Enterprises are witnessing a radical transformation of the intelligent edge as a key strategic component of the future network. According to leading analysts, by 2025, 30 percent of workloads will run at the edge, up from only 1 percent today. Increasing amounts of enterprise generated data (more than 50 percent for many organizations) will be […]

Like many computing systems, your Kubernetes environment requires the use of sensitive information. Sensitive values (such as passwords, SSH keys, and security tokens) are referred to collectively as secrets. In this article, we will explain how to store and manage the secrets in your Kubernetes environment, and we will examine the capabilities of Kubernetes and

Kubernetes deployments can scale to support services and applications that run in a broad array of environments, from multi-cloud deployments to resource-constrained edge computing environments. But as businesses look to save money by optimizing infrastructural resources, the process of deploying thousands of microservices over geographically distributed servers can become increasingly complicated. If your company will

Kubernetes is widely recognized as a platform that enables highly efficient use of infrastructure, but organizations need to understand those benefits are maximized when the developer experience itself is optimized. Developers are increasingly assuming responsibilities for systems operations. In the past, it was common to have a separate team of systems administrators responsible for deploying

One of the things that makes Kubernetes so powerful is that it can run virtually anywhere: On bare metal servers and virtual machines, on-premises or in the public cloud. (These are overlapping categories to an extent, because an on-premises cluster could be hosted using bare-metal servers or virtual machines.) Yet the fact that Kubernetes can

Kubernetes is a complex platform that provides for highly scalable, efficient use of containers. Operating enterprise Kubernetes deployment is difficult. it can also be highly problematic for companies that just try to “wing it” and figure out what to do as they go along. Don’t let that be you. Here are some best practices to

High Availability (HA) and uptime may be similar concepts, but they’re not the same. Availability refers to how accessible your server is or how many people can connect to it; while uptime is about whether your server is even reachable. What this means is that if even a single connection to your server is possible,

When it comes to Kubernetes clusters, size matters. The number of nodes in your cluster plays an important role in determining the overall availability and performance of your workloads. So does the number of namespaces, in a way. This does not mean, however, that bigger is always better. A Kubernetes cluster sizing strategy that aims

Just as there are many parts that comprise Kubernetes, there are multiple ways to go about Kubernetes deployment. The best approach for your needs depends on your team’s technical expertise, your infrastructure availability (or lack thereof), your capital expenditure and ROI goals, and more. There are multiple ways to scale a Kubernetes environment to meet

There is a chasm between the public cloud operating model and how enterprises roll out their private cloud programs. Let’s review three crucial differences: Foundational cloud principle Public Cloud Approach Private Cloud Approach Closed-loop automated operations Public cloud vendors don’t roll out regions or services by hand. They invest heavily in internal IP to provision,

Containers and cellular networking are not usually part of the same conversation. Although both are important technologies, the use of containers in the cellular and telco space has been fleeting, so far. But that could change thanks to the challenges posed by the rise of 5G networks. In several respects, containers are the perfect solution

In the first part of this post, we looked at how Kubernetes addresses the need to mix and match hybrid infrastructures like cloud, edge, and on-premise, as well as how Kubernetes fights latency in edge environments with the help of agility, scalability, and HA features. In this post, we’re going to take a closer look
