Ray Tsang on Tools and Best Practices for Kubernetes Adoption

Source:-infoq.com Ray Tsang, developer advocate at Google, spoke last week at SpringOne Platform 2019 Conference about the tools and best practices developers can use in Kubernetes adoption in their organizations. Containerization and adopting container platforms like Kubernetes has been a challenge for application developers. Building container images involves Dockerfiles, which are cumbersome and error-prone when creating and maintaining them in the long run. Also, IDE tools’ support for developing and maintaining container based applications has been poor. This typically slows down the entire software development cycle.

Kubernetes and multi-cloud: How to monitor your modern applications effectively

Source:- cloudcomputing-news.net Many companies are moving to a new way of delivering service to customers based on microservices. Rather than building huge and monolithic apps, microservices uses small and interconnected application components instead. These modern applications tend to be easier to update and expand than those traditional applications, as replacement services can be slotted in using APIs rather than requiring full rewrites. To support this design approach, developers are making more use of cloud and containers. According to the Continuous Intelligence
