How to avoid spending hours of debugging on your own…

This week at DockerCon, Docker made several announcements, but one in particular caused massive confusion as users thought that “Docker” was becoming “Moby.”

Mirantis announced Mirantis Cloud Platform 1.0, an operations-centric agile infrastructure platform based on OpenStack and Kubernetes, built towards the vision of a Continuously Delivered Cloud.

12 factors define a cloud-native application. It’s also said that Kubernetes is designed for cloud native computing. So how do you create a 12-factor application using Kubernetes?

Recently I had the pleasure of making my first visit to China to visit Mirantis’ partner, UMCloud, and we visited with several large firms. Several trends caught my attention.

There’s no denying that the last year has seen a great deal of turmoil in the OpenStack world, and here at Mirantis we’re not immune to it. In fact, some would say that we’re part of that turmoil.

What happens when you inject AppController right into Helm?

We did tests deploying close to 1000 OpenStack nodes on a pre-installed Kubernetes cluster as a way of finding out what problems you might run into, and fixing them, if at all possible.

When it comes to NFV, Packets Per Second (PPS) is often overlooked, but it’s vitally important. How do you get the most of it over OpenContrail in OpenStack?

You can get an in-depth look at all of the new features in the Kubernetes 1.6 release notes, but let’s get a quick overview here.

With DaemonSets, any time you have a node that belongs to a particular set, it runs the pods you specify.

Managing Kubernetes applications looks difficult compared “apt-get install mysql”. Fortunately there’s Helm, a Kubernetes-based package installer that manages preconfigured packages of resources.

A personal note from Mirantis co-founders, Alex Freedland and Boris Renski.

Kubernetes was designed to orchestrate multiple containers and replication. In this article, we’ll look at three options: Replication Controllers, Replica Sets, and Deployments.
