Containers

Getting Started with Linux Containers: A Beginner's Guide

A container comprises no operating system images in contrast to a server or virtualized machine. Due to this, they are lighter, more portable, and have less overhead. By using containers, operating systems can be virtualized. Microservices, software processes, and applications may all be run in one container. Among the files in a container are executables, binary code, libraries, and configuration files.

Debugging Applications in Production with Service Mesh

As an application developer, have you ever had to troubleshoot an issue that only happens in production? Bugs can occur when your application gets released into the wild, and they can be extremely difficult to debug when you cannot reproduce without production data. In this blog, I am going to show you how to safely send your production data to development applications deployed using a service mesh to help you better debug and build production proof releases.

The Role of Kubernetes in Production Traffic Replication

Organizations are starting to realize that simply writing tests to generate traffic is simply not good enough. Rather, production traffic replication is now necessary, where you record traffic from your production environment and then replay it in your development environment. To match the modern principles of this testing methodology, it makes sense to also utilize modern infrastructure, like Kubernetes.

Optimizing Your Kubernetes Load Testing with Speedscale

One of the major factors that come into play when deciding on a load testing tool is whether it can perform as you expect it to. There are many ways to measure how well a load testing tool performs, with the amount of requests per second undoubtedly being one of the main ways. Speedscale creates load tests from recorded traffic, so generating load is at the core of the tool.

Introducing Kong Gateway Operator

In our next #KongBuilders #livestream on November 16, Viktor Gamov from Kong will deep dive into Kong Gateway Operator. Kong Gateway Operator is a next-generation deployment mechanism founded on the operator pattern that allows Kong Gateways to be provisioned in a dynamic and Kubernetes-native way, enabling automation of Kong cluster operations and management of the Gateway lifecycle.

Health Check Command in Docker

Development is more reliable and streamlined with Docker. With Docker, developers can design fast, easy, and portable applications - both on desktops and in the cloud - by terminating redundant, mundane configuration tasks. Furthermore, to UIs, CLIs, APIs, and security, Docker's integrated end-to-end platform is built to incorporate across the entire application delivery pipeline. In Docker Containers, the HEALTH CHECK instruction determines their health status.

Configuring & Debugging a Multibranch Kubernetes-Native Pipeline with Argo

We always want to use the best of the best when it comes to Kubernetes tooling. We keep up with the latest projects, download them when ready to try them out, and see where they could fit in our development work here at Rookout. As part of our migration to Kubernetes native tools, our most important goal is to make it seamless and smooth so our developers will stay agile, fast, and happy. For some of that migration, we’ve faced some challenges, particularly with pipelines.

Introducing Kong Gateway Operator

Kong Gateway Operator is a next-generation deployment mechanism founded on the operator pattern that allows Kong Gateways to be provisioned in a dynamic and Kubernetes-native way, enabling automation of #Kong cluster operations and management of the Gateway lifecycle. In this video @Viktor Gamov , a principal developer advocate with @Kong demonstrates how to install Kong Gateway Operator, how to enable HTTP routes and how to upgrade Kong Gateway in seconds without downtime.

Leveraging SoapUI and Testkube to Test your APIs Under Kubernetes

With APIs consuming the world of software, and microservices conquering the land of monoliths, how are organizations handling their API estates at scale? Kubernetes, the container orchestration system, has been an extremely popular choice for many to deal with management, scaling, and deployment of microservices.
