The Kubernetes for Humans Podcast is hosted by Komodor’s own co-founding CTO Itiel Shwartz, and revolves around Platform Engineering, DevOps culture, Kubernetes at scale, Cloud-Native challenges, industry trends, future predictions, and of course – the intersection between humans and technology. Each episode Itiel hosts another industry leader or K8s veteran for an open, freeform conversation about life, the Kube-verse, and everything! Available on: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music The post The Kubernetes for Humans Podcast ?️ appeared first on Komodor ..read more

A couple of weeks ago I had the absolute joy of attending KCD Munich for the first time, with my friend and colleague Guy Menahem (whom some of you know simply as The Good Guy on Twitter and YouTube). Besides rooting for Guy and his co-speaker, Arsh Sharma of Okteto, during their session on Backstage.io and IDPs, I enjoyed being untethered from ‘booth duty’ and free to engage with all the beautiful human beings that gathered together for this Kubetastic event! Guy and I had some fascinating conversations with folks from the local community and from all over Europe. We had a lot of fun and also ..read more

Helm Dashboard is an open-source project which graphically shows installed Helm charts, revisions, and changes to their Kubernetes resources. The intents operator is an open-source Kubernetes operator which makes it possible to roll out network policies in a Kubernetes cluster, chart by chart, and gradually achieve zero trust or network segmentation. Modern engineering organizations may want to achieve network segmentation as part of adhering to the OWASP Kubernetes Top 10 recommendations, in particular, K07: Missing Network Segmentation Controls, where Kubernetes network policies and service ..read more

In Part 1 of this series, you learned the core components of Kubernetes, an open-source container orchestrator for deploying and scaling applications in distributed environments. You also saw how to deploy a simple application to your cluster, then change its replica count to scale it up or down. In this article, you’ll get a deeper look at the networking and monitoring features available with Kubernetes. By the end, you’ll be ready to promote your applications into production environments with exposed network services and good observability. Kubernetes Networking Features Kubernetes includes ..read more

Put simply, Kubernetes is an orchestration system for deploying and managing containers. Using Kubernetes, you can operate containers reliably across different environments by automating management tasks such as scaling containers across Nodes and restarting them when they stop. Kubernetes provides abstractions that let you think in terms of application components, such as Pods (containers), Services (network endpoints), and Jobs (one-off tasks). It has a declarative configuration model that simplifies setup and defends against drift—you define what your environment should  ..read more

If you’ve been anywhere in the DevOpsphere in recent times, you have certainly encountered the Platform Engineering vs. DevOps vs. SRE debates that are all the rage. Is DevOps truly dead?! Is Platform Engineering all I need?! Have I been doing it wrong all along? These have become more popular than the mono vs. multi-repo flame wars from a few years back. The core of the debate isn’t around the terminology, it’s about what the practice actually involves––because honestly if you haven’t been doing platform engineering by now, you haven’t been doing DevOps right. If you haven’t unlocked the prom ..read more

A containerized approach to software deployment means you can deploy at scale without having to worry about the configuration of each unit. In Kubernetes, clusters do the heavy lifting for you—they’re the pooled resources that run the pods that hold your individual containers. You can divide each cluster by namespace, which allows you to assign nodes (ie the machine resources in a cluster) to different roles or different teams. Resource quotas limit what each namespace can use. Restrictions on things like CPU usage, memory, storage, requests, and object creation prevent resource hogging. You c ..read more

Introduction Reviewing the Current State of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), its Challenges, the Emergence of Crossplane, Adoption Difficulties, and the Road Ahead! Infrastructure as code (IaC) has become an indispensable practice for managing and deploying cloud-native applications. By defining infrastructure through code, developers can efficiently and consistently manage their infrastructure. In this post, we’ll delve into the state of IaC, the problems it poses, and the new approach offered by Crossplane. We’ll also explore the challenges in adopting Crossplane and discuss the future of IaC ..read more

Introduction Have you heard about eBPF? It’s the technology that’s set to transform the Kubernetes landscape. In this article, we’ll explore what eBPF is and why it’s poised to become the next big thing in Kubernetes. But here’s the catch – despite its game-changing potential, it seems that few people are truly aware of its impact. Let’s delve into the details and discover why you should care. Understanding eBPF Before we dive into its implications for Kubernetes, let’s start by understanding what eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) actually is. In simple terms, eBPF is a powerful technolog ..read more

Kubernetes for Humans is a podcast focused on K8s for enterprises, adoption challenges, industry trends, innovation, and future predictions. Hosted by ETL Shwartz, Co-Founding CTO at Komodor. The following is a sneak-peek into the new podcast series we’re launching. In this episode ETL has a geeky conversation with Christoph about all things K8s. Christoph Held, Cloud Architect at Allianz, is a big enthusiast of Open Source and Kubernetes in particular. His journey with Kubernetes began in 2014, when he became a full-time contributor and took on the leadership of the Dashboard project. Today ..read more
