In this post, I wanted to share some of our experience on how to deal with Rails 6 assets that use webpacker in Docker in a production environment.

How-to guide: A DaemonSet is a Kubernetes object that ensures that a (single) copy of a specific Pod is added to every Node. To illustrate the power of DaemonSets, we're going to walk through how to set up DataDog logging for a Kubernetes-powered application using Maestro and a DaemonSet.

A new feature at Cloud 66 Maestro - a managed Kubernetes infrastructure tool.
Fast Deployments are designed to push out changes to code and/or images and run deploy commands (such as DB migrations), and to leave the application configuration and structure unchanged.

Trackman is a command-line tool and Go library that runs multiple commands in a workflow. It supports parallel steps, step dependencies, async steps, and success checkers.

Since its beginnings, Google cloud has had an identity crisis. They entered the market after AWS and Microsoft and tried to find a unique angle that makes them different from the other two...

An Omakase approach to containerized infrastructure can be a great facilitator in growing the pie for everyone involved. Omakase vendors can navigate customer requirements without the rigidity of set menus at much lower costs than custom á la carte options provided by consultancies...

Setting up HA on your Kubernetes cluster is certainly the next logical step in bringing Kubernetes to the prime-time. That said, the process of configuring and maintaining the cluster still presents some challenges! I'm hopeful that advancements in the Kubernetes project will help to reduce some of those challenges in the future.

A step by step guide on how to set up secure endpoints in Kubernetes.

In microservices architecture, a Service Mesh is a set of components that act as an intermediary to intercept and redirect traffic between your services. This is useful in many scenarios from access authorization to support for canary releases, blue/green deployments and more.

Having a Kubernetes cluster is the first step towards building a more resilient and scalable infrastructure. While building a Kubernetes cluster is becoming easier every day, building a solid deployment pipeline to deploy our applications onto can feel a bit scary. It shouldn’t be. Let’s see what we need to deploy our applications onto a cluster in a safe, secure, reliable and repeatable way.

Containers are a great way to realize the promise of a microservices architecture, but in production, containerization is not going to work without developers’ involvement and buy-in.

Each side of this equation (Dev and Ops) has its own vendors, tools, and open source projects to help them with what it takes to move to a containerized world—but that’s not enough.

Transform configuration files based on custom scripts. An elegant and understandable equivalent of XSLT but for JSON and YAML!

While Alterant can be used with any JSON or YAML file, it is most useful if you use it with Kubernetes configuration files. Kubernetes configuration files describe how infrastructure resources should be deployed and configured on a cluster. However, a lot of times we find ourselves applying the same modifications to many of them.

[Step-by-step] We've deployed a sample web service application onto DigitalOcean’s brand new managed Kubernetes service with Cloud 66 Skycap.

With Kubernetes firmly established as the way to orchestrate container-based applications, all major cloud providers have rolled out their managed Kubernetes products - and we tested it.
