Let’s get it straight: it is wrong to have more than one application container inside a single Pod. There are different reasons behind this statement and I will mention just a few of them. In any cases, the way Kubernetes has been designed brings us to the fact that having just one application container per Pod gives us a lot more flexibility. Two application containers: a bad idea We have an application, made of various microservices. We deploy them using Deployments. In one of these Deployments, we choose to have 2 of our microservices, let’s say Microservice A and Microservice B. The ..read more

The advent of agile methodologies has certainly been a phenomenon similar to the revolution of the 1960s. I believe that it’s some sort of Woodstock of information, which, as often happens in life, I only saw from afar. However, I continue to meet people who were there and who always stop to tell me that such an event will never happen again and how the programmers of the past loved each other, exchanged flower crowns, etc. Well, in short, the Robert Downey Jr. meme fits perfectly. My historical legacy as a consultant has taught me that talking about Agile in Public Administration contexts p ..read more

In today’s competitive market for apps and services, agility is key. Technology continues to change rapidly and businesses must be ready to adapt to new trends and scale fast as demand increases. That’s why the use of cloud infrastructures and container-based deployments by software companies is growing rapidly. But migrating to container-based architectures can be challenging and no company wants to risk downtime or failures in the process. Luckily Kubernetes, the world’s leading open-source container orchestration system, can simplify migration considerably, allowing easier deployment, mana ..read more

What Is Cloud Cost Optimization? Cloud cost optimization is the process of reducing the cost of using cloud computing services, without sacrificing the required performance and availability, by improving resource utilization, minimizing waste, and identifying cost-effective pricing options. This can include: Right-sizing: Matching the size of cloud resources to the actual workload requirements to minimize overprovisioning and waste. Automated scheduling: Automatically starting and stopping cloud resources based on usage patterns to reduce the amount of time resources are unused and unnecessar ..read more

Document processing is a vital concern for many businesses. But the process itself can be highly resource-intensive. From gathering to classification, data extraction, analysis and presentation, there are many stages to processing documents and each can be resource-intensive. Traditionally these have been done manually, with human agents required to comprehend, summarise and cross-link different information sources. However, the recent rise in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies means that this workflow can now be automated, yielding great savings in time and e ..read more

What Is a Readiness Probe Failed Error? Readiness probes play a crucial role in the Kubernetes architecture, due to its distributed nature. It is a diagnostic check used in Kubernetes to determine whether a container within a pod is ready to accept incoming traffic and serve requests. It is a configurable mechanism that helps Kubernetes decide when a container is prepared for work and when to include it in load balancing.  A readiness error occurs when a container within a pod does not pass the configured readiness probe checks. This error indicates that the container is not yet ready to ..read more
