1. “Introducing ClusterCreator: K8s on Proxmox using Terraform and Ansible” by Jairus Christensen.
“In January of 2024, I was searching for an open-source project that I could use to provision and bootstrap Kubernetes clusters on Proxmox infrastructure, much like a cloud provider does. Surprisingly, I didn’t find anything on GitHub that could easily provision and then bootstrap a K8s cluster for me! So I built my own. The final result is incredibly useful for my environment. I can create K8s clusters from scratch in minutes with as little as two commands! As a user, it’s almost just as easy as requesting a K8s cluster from a cloud provider, but all on Proxmox!”
2. “5 Lessons Learned Managing Kubernetes in Enterprise Organizations” by Brian Bensky, Fairwinds.
“[..] deploying Kubernetes at scale in enterprise environments presents unique challenges that are different from those faced in smaller companies. Let’s walk through the key lessons we’ve learned from enabling enterprise clients to deploy applications and services successfully to production environments.”
3. “A Hands-on Guide to OpenTelemetry - Manual Instrumentation for Developers” by Eric D. Schabell, Chronosphere.
“In this series you'll explore how to adopt OpenTelemetry (OTel) and how to instrument an application to collect tracing telemetry. You'll learn how to leverage out-of-the-box automatic instrumentation tools and understand when it's necessary to explore more advanced manual instrumentation for your applications. By the end of this series you'll have an understanding of how telemetry travels from your applications, to the OpenTelemetry Collector, and be ready to bring OpenTelemetry to your future projects.”
4. “Configure ArgoCD, Prometheus, Grafana & AWS Load Balancer Controller on EKS Cluster using Terraform” by Aman Pathak, AWS Community Builder.
“In today’s DevOps-driven world, automating infrastructure deployment is crucial for maintaining efficiency and scalability. Setting up a secure and robust EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) cluster, complete with essential tools like ArgoCD, Prometheus, and Grafana, requires careful planning and execution. This guide will walk you through the entire process, from configuring your environment to deploying your infrastructure using Terraform, ensuring that your private EKS cluster is up and running smoothly with all the necessary resources.”
5. “VictoriaLogs: an overview, run in Kubernetes, LogsQL, and Grafana” by Arseny Zinchenko.
“So, since monitoring in my project is built on VictoriaMetrics, and VictoriaLogs has already got the Grafana data source support, it’s time to try it out and compare it with Grafana Loki. [..] So what are we going to do today? Launch VictoriaLogs in Kubernetes; take a look at the capabilities of its LogsQL; connect the Grafana data source; will see how to create a dashboard in Grafana.”
6. “Forensic container checkpointing with CRIU in Kubernetes” by Seifeddine Rajhi, AWS Community Builder.
“Checkpointing is a technique for ensuring that applications can recover from failures and maintain their state. It captures the state of a running process, including its memory, file descriptors, and other metadata. In this demo, we’ll talk about the concept of Kubernetes checkpointing, its benefits, and how you can use it to improve your application’s fault tolerance. We will also dive into how CRIU (Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace) is used to implement this feature and explore some creative use cases.”
7. “Persistent Storage in Kubernetes: A Comprehensive Guide” by Senthil Raja Chermapandian.
“In this blog post, we will delve into the world of persistent storage in Kubernetes, exploring its importance, different types, and considerations for choosing the right solution. [..] Open source storage solutions include Ceph, GlusterFS, Rook, and OpenEBS.”
