What is Amazon EKS?
Kubernetes has proved an invaluable containerization tool since its inception. It increases application portability, enhances multi-cloud capability, and boosts developer productivity.
etcd & Kubernetes: What You Should Know
Kubernetes is architected as a set of microservices that manage the lifecycle of containers and coordinate application management tasks such as configuration, deployment, service discovery, load balancing, scheduling, scaling, and monitoring across a fleet of clusters. The microservices-based architecture of the Kubernetes control plane offers the flexibility and resiliency to scale up and down according to the demands of the workloads.
Rafay Enhances Kubernetes Operations Platform with Enterprise-Grade Security, Standardization and Automation Capabilities
Over the past several years we’ve experienced a tremendous amount of change in the Kubernetes management and container orchestration market. Years ago, Kubernetes was used to support a relatively small number of clusters in lab environments, handling mostly corner use cases, and seen as a simple cluster management tool that was used by DevOps and IT Ops.

It’s Official: Rafay’s Cloud-based Kubernetes Management Solution is a Hit With Enterprises (800% ARR growth YoY)
Years ago at another company where my co-founder, Hemanth Kavuluru, and I built the security industry’s first software-defined perimeter (SDP) platform, we spent just as much time wrestling with application and infrastructure orchestration as we did developing the solution we were actually selling. Back then, Kubernetes wasn’t yet a thing, but a number of container orchestration platforms were in use by early adopters.
What Is a Helm Chart? The Complete Guide
The declarative model of Kubernetes uses Kubernetes Objects stored in configuration files which are essentially a set of YAML files. For every version and instance of a Kubernetes application that DevOps personnel deploy and run in their environments, a set of YAML files need to be created and managed.
Helm Chart Hooks Tutorial
Helm chart hooks are a useful tool in your Kubernetes deployments and are used to perform certain actions at specific points in a release cycle. Helm supports a variety of hooks and this blog serves as a tutorial to help you quickly learn how and when you can use them to make your kubernetes management process as efficient and repeatable as possible.
