𝗘𝗡 👉 Kubernetes has revolutionized the management of applications in cloud environments and has established itself in many organizations, especially in those with a high demand for cloud flexibility and scalability. It is currently the most popular open-source tool for managing and scaling cloud containers. We have been building Kubernetes competencies at Beyond.pl for years. So far, they have been used for the implementation of complex cloud projects for clients and for internal purposes. Based on the experience gained, we have launched a service dedicated exclusively for the support of projects using K8s technology, Managed Kubernetes. 💡 As part of Managed Kubernetes, we design, implement, monitor, and develop customers' Kubernetes environments. We manage instances regardless of their location - they can be maintained locally, on-premise, at an external provider, or in our data centers. Find out more at 👉 https://bit.ly/3LlvRIo Why choose Managed Kubernetes from Beyond.pl? ✔ 2 types of support levels to choose from - SysOps, where we take care of Kubernetes architecture including system components, and DevOps which includes a comprehensive support of Kubernetes environments including in the application layer. ✔ Support provided by a team of certified specialists - the competencies in containerization support are confirmed by certificates held by internal and external experts cooperating with us. ✔ Time and cost savings - you reduce operational costs, including those related to building internal competencies, and gain more time to focus on strategic initiatives. ✔ Quick access to other IT services - extending support to managed services areas - Managed Network, Disaster Recovery, BaaS, and IT infrastructure maintenance services (colocation, dedicated infrastructure, and managed cloud in multiple models). ✔ Ready-to-go kubernetes cluster - for companies starting out with K8s, we offer the e24kubernestes solution, a configured and ready-to-go environment developed and maintained in the e24cloud. It allows you to quickly deploy Kubernetes clusters without the need to have administrative expertise or to invest into IT infrastructure costs. ✔ Secure location of kubernetes environments - the infrastructure on which kubernetes clusters are maintained at Beyond.pl (e24kubernetes) is located in Data Center 2, one of the most secure data centres in Poland and the EU (ANSI/TIA-942 Rated 4 and EN 50600 Class 4 certification). ✔ Reducing the carbon footprint of the company's IT infrastructure - our data center where Kubernetes clusters are hosted uses 100% renewable energy for power, has high energy efficiency (PUE 1.2) and a low water consumption rate (WUE), placing it among the European leaders in low-carbon facilities. By choosing to locate your K8s instance at Beyond.pl, you are reducing the carbon footprint generated by your company's IT resources. We look forward to working with you! #beyondpl #datacenter #cloud #managedservices #kubernetes

[MSTS23] 🔹Observational Analytics at Scale with Azure Data Explorer 🔹Anshul Sharma, Pawel Potasinski Azure Data Explorer, aka Kusto, is a hidden gem of Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform. Its origin came from the Power BI team, who wanted to run ad-hoc queries on the massive telemetry data stream produced by Power BI service. Over time it appeared there are many more internal and external customers looking the technology that would help ingest, store, and analyze ad-hoc large amounts of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. Come to this session to get an introduction to Kusto, understand what analytical scenarios Kusto can address, see it in action (demo, demo, demo...) and find out how you can learn Data Explorer for free. 🔗https://lnkd.in/dvbveAPj

Navigating the Complexities of Istio: Pros and Cons from a Current Project 🚀 In our latest project, we've implemented Istio as our service mesh of choice to manage communication between services in our Kubernetes clusters. As with any technology, there are advantages and drawbacks. Here, I'll share our hands-on experience with Istio, outlining both its strengths and the challenges we faced. Pros of Using Istio Enhanced Traffic Management 🚦: One of Istio's standout features is its sophisticated traffic management capabilities. We've leveraged it to perform canary releases, which has been instrumental in reducing deployment risks by gradually shifting traffic to new versions of services. Robust Security Features 🔒: Istio's built-in security mechanisms, which include strong identity-based authentication and authorization, have simplified the way we enforce security policies across our services. This has been a game changer in how we handle security at the service level. Observability 👀: Istio provides deep insights into our cluster's traffic patterns and metrics without modifying our applications. The detailed telemetry data on service performance and the overall health of our applications have proven invaluable for proactive monitoring and troubleshooting. Cons of Using Istio Complexity 🧩: Istio's robust functionality comes with a steep learning curve. Our team spent considerable time understanding and configuring Istio correctly, which initially slowed our progress. Resource Overhead 📉: Running Istio involves additional CPU and memory consumption on our cluster. We've had to carefully manage our resources to balance the overhead introduced by Istio with our existing workload requirements. Upgrade Challenges 🔄: We've encountered difficulties during upgrades. Istio’s rapid release cycle and changes in configuration practices between versions have required us to dedicate effort towards ensuring that updates do not disrupt our existing deployments. Conclusion Implementing Istio has certainly empowered our team with better service management tools and enhanced security features, but it has also introduced complexities and resource management challenges. For organizations considering Istio, it’s crucial to weigh these factors against your specific needs and capabilities. The benefits of advanced traffic management and security must be balanced with the readiness to tackle its learning curve and resource demands. Would I recommend Istio? Absolutely, but with the caveat that any team considering its adoption should be prepared for the initial investment in learning and infrastructure adjustment. The payoff in terms of network transparency, control, and security is substantial and can transform how you manage inter-service communications in a cloud-native environment. #Istio #ServiceMesh #Kubernetes #DevOps #CloudComputing #Microservices #TechInsights #SoftwareDevelopment #ITSecurity #NetworkManagement

How can we distinguish AWS Amplify from AppSync? 🤸​ While talking about AppSync on Community Day Poland, I noticed people need clarification about these excellent services and their purposes. Even though they are both related to GraphQL, they serve different purposes. Let's discuss several features of both. 💻​ Amplify is a multi-purpose service whose main element is CLI. It can connect the API, front end, storage, and authentication. The user can use traditional REST with API Gateway or AppSync with GraphQL. The latter service is also having similar capabilities but without front-end and CLI. 🏆 Amplify focuses on developer productivity, which means that the engineer can achieve the goal of delivering features faster. AppSync will provide different services because one must choose the IaC tool, which could now be CDK, Terraform, Pulumi, or something totally different. Amplify is a more opinionated way of building applications because it enforces specific folder structures, for example, with specific tools to use. ​🌎​ Furthermore, the naming of the services gives a hint. Amplify is about increasing or enlarging the experience, while AppSync is more about coordinating the parts. Both services are good at what they can do, but Amplify is more potent with the lock-to-specific way of building apps. Please let me know if you have experience using Amplify and AppSync in the comments. #aws #devops #cloud #awscommunity #sorokatech
