Free Resources: Kubernetes & Containers
Advanced Kubernetes [Refcard Update]
Kubernetes is a distributed cluster technology that manages container-based systems in a declarative manner using an API. There are currently many learning resources to get started with the fundamentals of Kubernetes, but there is less information on how to manage Kubernetes infrastructure on an ongoing basis. This Refcard aims to deliver quick, accessible information for operators using any Kubernetes product.
Managing Kubernetes: From a Small Fleet to a Navy of Clusters
To keep pace with the ever-changing digital landscape, organizations are adopting open source and cloud native technologies at an incredible pace. But as the number of clusters and workloads grow, it can become increasingly difficult to know where clusters exist and how they are performing. And if multiple teams are provisioning and using clusters with different policies, roles, and configurations, you might as well jump ship. Because before you know it, you’ll begin to experience cluster sprawl, and your multi-cluster operations will potentially capsize before you reach shore. So how do you effectively monitor and manage disparate clusters and contain the chaos of sprawl?
In this eBook, you’ll learn:
- The causes and consequences of cluster sprawl
- How to build or evolve your cluster governance policies
- How D2iQ’s Kommander can deliver centralized governance and contain sprawl

Six Steps to Comprehensive Container Security
An application or service that you develop once to run in multiple clouds has a clear advantage over one that is bound to a single OS or runtime environment. Container technology makes it possible, but container security vulnerabilities are beginning to surface. We describe 6 steps you can take to ensure that container security doesn’t become a DevOps roadblock.

50+ Useful Kubernetes Tools for 2020 - Part 2
Introduction
Last year, we provided a list of Kubernetes tools that proved so popular we have decided to curate another list of some useful additions for working with the platform—among which are many tools that we personally use here at Caylent. Check out the original tools list here in case you missed it.
According to a recent survey done by Stackrox, the dominance Kubernetes enjoys in the market continues to be reinforced, with 86% of respondents using it for container orchestration.
And as you can see below, more and more companies are jumping into containerization for their apps. If you’re among them, here are some tools to aid you going forward as Kubernetes continues its rapid growth.

Kubernetes in the Cloud: Strategies for Effective Multi Cloud Implementations
Kubernetes is a highly popular container orchestration platform. Multi cloud is a strategy that leverages cloud resources from multiple vendors. Multi cloud strategies have become popular because they help prevent vendor lock-in and enable you to leverage a wide variety of cloud resources. However, multi cloud ecosystems are notoriously difficult to configure and maintain.
This article explains how you can leverage Kubernetes to reduce multi cloud complexities and improve stability, scalability, and velocity.
Kubernetes: Your Multi Cloud Strategy
Maintaining standardized application deployments becomes more challenging as your number of applications and the technologies they are based on increase. As environments, operating systems, and dependencies differ, management and operations require more effort and extensive documentation.
In the past, teams tried to get around these difficulties by creating isolated projects in the data center. Each project, including its configurations and requirements were managed independently. This required accurately predicting performance and the number of users before deployment and taking down applications to update operating systems or applications. There were many chances for error.
Kubernetes can provide an alternative to the old method, enabling teams to deploy applications independent of the environment in containers. This eliminates the need to create resource partitions and enables teams to operate infrastructure as a unified whole.
In particular, Kubernetes makes it easier to deploy a multi cloud strategy since it enables you to abstract away service differences. With Kubernetes deployments you can work from a consistent platform and optimize services and applications according to your business needs.
The Compelling Attributes of Multi Cloud Kubernetes
Multi cloud Kubernetes can provide multiple benefits beyond a single cloud deployment. Below are some of the most notable advantages.
Stability
In addition to the built-in scalability, fault tolerance, and auto-healing features of Kubernetes, multi cloud deployments can provide service redundancy. For example, you can mirror applications or split microservices across vendors. This reduces the risk of a vendor-related outage and enables you to create failovers.

Webinar: Self-service of Cloud Resources for Kubernetes Applications
Kubernetes has emerged to be the infrastructure solution for many businesses when working with containers. There has been a lot of extensibility in the industry around using Kubernetes as a way to automate other infrastructure requirements. We will look into current and emerging technologies around cloud service automation, from the terraform operator through to service brokers, with a view for developers being able to self-serve cloud services.
In this webinar we will:
- Discuss best practices around self-service of Cloud Services for Kubernetes applications; ensuring security, supporting agile development and reducing workloads
- Talk about Kubernetes extensibility, from open service broker API through to Operators
- Discuss major cloud vendors approaches, GCP, AWS and Azure and the direction they’re heading in when it comes to cloud service automation through Kubernetes
- Talk about how to adopt an approach for portability across the changing and evolving landscape
- Compare varying solutions in the industry with pros and cons

Microsoft Announces General Availability Of Bridge To Kubernetes
Recently, Microsoft announced the general availability of Bridge to Kubernetes, formerly known as Local Process with Kubernetes. It is an iterative development tool offered in Visual Studio and VS Code, which allows developers to write, test as well as debug microservice code on their development workstations while consuming dependencies and inheriting the existing configuration from a Kubernetes environment.
Nick Greenfield, Program Manager, Bridge to Kubernetes stated in an official blog post, “Bridge to Kubernetes is expanding support to any Kubernetes. Whether you’re connecting to your development cluster running in the cloud, or to your local Kubernetes cluster, Bridge to Kubernetes is available for your end-to-end debugging scenarios.”
Bridge to Kubernetes provides a number of compelling features. Some of them are mentioned below-
