Minikube, Kubernetes’ best friend: 6 facts to know

Source:-enterprisersproject.com If your team is building apps for containers and Kubernetes, get to know Minikube. This free open source tool helps developers do experiments and packs a punch in demonstrations Minikube is an open source tool that enables you to run a single-node Kubernetes cluster on a laptop. To think of it another way, it takes the grand scale of Kubernetes and slims it down to fit run locally in a virtual machine, no cloud or on-premises data center required.

Managing Multi-Cloud Production Kubernetes Clusters at Brandwatch

Source:-infoq.com Brandwatch’s engineering team wrote about their experience with managing multi-cluster Kubernetes across EKS, GKE and self-managed clusters. Brandwatch runs around 150 production services across 6 independent Kubernetes clusters, which run on AWS EKS, GKE, and self-managed data centers in London. In early 2016, they started running on GKE, and found that it was a good fit for many of their services. They have automated deployments using ConcourseCI and some custom tooling, and use the nginx ingress controller for more

How OpenEBS Brings Container Attached Storage to Kubernetes

Source:-thenewstack.io Managing stateful workloads in Kubernetes is fundamentally different from deploying and scaling stateless microservices. In a previous article that discussed different approaches to running stateful workloads in Kubernetes, I explained Container Attached Storage (CAS) as one of the emerging choices for managing stateful workloads. CAS is fast becoming the preferred choice for running durable, fault-tolerant stateful applications in Kubernetes. The OpenEBS project, which is a part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation Sandbox, attempts to bring CAS to the

5 ways to lose data on Kubernetes—and how to avoid them

Source:-techbeacon.com If your critical databases and stateful applications are migrating to Kubernetes, the sorrows of accidental data loss aren’t far behind. And data is the lifeblood of modern applications. For database people, “data” means any persistent state that the database depends on to function properly. Think tables in MySQL, znodes in Zookeeper, or column storage in a data warehouse. If the bits are gone, applications that depend on them stop working. “Loss” means the data is gone or at least

7 best practices: Building applications for containers and Kubernetes

Source:-enterprisersproject.com Let’s examine key considerations for building new applications specifically for containers and Kubernetes, according to cloud-native experts. Don’t let the growing popularity of containers and Kubernetes dupe you into thinking that you should use them to run any and every type of application. You need to distinguish between “can” and “should.” One basic example of this distinction is the difference between building an app specifically to be run in containers and operated with Kubernetes (some would refer to this

Rook 101: Building software-defined containerised storage in Kubernetes

Source:-computerweekly.com Rook – think castles, not birds – uses the principles of containerisation and the methods used in Kubernetes to build storage that’s abstracted from the hardware it lives on Containerisation is sweeping IT, and it’s the abstraction that’s the attraction. In other words, use of containers decouples the application from the infrastructure needed to run it. Of course, software needs hardware, but with containers – via a container orchestrator such as Kubernetes – you can build a dynamic environment

OpenStack remains essential: How to get your private cloud builds right

Source:-techbeacon.com When SUSE announced in October that it was pulling out of the OpenStack market, it renewed industry speculation that the once massively hyped technology is sliding toward irrelevance. Nothing could be further from the truth. OpenStack’s alleged decline has become one of tech’s favorite tropes. The infrastructure-as-a-service model of hosting private clouds was all the rage in the early and mid-2010s, touted (unfairly) by some as an alternative to public clouds. That early excitement faded when OpenStack gained a
