Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source container orchestration platform which automates the deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. Its creation can be traced back to Google’s internal container orchestration system,  called Borg.In 2014, Google open-sourced a version of Borg which is called Kubernetes. A kubernetes cluster is a set of machines, called nodes, that are used to run containerized applications. There are 2 core pieces in a kubernetes cluster: The first is the control plane which is responsible for managing the state of the cluster. The second is the set ..read more

With the rapid rise of containerization, Kubernetes continues to play a leading role in reshaping the landscape of application development. While Kubernetes offers a forward-looking container solution to enhance productivity, real-world use cases suggest that relying solely on its out-of-the-box services for containerizing application development may not always be the most optimal approach. To fully harness the potential of Kubernetes, it’s essential to implement best practices and adopt a custom-configured model tailored to meet the unique requirements of your application build. Here are some ..read more

DevOps and cloud-native approaches are now considered best practices for businesses. As a result, software developers are increasingly using these modern computing paradigms to expedite time-to-market, reduce costs, and ensure high availability. Kubernetes stands out as a platform to accelerate software delivery. These days, Kubernetes is an essential component of any software architecture. Therefore, seeking assistance from Kubernetes consulting companies is necessary. The Importance of Kubernetes Security Security is crucial throughout the container’s lifecycle due to the distributed and dyn ..read more

In today’s digital landscape, ensuring the security of container-based applications is of utmost importance. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters have emerged as a reliable solution for managing and safeguarding these applications. With the introduction of Azure Container Networking Interface (CNI) and the Application Gateway Ingress Controller, AKS now offers enhanced security features to further protect your valuable assets. Our comprehensive guide aims to provide detailed strategies and best practices to help you establish a robust security framework for your AKS cluster, ensuring the co ..read more

Who would’ve guessed when in 2014, Kubernetes was launched, that it would take a whole army to manage the orchestration tool! But it does today, and despite it, you can’t say no to the incredible benefits it offers. So, do you continue to invest a significant percentage of your IT workforce for Kubernetes management, or is there an alternative you can think about? Enter Kubernetes as a Service (KaaS). What is Kubernetes as a Service? Think of it as managing your nursery. You can do it yourself, definitely, but doing it everyday would take up a lot of your time and space. Not only that, but you ..read more

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that the new Kubernetes v1.26 release is out. And it’s all about “Electrifying” the user experience this time—but how? Kubernetes 1.26: The Theme The theme for this release is “Electrifying” —a gesture highlighting the importance of acknowledging the various building blocks that make up the Kubernetes system while raising awareness about the energy consumption footprint of the software. This release theme would also highlight the community effort of the Kubernetes projects to be environmentally conscious and sustainable in future releases. The n ..read more

What is Constellation? Constellation, an Edgeless Systems creation, is the first always-encrypted Kubernetes engine in history, meaning that no one, not even cloud admins, operators, foreign governments, or – needless to say – even hackers, can get access to the data in its cluster. It’s an open-source Kubernetes engine. Though a normal K8s distribution like SUSE Rancher or RedHat OpenShift on the outside – fully-featured and CNCF or Certified Kubernetes Conformance certified – it is 100% confidential. How?  How does Constellation ensure a trustable level of security for clusters while fu ..read more

In this post, we recommend some of the best principles when using Kubernetes. Kubernetes has become the most popular tool in the DevOps space, as containerization changes the face of IT architecture. It helps professionals manage containers by automating deployment requests, scaling, and load balancing. As your Kubernetes cluster grows, so does the complexity of managing it, and it is not always easy to use. To get the most out of your Kubernetes, we recommend that you follow the below principles outlined in this article. Use of namespaces A Kubernetes cluster must be managed and protected f ..read more

  Internet of Things (IoT) devices have grown massively, and companies are using advanced computing systems to better understand the vast amounts of data generated by these devices. Edge computing, as the name implies, moves computing resources and storage capacity from the central data center to the edge of the network, where data is generated. Consider a factory, a shop, or a vehicle automation center that depends on data for quick decision-making, and automation data can be analyzed and used to maintain systems, enhance processes, and address issues that arise on the factory floor in r ..read more

Introducing COSI by Kubernetes API Although it is not the only platform for containers, Kubernetes has emerged as the industry norm for orchestration. Today’s application development requires Kubernetes because it enables businesses to create and deploy cloud-native applications regardless of the underlying infrastructure and environment. However, Kubernetes does have some limitations.   Fortunately, new developments have made it possible to develop scalable, and portable application architectures.   As a substitute for file systems and block devices in terms of storage, object stora ..read more
