This month on Linux.com, we published several cloud-related articles to help clarify a few underlying ideas as well as examine specific implementations.
Cloud Computing in Focus: Serverless, Microservices, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, and More
Cloud computing concepts can seem as nebulous as clouds themselves, but in April, we published several cloud-related articles to help clarify a few underlying ideas and look at some specific implementations.
This month, Swapnil Bhartiya tackled the subject of serverless computing with There’s a...

Implementing Advanced Scheduling Techniques with Kubernetes
One of the advantages of using an advanced container orchestration tool like Kubernetes is the flexible scheduler. This provides a wide range of options for users to specify conditions for assigning pods to particular worker nodes that satisfy a condition, and not just based on available resources...

Get details on the current status of the Fluentd ecosystem from Eduardo Silva in this preview from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon.
Fluent Bit: Flexible Logging in Kubernetes
Logging by nature is complex and in containerized environments there are new challenges that need to be addressed. In this article we will describe the current status of the Fluentd Ecosystem and how Fluent Bit (a Fluentd sub-project) is filling the gaps in cloud native environments. Finally we...

Where Is Serverless Computing Headed?
“Things are all moving very, very fast.”
That was one of the big takeaways from my conversation at the Open Source Leadership Summit with former RedMonk analyst Fintan Ryan last month. We were talking about the state of the serverless market. (Depending on who you ask, serverless is either the same...

Kubernetes StatefulSets gives you a set of resources to deal with stateful containers, such as: volumes and stable network ids; learn more in this preview from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon.
Extending Kubernetes API for Complex Stateful Applications using Operator
Conventional wisdom says you can’t run a database in a container because “Containers are stateless!” or “Databases are pointless without state!” However, this is not true any longer. We’ve been missing the right technology to support database running in a container.
Then came Kubernetes 1.5, which...

The Future of Kubernetes Is Serverless
As we move forward, it’s becoming increasingly clear (to me at least) that the future will be containerized and those containers will run on serverless infrastructure.
In this context, then, the obvious question is: “What becomes of orchestration in this serverless future?”
Kubernetes is a...

Extending the Kubernetes Cluster API
One major downside for developers is that Kubernetes has no native functionality to manage its nodes or other clusters. As a consequence, operations must get involved every time a new cluster or worker node is needed. Of course, several ways exist to create a cluster and also to create a new worker...

There’s a Server in Every Serverless Platform
Serverless computing or Function as a Service (FaaS) is a new buzzword created by an industry that loves to coin new terms as market dynamics change and technologies evolve. But what exactly does it mean? What is serverless computing?
Before getting into the definition, let’s take a brief history...

NOAA’s Mission Toward Open Data Sharing
The goal of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to put all of its data — data about weather, climate, ocean coasts, fisheries, and ecosystems – into the hands of the people who need it most. The trick is translating the hard data and making it useful to people who aren’t...
