Whether you're a beginner or an experienced professional, this guide aims to enhance your Kubernetes management skills on Ubuntu/Debian platforms.

Introduction Kubernetes is a powerful container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. As Kubernetes continues to evolve, one of the concepts that has gained significant traction is the Kubernetes Operator. Operators extend the functionality of Kubernetes and provide a way to automate complex tasks, allowing users to manage applications and resources more efficiently.

Linux container technology was introduced more than a decade ago and has recently jumped in adoption in IT environments. However, the OT (operational technology) environments, typically made up of heterogenous embedded systems, have lagged in the adoption of container technologies, due to both the unique technology requirements and the business models that relied on proprietary systems.

You've deployed Kubernetes, but now how are you going to get it into the hands of your developers and admins securely?

A look at using Kubernetes to create, deploy and manage thousands of container images.

I recently spent some time chatting with Craig McLuckie, CEO of the leading Kubernetes solutions provider Heptio. Centered around both developers and system administrators, Heptio's products and services simplify and scale the Kubernetes ecosystem. Petros Koutoupis: For all our readers who have yet to hear of the remarkable things Heptio is doing in this space, please start by telling us, who is Craig McLuckie?

Pydio Cells is a brand-new product focused on the needs of enterprises and large organizations, brought to you from the people who launched the concept of the open-source file sharing and synchronization solution in 2008. The concept behind Pydio Cells is challenging: to be to file sharing what Slack has been to chats—that is, a revolution in terms of the number of features, power and ease of use.

Well, here we are. Kubernetes turns four years old this month—technically, on June 7, 2018—the very same platform that brings users and data center administrators scalable container technologies. Its popularity has skyrocketed since its initial introduction by Google. Celebrating the project’s birthday is not the only thing making the headlines today. Amazon recently announced the general availability of its Elastic Container Services for Kubernetes (EKS), accessible via Amazon Web Services (AWS).
