Catapult – Remote Monitoring Simplifying Kubernetes management requires more than installation and upgrades. To truly simplify the complexities that are inherent to Kubernetes a platform provider needs to reduce the burden across a variety of factors and increase the productivity of the operations teams tasked with operating the Kubernetes environment. For example; every request for
Cloud native scale, availability, resilience and velocity done easy using Kubernetes and microservices. If only it was as simple as that. Install Kubernetes, deploy your containers and like magic, you get all benefits of cloud native immediately. Unfortunately cloud native isn’t just about the tooling. Kubernetes enables cloud native, it doesn’t deliver cloud native. Not
What Is Zero Trust Networking and Why is it Important? What is a Zero Trust Network? Zero Trust Networking is an approach to network security that adopts a posture where the network is always assumed to be a hostile place in a company. This posture makes us go back in time when we have DMZ

It simplifies configuration of services on Kubernetes which can speed up the ability for developers to quickly use the platform without having to understand everything backing it. While many of the features Knative provides can be configured on their
In this article we talk about Kubernetes load balancing, specifically in the context of load balancing for your workloads that are deployed across multiple Kubernetes clusters across multiple public or hybrid cloud environments. Multi-Cloud Kubernetes Load Balancing Background Many organizations are moving workloads to the public cloud, and a big part of that transition involves
Kubernetes follows certain rules and policies when it comes to networking, and it’s not uncommon to encounter issues when trying to connect applications running in Kubernetes. Even the most trivial deployment needs to have the correct configuration so that K8s can assign the right IP address or ingress controller to the service. Furthermore, if you
VMware Tanzu recently announced Community Edition (CE). A new flavor in their Kubernetes based Tanzu platform. As I learned more, it got me wondering how our Managed Kubernetes (PMK) free tier compared to it. Tanzu CE is meant for test, discovery, and pre-production scenarios. While our free tier is production ready. To be fair to
Most companies are at the early stages of the cloud-native journey and can benefit by leveraging knowledge and insight from others to accelerate this mission-critical transformation. Platform9 has spent the past eight years supporting companies like Juniper Networks, Kingfisher, and Redfin in their cloud-native journey, sharing and gathering best practices along the way. Platform9 has
Prior to the advent of Kubernetes, in the so-called “bare-metal” era, networking was primarily confined to physical peripherals, such as network interfaces, cables, switches and routers, and other components of Layer 2 of the OSI model. When virtual machines were introduced, along with virtual networks, overlays, and the like, the concept of networking shifted from
