In the last post we focused on using inlets to create a WebSocket to provide a secure public endpoint for the Kubernetes API and port 8080 for Kasten K10 that are otherwise not publicly reachable. In this post we are going to concentrate on the Kasten K10 and multi cluster configuration. I am going to share a great article talking about Kasten multi-cluster from Dean Lewis. Deploying K10 Deploying Kasten K10 is a simple helm chart deployment that I covered in a post a few months back here. ➜ kubectl create ns kasten-io namespace/kasten-io created ➜ helm install k10 kasten/k10 –namespace=kasten-io Accessing K10 For theRead More →

Dark Kubernetes Clusters & managing multi clusters

Let’s first start by defining the “Dark” mentioned in the title. This could relate to a cluster that you have that needs to have minimum to no access from the internet or it could also be a home Kubernetes cluster, the example I will be using in this post will be a K3S cluster deployed in my home network, I do not have a static IP address with my ISP and I would like others to be able to connect to my cluster for collaboration or something that we will get to around data management later. What is the problem? How do you access darkRead More →

Welcome to Kubernetes Korner

We have created an open community forum where we can discuss all things Kubernetes, Data Management, Kasten and DevOps topics in one place where anyone can contribute, learn, or share. You will see the why we decided on this route vs the what seems to be the defacto now to create a discord or slack channel at the end of the post. Basically, my ask is would love to see you all in there, sharing your experiences and asking your questions. https://community.veeam.com/groups/kubernetes-korner-90 Welcome! I wanted to start by welcoming everyone to our new Kubernetes Korner where we can discuss all things cloud-native, Kubernetes and DevOps.Read More →

I have been meaning to jump in here for a while and finally today I got the chance, and it was super quick to get things up and running. Especially when you get the £250 free credits as well! For a playground for learning this is a great place to get started, quick deployment. This post is going to walk through pretty much from step 1 when you sign in for the first time and how you can easily deploy a Kubernetes cluster from both the UI portal and the Civo CLI. When you sign up for your CIVO account and your free $250 creditRead More →

Ransomware is a threat we hear about daily it seems and it is hitting every sector, I have actually been saying that everyone should be concerned here, it is just a matter of time before you are attacked and have to face the Ransomware story. This post is all about highlighting how to prevent your cloud workloads from being easily exposed as well as talking briefly about the remediation and how to get back up on your feet. In a previous post, I posted about Pac-Man as a mission-critical application, I have decided that this is a great way to show off the stateful approachRead More →

How to – Amazon EBS CSI Driver

In a previous post, we hopefully covered the why and where the CSI has come from and where it is going and the benefits that come with having an industry-standard interface by enabling storage vendors to develop a plugin once and have it work across a number of container orchestration systems. The reason for this post is to highlight how to install the driver and enable volume snapshots, the driver itself is still in the beta phase, and the volume snapshot is in the alpha phase, alpha phase software is not supported within Amazon EKS clusters. The driver is well tested and supported in AmazonRead More →

Understanding the Kubernetes storage journey

Some may say that Kubernetes is built for only stateless workloads but one thing we have seen over the last 18-24 months is an increase in those stateful workloads, think your databases, messaging queues and batch processing functions all requiring some state to be consistent and work. Some people will also believe that these states should land outside the cluster but can be consumed by the stateless workloads ran within the Kubernetes cluster. The people have spoken In this post, we are going to briefly talk about the storage options available in Kubernetes and then spend some time on the Container Storage Initiative / InterfaceRead More →

Introducing Kubestr – A handy tool for Kubernetes Storage

My big project over the last month has not only been getting up to speed around Kubernetes but has had a parallel effort around Kubernetes storage and an open-source project that has been developed and today is released. In this post we are going to touch on how to get going with Kubestr, the first thing to mention is that this is a handy set of tools to help you identify, validate, and evaluate your Kubernetes storage. The Challenge The challenge we have with Kubernetes storage is that it’s not all that easy and it’s very manual to achieve some of the tasks that KubestrRead More →

Getting started with Google Kubernetes Service (GKE)

In this post we will cover getting started with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) much the same as the previous posts covering Amazon EKS and Microsoft AKS, we will walk through getting a Kubernetes cluster up and running. Now we could walk through the Google Cloud Portal which is pretty straight forward and if you would like to see that as a walkthrough let me know and I will cover this but I think the most appropriate way is gearing up for Infrastructure as Code. As with all the public cloud managed Kubernetes posts I have covered they all have great documentation and walkthroughs on gettingRead More →

This post is going to cover off using Azure PowerShell to get a Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster up and running in your Azure Subscription. In the previous post, we went through the same AKS cluster creation using the Azure CLI Which one you choose will depend on your background and usage, if you are familiar with PowerShell then you might choose this option as you might be more familiar with the object output. There are lots of posts already out there around the Azure CLI vs Azure PowerShell here is one, but I am not going to get into that here. Install AzureRead More →
