Modern applications are transformed to microservice based, API driven architecture. When the application is containerized, it needs to access other applications’ published APIs and K8s cluster API for its business logic. In this article, an python application is containerized, its container image is built and pushed into docker register, an kubernetes manifest is created andContinue reading “Access K8s API within Container”

Two Key Takeaways from F5 Agility Conference
Digital transform will change the way of code development, service delivery, daily working style and more. How do we adapt to this change? We need to adopt a batch of new technologies, culture changes and promote new best practices. From a technology point of view, a shift from monolithic way of development to cloud native,Continue reading “Two Key Takeaways from F5 Agility Conference”
Four Steps to achieve the ultimate CI/CD goals with Kubernetes
Zero downtime, Zero traffic performance penalty and metric impact are the ultimate goals of enterprise level CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continue Delivering) workflow in cloud native environment. This can not be achieved by a single piece of tools. We need multiple solutions working together. Kubernetes software release rollup and rollback with canary release support itself is notContinue reading “Four Steps to achieve the ultimate CI/CD goals with Kubernetes”
Infrastructure Orchestrator for Cloud Computing
Cloud computing provides huge benefits for almost all existing business use cases. XaaS is a popular term in our daily life. Just like computers provide a huge productivity boost for our daily life, it comes with some kind of overhead.
