Just another post before starting the vacation time, and I promise I won’t be reading books on IT during my holidays :D Following my first AWS Cloud certification last month, I had the opportunity to read a book on development applications on Amazon Web Services: Build Customized Apps with Amazon…

Recently I got the opportunity to read the “Machine Learning on Kubernetes: A practical handbook for building and using a complete open-source machine learning platform on Kubernetes” book. The book begins with an overview of machine learning and describes the basics of MLOps. There is also a nice introduction on Kubernetes…

Using operators to manage the lifecycle of multi-cloud, Kubernetes-based applications — With Kubernetes, organizations can automate the deployment and management of distributed, multi-cloud applications. While Kubernetes includes many capabilities to manage workloads, it is not aware of operational requirements of specific applications, meaning manual tasks can still become a burden. Fortunately, Kubernetes is a platform designed for extension, and its automation…

This post describes how to put in place a metrics gathering through Prometheus for a Kubernetes/OpenShift “operator”. This assumes either you are the coder of the operator (written in Go language) or you have access to the source code to modify it :D The team members of the whole project…

IBM Cloud offers managed Kubernetes cluster services, which could be used to deploy entreprise grade applications. When provisioning a Kubernetes cluster on IBM Cloud, one has the choice of a “real cluster” (single-zone or multi-zone);

If you want to spare some local machine disk and resources and do all your Docker preparations remotely, you can simply do it on a very affordable Linux machine on your cloud of choice. This example is specifically based in IBM Cloud. This example will guide you through all the…

The team: Niklas Heidloff CTO Build Labs Adam de Leeuw Senior Engineer Build Labs Thomas Suedbroecker Senior Engineer Build Labs As part of our mission to build multi-cloud solutions to scale the business of our customers/partners, we are enthusiastic to share our first publication on our achievements. …

This article is the second of the series on automation on IBM Cloud using Terraform. In the previous article (https://alain-airom.medium.com/terraform-automation-on-ibm-cloud-%C2%BD-provisioning-a-kubernetes-cluster-on-ibm-cloud-using-edb939a966c8) I showed how it is simple to provision an IKS (IBM managed Kubernetes Cluster) with Terraform. …

IBM Cloud goes with a user friendly interface for either provisioning new services or managing them. However sometime (very often actually :D) automation is needed. In one of my recent assignments, I was asked to provide a Terraform code which is to be used inside a DevSecOps toolchain on IBM…
