As the demand for serverless computing continues to rise, WebAssembly (WASM) is emerging as a game-changer in the industry. With the potential to simplify the deployment and management of serverless applications, WASM could even surpass Kubernetes as the go to defacto platform for application deployment and management. WASM addresses some potential flaws in Kubernetes, such […] Read More
I don’t have to remind anyone of the importance of security and threat detection when it comes to protecting your critical systems, applications and the data being created. For the most part i’ve spent my time in IT worrying about the design and implementation fo end user platforms and data protection, and have always […] Read More
Creatures of Adaptation Living and working in global societies means that in both our real locales and our virtual communities we exist in ever expanding multicultural societies. More than ever, we are aware of different languages being spoken around us, and that our own native tongue is not always understood by those we need to […] Read More
As the use of containerized applications becomes more mainstream (driven by modern application development), so does the need to control costs. For those that are using Kubernetes platforms… in general it is difficult to monitor the costs of Kubernetes resources. There is a black box of operation happening and it is challenging to know which […] Read More
Real word Kubernetes… that is a slightly tongue in cheek title however in reading through a lot of blogs and how-to’s around Kubernetes, I never get a sense of real world application for Infrastructure and Platform Ops who are trying to get their hands dirty or even just understand what it is to run production […] Read More

Kasten by Veeam is no different to this, and today released K10 v4.5.0. Though there have been […] Read More
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a quick post about Longhorn as a storage provider for my Kubernetes labs. While that has worked pretty well, I thought I would look at some other alternatives and see how they compare. I have seen Rook-Ceph referenced and used before, but I never looked at installing it […] Read More
I’ve been using MetalLB for a while now in my Kubernetes Clusters and it’s a great easy way to achieve high availability networking for service endpoints. For an overview of MetalLB, head to this earlier post. When initially deploying MetalLB, I usually configure a fairly small address pool for the Layer 2 mode configuration […] Read More
Somewhere along the line, someone decided to put a “Sec” in between “Dev” and “Ops”… and now it is a thing! I have historically reacted poorly to the xOps labels that have been flung around IT circles for a number of years now, but the reality is that a lot of these previous silos are […] Read More
For those old enough to remember, Longhorn was the codename for Windows Vista…so when I came across Longhorn in the Kubernetes world, I was drawn in. That said, I would hope that Longhorn isn’t what Vista was to horrible Operating Systems as to what Longhorn is to Kubernetes storage. Longhorn is touted as highly […] Read More
