7 Core Components Of An Internal Developer Platform

The world of software development is constantly and rapidly changing. New technologies emerge every day to solve problems that slow down the daily work of IT departments. So while innovation is a positive factor in that it helps simplify work, there is also a proliferation of new tools and services that need to be managed by developers, thus increasing the cognitive load needed to develop and release software. Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) aim to solve this problem and simplify the use of tools and services by providing a single point of access and interaction. Those familiar with the topic of Platform Engineering will have…

Announcing Linkerd 2.13 With Circuit Breaking, Dynamic Request Routing, FIPS, Health Monitoring, And More

Today we’re thrilled to announce the release of Linkerd 2.13, a significant milestone for the CNCF’s only graduated service mesh! This release introduces dynamic request routing based on the Gateway API, circuit breaking for overloaded services, and several other important features and fixes. For users who need to run Linkerd in government environments, we’ve also published a FIPS-compatible version of Linkerd 2.13. Contact us for details. Finally, for this release, we’ve done something really audacious: we’ve launched free automated health monitoring, vulnerability alerts, and proxy upgrade assistance for any Linkerd cluster with Buoyant Cloud, our Linkerd automation platform. This means that any user in the world can make…

How To Use Weave GitOps As Your Flux UI

Here comes the newest blog post in our ecosystem category. One of the key reasons to rewrite Flux was to break up the former monolith solution into separate controllers which provide distinct parts of the functionality. This allows users to pick just the parts they need, and integrators to very easily build on top of Flux’s APIs. Today we have a very active Flux Ecosystem – we very much welcome this to happen and see it as an indicator of success. An introduction to Weave GitOps Today we would like to talk about Weave GitOps. It has been built out in the open for…

6 Kubernetes Cost Control Strategies You Need In Place For 2023

Organizations have moved increasingly to the cloud, adopting containers and Kubernetes to change their infrastructure and take advantage of these cloud native technologies. Kubernetes itself is complex, requiring new skills and increasing levels of maturity as you move from pre-production implementation to improving operations and optimizing environments. Further complicating the Kubernetes adoption process is the challenge of putting Kubernetes cost control strategies in place. Kubernetes and total cloud cost Calculating the total cost of ownership for running applications and services in the cloud is more challenging than simply buying a set amount of compute and storage and assigning that to a team.…

Cloud Sustainability And The Path To Green Software

In an increasingly sustainability‑conscious world, cloud software, services, and infrastructure are no longer evaluated only in terms of performance, resilience, scalability, and reliability, but also according to their environmental impact. So, considering cloud sustainability means tools impact on the environment needs to be observed. Towards sustainable development Sustainability is one of the great pillars of contemporary society. It is a universal and systemic goal, involving people, communities, organizations, and institutions at every level. The paradigm to strive toward is that of Sustainable Development: development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In enterprise,…

Argo And Flux: Grown-up GitOps For Cloud Native Generation

It’s a watershed moment in the evolution of cloud native: Argo and Flux, which let teams declaratively deploy and run applications and workflows on Kubernetes using GitOps, have left CNCF’s incubation phase. In graduating, the pair demonstrated advanced design and impressive security, project stability and mature governance and a rapid level of adoption. Their graduation from the CNCF establishes GitOps as mainstream technology and further propels cloud native to maturity. Argo and Flux landed in the CNCF Incubator in 2020 and 2019 respectively during which time adoption of Kubernetes was accelerating apace. By 2021 more than half of those participating in a CNCF…

A DevOps Reset For A Multi-Cloud World

In the world of DevOps, only two things really matter: To release applications and updates as quickly as possible To have access to resources (processing, storage, networks) able to run those apps, as cost-effectively as possible. The measures used to achieve these twin goals should work together seamlessly–otherwise, you’re inefficient. But software development and IT operations have been on separate journeys, and it now takes layers of tools, specialized expertise and lots of precious time to distribute and manage applications where they need to run. Organizations tolerate all this complexity (and the delays and costs that come with it) since…

Support For 100 Large-Scale Clusters

TL;DR Cloud native implementations, growing in scale and complexity, are challenging organizations on how to efficiently, reliably manage large-scale resource pools to meet growing demands. Players in the cloud field attempted to scale out single clusters by customizing native Kubernetes components, which complicated single-cluster operations and maintenance, beclouded cluster upgrade paths, let alone many other problems. This is where multi-cluster technologies come into play. They can scale resource pools horizontally without invasively modifying each single cluster, while reducing O&M costs. The popularity of Karmada is now drawing users’ attention to Karmada’s scalability and deployment at scale. Therefore, we launched a…

Updates To The KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Maintainer Track

When we started offering the maintainer track over four years ago at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Seattle in 2018, it was a very exciting but small part of our events. Since then, our maintainer track (and the total number of maintainers) has grown exponentially!As a result of this significant growth, exciting updates are being made in collaboration with the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon co-chairs in order to continue driving diversity and inclusion across our community. Starting with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2023, two important changes will be made to the maintainer track: The maintainer tracks will now mirror the same gender diversity…
