Let’s install kubecost in 1 minute and get a fine grain report of your K8S expenses

ArgoCD is a fantastic tool to deploy applications via GitOps. You can defined all your kubernetes manifests in git and have ArgoCD watch them for changes. It’s a very popular product used to manage resources in kubernetes.

There are a couple syncing options that you can use, automated, self health or manually sync. I would love to see some kind of approval process in the future. Let’s build one.

Podinfo is a tiny web application made with Go that showcases best practices of running microservices in Kubernetes. Podinfo is used by CNCF projects like Flux and Flagger for end-to-end testing and workshops.

KubeMod is a universal Kubernetes mutating operator.

It introduces ModRule - a custom Kubernetes resource that can intercept the deployment of any Kubernetes object and apply targeted modifications to it, or reject it before it is deployed to the cluster.

Flox is a virtual environment and package manager all in one. With Flox you create environments that layer and replace dependencies just where it matters, making them portable across the full software lifecycle.

DrawDB is a robust and user-friendly database entity relationship (DBER) editor right in your browser. Build diagrams with a few clicks, export sql scripts, customize your editor, and more without creating an account.

A PostgreSQL extension for recommending indexes to improve query performance.

Generating OpenTofu or Terraform from existing cloud resources is a tedious process fraught with gotchas. It's not a silver bullet for click-ops debt. This post will discuss caveats of tools and different approaches to generating IaC.

Lynx is a Fast, Secure and Reliable Terraform Backend. It is built in Elixir with Phoenix framework.

TL;DR: In this article, you will learn how to prevent broken connections when a Pod starts or shuts down. You will also learn how to shut down long-running tasks and connections gracefully.

Grafana Alloy is an open source OpenTelemetry Collector distribution with built-in Prometheus pipelines and support for metrics, logs, traces, and profiles.

This blog is to share with readers the experiences and experimentation results while deploying an on-premise Kubernetes service project.

Linux and Kubernetes share several foundational concepts due to Kubernetes being designed to run and manage containerized applications, with containers themselves being a Linux feature. However, Kubernetes extends far beyond just wrapping Linux features; it provides orchestration capabilities that are not native to Linux; But still in the heart Kubernetes is a wrapper of Linux features.

Note: This blog post delves into just a fragment of my professional realm, highlighting the dynamics between GitOps and Kubernetes. I frequently observe a neglect of culture and an oversight of potential within this scope. The focus here is on the most minimal aspect possible.
