Mastering Metrics and Logs in Kubernetes: Tools You Need to Know
Kubernetes (often abbreviated as K8s) has rapidly become the de facto standard for container orchestration. As organizations scale their containerized applications using Kubernetes, the need for effective monitoring and logging becomes paramount. In this blog post, we'll delve into the importance of these practices and explore some of the most popular tools and setups, including Prometheus, Grafana, the ELK stack, and the Loki-Stack.
Kubernetes Networking: A Deep Dive with Examples
If you've ever used Kubernetes (or K8s, for the short form lovers), you know it's a powerful orchestration platform for containerized applications. One key aspect of Kubernetes that's fundamental to its operation yet can sometimes seem a bit mysterious is its networking model.
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.
Advanced Use Cases with AWS Services: EC2, S3, and SQS
AWS, or Amazon Web Services, is the most comprehensive and widely adopted cloud platform in the world. It offers a vast range of cloud services, including computing power, storage options, and networking capabilities that help businesses scale and grow. In this blog post, we'll delve deeper into advanced uses of specific AWS services, including EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud), S3 (Simple Storage Service), and SQS (Simple Queue Service). We will also address some specific questions about these services.
Using Bash to Build an AWS S3 Tool
Amazon S3, a reliable and scalable object storage service by AWS, is extensively used to store and manage data. In this blog post, we will walk through creating a simple bash script that allows you to list objects in an S3 bucket and download them using arguments passed through the command line.
