Crossplane first look: What most people get wrong (and how to get it right)
This was originally posted on the New Stack here. A Flexible Framework Crossplane is a popular open source Cloud Native Computing Foundation project that provides a framework to help you build your own opinionated cloud native control plane – complete with all of the policy, best practices and configuration that’s important to your organization.
How Yarn Workspaces Accelerated LinkedIn Code Delivery
Here’s a familiar story: A monolithic code base grows and grows to meet the demands for new features and an enlarging user base. Unclear ownership, increased build times, a disproportionate number of testing per application are but a few of the headaches that ensue. So the story goes for how the monolith outlived its useful lifespan. And one by one, unrelated product areas were decoupled and a distributed system was built in its place.
Crossplane: What Most People Get Wrong (and How to Get It Right)
Crossplane is a popular open source Cloud Native Computing Foundation project that provides a framework to help you build your own opinionated cloud native control plane — complete with all of the policies, best practices and configurations that are important to your organization. A vibrant and healthy community has rallied around the project as a neutral place for vendors and individuals to come together and collaborate on enabling a new approach to managing all of your resources.
C++ 23 Standard Won’t Have a Key Parallelism Feature
The next version of the C++ standard coming up next year won’t have a key feature that makes it easier to write code for execution in parallel computing environments.
How to Work with Protocols and Get Started with ActivityPub
How to Work with Protocols and Get Started with ActivityPub tutorial, A crash course in using protocols — and understanding how they are different from APIs — using ActivityPub as an example. This article underlines some of the preparation needed to code against a protocol and ends by looking at ActivityPub as an example. We also dip into my previous set of posts on a hypothetical decentralized social media model. Protocols appear all through computing.
Kubernetes 101: Deploy Your First Application with MicroK8s
Kubernetes 101: Deploy Your First Application with MicroK8s How to deploy your first application to a Kubernetes cluster and then make that application accessible outside of the cluster. Kubernetes is challenging. Of that, there is no debate. Not only are there a lot of moving parts that go into deploying a container to a Kubernetes cluster, but so much can go wrong along the way. To complicate matters even further, deploying the Kubernetes cluster can be a hair-pulling affair.
Goat: A Proposed 'Extended Flavor' of the Go Programming Language
The idea came in April.
Hardware Independence Is Critical to Innovation in Machine Learning
We’re in the midst of a storm. On one side we have a global chip shortage with no end in sight, forcing major companies to re-forecast their targets for products. On the other, there’s a race between the big hardware players (e.g., Intel, Nvidia, Arm) and smaller, more specialized chip startups (e.g., Cerebras Systems and Ampere Computing) all vying for dominance in artificial intelligence.
Realizing the Dream of Cloud Native Application Portability
Realizing the Dream of Cloud Native Application Portability contributed,sponsor-kasten,sponsored,sponsored-post-contributed, Cloud Native Ecosystem / Kubernetes / Operations What do organizations want from cloud native application portability? Why is it so difficult? And most importantly, how do you get it right? Moving an application from one place to another sounds simple: zip it up, ship it over and unzip it. What’s so hard about that?
Composing a Platform by Patching Crossplane Resources
Composing a Platform by Patching Crossplane Resources contributed,sponsor-upbound,sponsored,sponsored-post-contributed, API Management / DevOps Tools / Software Development A control-plane-based architecture gives you a declarative approach to managing resources, eliminating configuration drift and enforcing policy. Crossplane was one of the most discussed topics of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2022.
SRE Fundamentals: Differences Between SLI vs. SLO vs. SLA
SRE Fundamentals: Differences Between SLI vs. SLO vs. SLA contributed,sponsor-chronosphere,sponsored,sponsored-post-contributed, These acronyms represent ways to quantify your commitments to system uptime and measure how successfully your site reliability engineering team is meeting them. When you move business-critical applications or infrastructure to the cloud, site reliability engineering (SRE) emerges as an extremely important enterprise function.
APIs Are Where Fun Happens
APIs Are Where Fun Happens contributed,sponsor-stepzen,sponsored,sponsored-post-contributed, GraphQL APIs go from being gateways to backends to being gateways for applications to do magic. We are living the API economy, and it is fueling the evolution of the digital world. Every day, new companies whose products are APIs are being created. New forms of APIs — GraphQL, gRPC — and new vendors around API, especially API security, are being created every month.
Case Study: How SeatGeek Adopted HashiCorp’s Nomad
LOS ANGELES — Kubernetes, the open source container orchestrator, may have a big footprint in the cloud native world, but some organizations are doing just fine without it. Take, for example, SeatGeek, which runs a mobile application that serves as a primary and secondary market for event tickets. Case Study: How SeatGeek Adopted HashiCorp’s Nomad For cloud infrastructure, the 12-year-old company’s workloads — which include non-containerized applications — have largely run on Amazon Web Services.
10 Ways to Manage API Security Risks
In a world where the information age is at its zenith, with hundreds of thousands of applications being launched every day, the use and demand for application programming interfaces (APIs) has increased significantly. Powered by open web technologies, APIs have transformed interdependence and partnerships between various commercial enterprises and sectors, allowing them to extend their offerings through in-app connections.
Why Cloud Data Egress Is Expensive
It is no secret that businesses new to running in the cloud are often gut-punched by unexpected data transit charges on their monthly invoices. There are many business and technical reasons these charges, often referred to as “data egress” fees, can grow out of control. But there are ways to make them more predictable, which often requires knowledge and resources that most companies don’t have on staff.
