So you want to build yourself a Kubernetes cluster? You have your reasons. Some may want to utilize the hardware they own, some may not fully trust these fancy cloud services or just simply want to have a choice and build themselves a hybrid solution. There are a couple of products available that I’ve reviewed, but […]
Most people think that Kubernetes was designed to bring more features and more abstraction layers to cloud environments. Well, I think the biggest benefits can be achieved in on-premise environments, because of the big gap between those environments and the ones that can be easily created in the cloud. This opens up many excellent opportunities […]
Containers are a beautiful piece of technology that ease the development of modern applications and also the maintenance of modern environments. One thing that draws many people to them is how they reduce the time required to set up a service, or a whole environment, with everything included. It is possible mainly because there are […]
Kubectl is the new ssh When I started my adventure with linux systems the first tool I had to get to know was ssh. Oh man, what a wonderful and powerful piece of software it is! You can not only log in to your servers, copy files, but also create vpns, omit firewalls with SOCKS […]
Kubernetes as a standard development platform We started with single, often powerful, machines that hosted many applications. Soon after came virtualization, which didn’t actually change a lot from a development perspective but it did for the field of operations. So developers became mad, and that’s when the public cloud emerged to satisfy their needs instead […]
People are fascinated by containers, Kubernetes and cloud native approach for different reasons. It could be enhanced security, real portability, greater extensibility or more resilience. For me personally, and for organizations delivering software products for their customers, there is one reason that is far more important – it’s the speed they can gain. That leads […]
Security is a major factor when it comes to a decision of whether to invest your precious time and resources in new technology. It’s no different for containers and Kubernetes. I’ve heard a lot of concerns around it and decided to write about the most important factors that have the biggest impact on the security […]
Beautiful but useless systems Hundreds of applications, thousands of users and millions of requests – that is often a landscape of a modern IT environment. However, problems are still the same.
So you’ve decided to go with Kubernetes and started building your container images. Now the question is where to push them and how to manage them properly?
Containers are considerably faster than virtual machines – at least that’s what most people say. But do they actually bring more speed to overall development and deployment process? Let’s find out in the third part of my article series.
