The Ingress resource is one of the many Kubernetes success stories. It created a diverse ecosystem of Ingress controllers which were used across hundreds of thousands of clusters in a standardized and consistent way. This standardization helped users adopt Kubernetes. However, five years after the creation of Ingress, there are signs of fragmentation into different but strikingly similar CRDs and overloaded annotations. The same portability that made Ingress pervasive also limited its future.

At <a href="https://www.datawire.io" target="_blank">Datawire</a>, all of our cloud services are developed and deployed on Kubernetes. When we started developing services, we noticed that getting code changes into Kubernetes was a fairly tedious process. Typically, we had to:

Kubernetes for Prod, Tilt for Dev

Kairos is an open-source Linux-based operating system designed for securely running Kubernetes at the edge. It provides immutable, declarative infrastructure with features like P2P clustering, trusted boot, and A/B upgrades.

Note: If this topic has peaked your interest, you can join me for a Webinar on August 15 where I’ll dive deep into Cloud Native Operations with Kubernetes and CI/CD Pipelines. Introduction Welcome to a three part blog series on Creating a Helm Chart Repository. In part 1 I will demonstrate creating a Helm chart repository using GitHub and GitHub Pages. In part 2 I will add Automation to automatically update the repository, and in part 3 I will add testing for changes to the charts themselves.

Despite Kubernetes' own declarative API, and the obvious benefits of maintaining a cluster's infrastructure and services from the same infrastructure as code repository, Terraform is far from the first choice to provision Kubernetes resources. Kubestack, the open-source Terraform framework I maintain, aims to provide the best developer experience for teams working with Terraform and Kubernetes.

K8s Cleaner is a powerful tool that automates the cleanup of unused resources in Kubernetes clusters, ensuring optimal performance and resource utilization.
