    Digital transformation<\/span> is in abundance, thanks to the migration from mainframes<\/span> to datacentres and the explosion of cloud (and edge) computing<\/span>. Cloud<\/span> computing<\/span> is ubiquitous<\/span> in today’s technology<\/span>, and it would be hard to find a business<\/span> that doesn’t use, provide, or create cloud services. Cloud computing <\/a>offers fast, agile, inexpensive, and massively scalable<\/span> Infrastructure<\/span>. It’s responsible for a suite of new technologies and service innovations across many vertical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For developers<\/span>, this has resulted in a suite of technology and service innovations as industries have switched from on-premises architecture to cloud computing.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Containerization<\/span> has grown in importance both an as standalone alternative and addition to virtualization<\/span>. Kubernetes<\/span> is one of the leading platforms managing containers stored in the cloud<\/span>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Kubernetes boosts cloud computing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Last year at Codemotion Amsterdam, Alain Regnier gave a deep dive into Kubernetes<\/span>, which he describes as an “open source<\/span> solution originally made within Google<\/span> (based on Borg). It allows you to create, update, and organize your containers. And basically, you define the target architecture you want. You say I want so many copies of this container<\/span>. I want this type of network and so on and the system<\/span> will work to maintain it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Google<\/span> Kubernetes Engine (GKE) provides a managed environment for deploying, managing, and scaling<\/span> your containerized<\/span> applications<\/span> using Google<\/span> infrastructure<\/span>. Alain likens this to “Kubernetes<\/span> as a service. So in the past, we’ve had Infrastructure<\/span> as a Service, container<\/span> as a service platform as a service. And now we’re moving into this Kubernetes<\/span> as a service approach.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Alain is CTO<\/a> of Alto Labs and notes “Google<\/span> has been running containers for over 12 years for most of our products. They’re starting 4 billion containers per week. So it gives you an idea<\/span> of the kind of problem they can have managing those containers, starting them, stopping them, and the experience<\/span> they put into Kubernetes<\/span> when they designed the first version.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Best practices to use Kubernetes and GKE effectively.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Alain provided a deep dive into the best practices<\/span> of Kubernetes and GKE. These include<\/p>\n\n\n\n
