Organizations are quickly migrating from virtual machines (VMs) to a cloud-native platform constructed around container technologies like Kubernetes to deal with high application availability, easier scalability and resilience. In this blog, we discuss key factors to consider while migrating VM-based applications to Kubernetes. This may be useful for those who are currently running their microservices...
As organizations race to be cloud-ready and cloud-first, digital transformation is a priority. In the last 2 years, this has been further accelerated by the pandemic. In a complex cloud environment, businesses are striving to scale up with high-performing, resilient and secure infrastructure for their applications. However, the downside to this is that operational and...
Cloud Native vs Cloud Agnostic: How to Decide between these two Architectures? As enterprises move towards cloud adoption, they often get caught up in a common yet entangling debate on cloud architecture: should they opt for cloud native or cloud agnostic? If we were to consider their applicability, it is obvious that they are not...
Apache Spark is a large-scale open-source data processing framework. Databricks is a Unified Analytics Platform that builds on top of Apache Spark to enable provisioning of clusters and add highly scalable data pipelines. Further Databricks includes an integrated workspace for collaboration in an easy to-use environment. For the user, it becomes handy to schedule any...
In a previous blog, “Kubernetes v/s Docker Swarm – Which is The Right One for You?”, we talked about how there is a pressing need for organizations to have high-quality software running reliably while moving from one computing environment to another – especially as supporting ecosystems, network topographies, security policies, and storage solutions change. Both...
With software making the world go round, the need to get high-quality software running reliably when moved from one computing environment to another has now become essential. Despite differences in supporting environments, network topography, security policies, or storage, the software has to run reliably. This was a considerable challenge until Containers exploded on the scene...
Apache Spark is a large-scale open-source data processing framework. The standalone Spark cluster consists of a master node and multiple worker nodes. However, as the need to scale up and down becomes crucial with unpredictable load, it is better to migrate standalone spark applications to Kubernetes. With an extensible open-source orchestration platform like Kubernetes, master...
Why is Jenkins so famous? It is well known that Jenkins is one of the first Java-based open-source automation testing tools that appeared in the market before the cloud era. It allows developers to test their products or software on-the-go. It also offers a wide range of plugins for continuous integration and delivery. Many developers...
AWS Cost depends on various services in use. The cost of each of these services in turn depends on many factors. In this blog we will look at a few common workloads, the AWS services they typically use and how to contain cost for each one of them. AWS well architected framework has a Cost...
Everything has a life and software applications are no exception. Legacy application modernization, re-hosting, re-platforming, re-factoring are few buzzwords being heard around the software industry. From ISVs to enterprises, everyone is talking about them. In a typical product life cycle, every product reaches a stage where it needs to modernize. We have seen even computationally...
