Kubernetes
Do we really mean anything? No. Because not everything is capable of being deployed with Kubernetes, and some things are not worth deploying on Kubernetes. Those things are beyond the scope of this writing, but in a future series, we will explore the options available for getting those applications onto
Kubernetes
Explain it like I'm five: Kubernetes. Here are the big highlights that define the use case of Kubernetes.
Kubernetes
With only a single command, you could have a fully-functional cluster running locally in seconds!
github
GitHub has taken a strong stance on not implementing a folder structures to support sorting of repositories. Why is that? They believe that it is unnecessary – and it is. Adding folders would add a layer of confusion that can be solved easily at a more meta level. This holds true
Career
I work with Azure a lot. And as a Solutions Architect, I often find myself seeking answers to rather deep questions, refreshing my memory on old tech or concepts, or seeking new technology or solutions to solve my problems. I admit, it's extremely hard to keep up. Whatever
Kubernetes
A few quick and easy ways to switch contexts rapidly.
Kubernetes
Logically isolate and group objects inside of Kubernetes with loose coupling.
manager
Find the courage to slow down so you can speed up. This counterintuitive approach is indubitably the most effective way to create a high-performing team or organization.
git
There are several out there, and a lot of opinions to go with them. Having served in a consulting capacity for many organizations, ranging from small startups to very large enterprises, I have seen all of the major strategies. I've even seen organizations make up their own strategies
Azure Kubernetes Service
At my current company, the powers that be have bought into a multi-cluster approach. I'm not saying 1 cluster per environment or region. No. I'm saying 1 non-production and 1 production cluster per system per region. Essentially, each team gets their own pair of clusters in
DevSecOps
The term "Pipelines as Code" means that you are defining the process through which your code moves from source control, all the way to running in production. This practice is absolutely necessary if you want to build a high performing development process that allows your system to be
Azure Kubernetes Service
Did you know that Terraform can run kubectl commands? Yep! There's a provider for Kubernetes. The Kubernetes provider has a growing list of resources that you can manage via Terraform. For instance, you could declaratively and explicitly manage Kubernetes permissions via Terraform by defining roles and role bindings.
Kubernetes
For teams that are looking to build out a Kubernetes cluster and migrate their applications, my first reaction is always the same, no matter the skill-level and capability of the team. Here's something of how the conversation goes: First, let's identify your Kubernetes administrators and let
Kubernetes
To put it simply, a StatefulSet should be used to govern one or more related pods that need to track state in some way. A StatefulSet would be what you use instead of a Deployment. StatefulSets are a particularly cool implementation detail among Kubernetes workload APIs. It works very similarly
Career
When getting started with Kubernetes, I was extremely lost. I tried jumping straight into the Kubernetes documentation, but I wasn't able to make sense of it all and where to begin. It's okay if that's where you are – that's totally normal. So,
