Using Vertical Pod Autoscaler to patch the Kubernetes resource limits/requests Problem Introduction: In Part 1, We have seen how to automate the process of increasing the limits/requests for the pods memory/cpu using the webhook alerts feature of alert manager and webhook triggered pipelines of spinnaker. But what value should we patch? How to decide on the optimal values for cpu/memory as these values varies from application […] Vardhan NS June 28, 2022 Share What Is Infrastructure as Code (IaC)? Introduction The last decade has seen a radical shift in managing IT infrastructure. As a junior engineer, I worked as a UNIX and LINUX administrator. We had servers ranging from Large Solaris Frames to smaller outdated HPUX servers. At the end of my junior engineer tenure, we migrated to VMs. Managing VMs was easy, but […] Shashank Srivastava June 27, 2022 Share How to deploy applications safely with Argo and Spinnaker Businesses have rapidly embraced GitOps as a standard Kubernetes deployment strategy as it helps them deploy applications in the shortest possible time. This is enabled by Argo, the most popular GitOps tool for rapid deployments. Argo Rollout, a reliable Progressive Delivery tool for Kubernetes, provides deployment strategies like blue-green and canary deployments. Thus, with GitOps, […] Vardhan NS June 23, 2022 Share Self Tuning – Part 1. Using Spinnaker and Prometheus alert manager webhooks to adjust pod memory usage Problem Introduction: Kubernetes does a good job in self healing and application recovery from failure. New pods come up in the place of pods that crash. One reason for pods failing in kubernetes cluster is the memory consumed exceeding the limit set. In this case, kubernetes pods are OOM killed ( out of memory) and […] Gopal Jayanthi June 21, 2022 Share Is Jenkins enough for Continuous Delivery? Why do you need to modernize Jenkins pipelines with CD Automation? If there’s one Continuous Integration (CI) tool that software delivery teams swear by, it is undoubtedly Jenkins. Jenkins has been an indispensable CI tool for DevOps for over a decade. Jenkins is a flexible, open-source CI tool that software delivery teams use to build, […] Vardhan NS June 16, 2022 Share Terraform and Spinnaker – The dynamic duo for modern software delivery Introduction Modern software delivery demands that infrastructure should be automated, and delivery must be continuous. Spinnaker and Terraform are two outstanding open-source tools that complement each other and play an important role in the software delivery value chain . The former is a Continuous Delivery (CD) tool, and the latter is an infrastructure provisioning automation […] Shashank Srivastava June 14, 2022 Share How Spinnaker Simplifies Deployments Into Kubernetes What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes is a container orchestration framework that was developed by Google to manage docker containers. Kubernetes helps to manage applications that are running on hundreds or thousands of container environments. It can also manage applications running in different environments, like physical machines, virtual machines, or even hybrid deployment environments. Why Spinnaker for […] Shashank Srivastava June 6, 2022 Share Top Reasons to Integrate Jenkins with Spinnaker Jenkins as a butler for your build activities There is no doubt that Jenkins is essentially the most popular Continuous Integration (CI) tool in the world. Today, many organizations have extended it to handle Continuous Delivery (CD) but with mixed results.
