Stateful applications with Kubernetes

When containers became mainstream, they were designed to support ephemeral – stateless – workloads. Since then, a lot of effort has been made to support stateful applications in the container ecosystem, with a lot of that focus targeted towards better support from core Kubernetes. Stateful applications – and the data they contain – are extremely

Kubernetes Service Mesh: A Comparison of Istio, Linkerd, and Consul

Cloud-native applications are often architected as a constellation of distributed microservices, which are running in Containers. Increasingly, these containerized applications are Kubernetes-based, as it has become the de-facto standard for container orchestration. One outcome that most companies using microservices architecture don’t fully understand the impact of until they are well down the path is microservices

Kubernetes Security: What (and What Not) to Expect

When it comes to security, there is a lot that Kubernetes does. There is also a lot that it doesn’t do. To secure Kubernetes effectively for real-world deployment, you must understand which built-in security features Kubernetes offers and which it doesn’t, and how to leverage Kubernetes’s security capabilities at scale. Below, we walk through Kubernetes’s
