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.
Is it true that after so many years we finally have real, portable format for all applications? It seems that we’ve come very close to that goal and it’s time to find out more about portability that comes with container revolution.
We had many revolutions in IT infrastructure world over past 20 years or so. Virtualization promised hardware abstraction, private cloud promised lower costs and flexibility and containers keep adding more to that pile creating a vision of perfect world.
We’ve been falling for the containers hype for the past few months and Kubernetes has emerged as a leader among container orchestrator to help build solutions on a bigger scale than your own laptop. Here are 10 reason why it’s won the war and become first choice for container orchestrator.
