-house experts at Civo!
Since the beginning, our community has been at the forefront of what we do. Over the years, we have been able to highlight the knowledge and talent of our community by showcasing tutorials submitted to us via Write For Us. As we reach the end of 2022, we wanted to highlight some of our top guides from the Civo community that were published throughout the year.
In September, we announced that Steve Wozniak will be joining us at Civo Navigate to discuss his time at Apple and share his thoughts on the future of technology. Grab your tickets for Civo Navigate today! We also hosted the Cloud Native Community meetup in Florida where we had talks from Mark Boost, CEO at Civo, Kunal Kushwaha, Dev Rel Manager at Civo, and a guest speaker from Defense.com speaking about security.
In August, we announced a brand new tech event, Civo Navigate! This event will bring together the brightest minds in cloud native technology to provide a packed event with over 50 speakers. Civo Navigate is focused on bringing together the cloud native community and creating an environment where everyone can share ideas, collaborate and learn more.
