Understanding Sidecars in Kubernetes Pods
In the world of Kubernetes, containers have revolutionized how we think about applications and deployments. Pods, the smallest deployable units in Kubernetes, can contain one or more containers. More often than not, we have multiple containers inside a pod to help our main application container. These helper containers are commonly referred to as "sidecar" containers.
Scaling Applications with Docker Swarm
Containers have revolutionized how applications are developed, packaged, and deployed. They allow us to package our applications along with their dependencies in consistent environments, ensuring that they run the same regardless of where they are deployed. But as our application grows in complexity and traffic, simply running it in a container isn't enough. That's where container orchestration tools like Docker Swarm come into play.
