How to use Kubernetes to fix GKE
I recently ran into a problem while using Google Container Engine (GKE), the managed Kubernetes by Google. This lead me to an interesting solution that can be used for a large range of issues you could encounter in Kubernetes. The Problem I was unsuccessfully trying to have my pods communicate with an application available through a VPN: everything was working as expected from a VM but the pods in the GKE cluster had no network connectivity with the services on the other side of the VPN.
AWS re:Invent 2016 - A recap (part II)
This is the second and last part of my AWS re:Invent recap. Go check out the first part if you haven’t done so already. In this second post, I will outline the products announced by Werner Wogels during his keynote. You will also find a small opinionated analysis of the impact of each product, based on the current market and ecosystem. I tagged the really important ones with a [Game Changer] in the title.
AWS re:Invent 2016 - A recap (part I)
Two weeks ago, thanks to my company, Oxalide, I had the chance to attend AWS re:Invent, in Las Vegas. This is the first part of a recap of all the announcements (yes, there are so many things to talk about that it doesn’t fit in a single post). You will also find a small opinionated analysis of the impact of each product, based on the current market and ecosystem. In this first post, I will outline the products announced by Andy Jassy during his keynote.
Gitlab on Kubernetes + AWS
Update March 2017: EFS now supports a single mount point for a volume, so the setup is now much easier because you don’t have to differentiate between AZs. Take that into account while following this blog post. Introduction In the last post we saw how to create a production-ready Kubernetes (K8s) cluster on AWS with Kops. Now, let’s see how to use it in conjunction with AWS managed services to host a highly available application: Gitlab.
Kubernetes on AWS - Kops
Introduction Kubernetes is the leading container orchestration solution. It promises to standardize the way you run applications, without worrying if you are running on bare-metal, on a public cloud provider or on a private cloud. AWS being the leading public cloud solution, it is important to be able to run Kubernetes easily on this provider. In this post, I will show you how to create a production-ready Kubernetes cluster on AWS from scratch.
