Pulumi – Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Using Programming Languages
Pulumi allows us to manage infrastructure as code (IaC) using familiar programming languages. It is like Terraform, but without HCL.
GKE Autopilot – The First Fully Managed Kubernetes Service From Google
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Autopilot is a fully managed Kubernetes service. It is battle-tested and hardened based on best practices learned from Google SRE.
Couchbase – How To Run a Database Cluster in Kubernetes Using Argo CD
Couchbase is a distributed NoSQL cloud database. The Couchbase Autonomous Operator enables us to automate the management of common Couchbase tasks like, for example, configuration, scaling, and recovery. It lets us focus on the desired configuration and by automating deployment and life-cycle management.
In this video, we are going a step further and applying GitOps principles through ArgoCD.
Ketch – How to Simplify Kubernetes Deployments
Ketch makes it easy to deploy and manage applications on Kubernetes through a CLI. It removes the need to deal with Kubernetes complexity. It even removes the need to write YAML files.
Crossplane – GitOps-based Infrastructure as Code through Kubernetes API
Crossplane is an open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) project that enables us to use Kubernetes to provision and manage infrastructure, services, and applications. Combined with Argo CD or Flux, it allows us to apply GitOps principles not only on infrastructure.
Linode – The Fastest Cloud Computing Provider
Linode is a simple, cheap, and fast cloud computing provider. Should you use it? Does it have a good managed Kubernetes or any other "basic" cloud computing service?
Automation of Everything – How To Combine Argo Events, Workflows & Pipelines, CD, and Rollouts
What do we get if we combine events, workflows, GitOps, progressive delivery, and secrets management? The short answer is that we get automation of everything in Kubernetes in a way that we should be operating in 2021.
We’ll combine Argo Events, Workflows & Pipelines, CD, and Rollouts and sprinkle all that with SealedSecrets, Kaniko, and a few other tools.
Google Cloud vs AWS vs Azure vs Linode – Speed Comparison
Which cloud provider is the fastest? Is it Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Linode?
