Managing costs in a Kubernetes environment is a significant challenge. As Kubernetes workloads scale, the cost distribution becomes more complex, especially for teams managing multi-cloud clusters. Kubernetes cost visibility or the ability to track where and how resources are consumed is crucial for effective budgeting and resource optimization. Unfortunately, many Kubernetes cost monitoring tools fall short when it comes to offering real-time, granular visibility. This is where OpenCost shines, solving the cost visibility problem where other tools, like Kubecost, struggle. Continue reading “OpenCost: Solving Kubernetes Cost Visibility Problems”

Mastering Kubernetes: 5 Essential Tools for Seamless Management
Discussed here are the top 5 Kubernetes management tools that help DevOps teams manage and deploy Kubernetes with ease. Let’s take a look!
Kubernetes is an open-source platform for scheduling and automating the deployment, management and scaling of containerized applications. Also known as “k8s” or “kube” — this container orchestration platform enables cost-effective cloud-native development. Along with all the advantages that come up with deploying Kubernetes, there are many management and monitoring challenges too. Engineering teams can be seen exploring ways to navigate through these complicated and often overwhelming Kubernetes management challenges to get the most out of their investments.
Kubernetes management involves all operations that deal with complete controlling and tracking of cluster metrics. Such tasks comprise the initiation, controlling, scaling and deletion of pods & containers, their configuration and the evaluation of cluster metrics. K8s management is not only concerned with performance-measured workloads. It also comprises maintenance of the supportive framework which covers the areas such as networking, storage and security. However, managing a Kubernetes cluster is rather complex because of the multi-layered architecture of Kubernetes and the dynamic nature of Kubernetes environments.

Introduction
“Murphy’s law doesn’t mean that something bad will happen. It means that whatever can happen, will happen.” This is something related to destiny but we should not totally rely upon it and should be prepared for the worst.
The same philosophy referenced above applies to the tech world too. That’s the reason we should be prepared with our backup options choices possibly, a data set or Kubernetes cluster.
“Always be ready with backup options like Velero for Kubernetes.” Continue reading “Know How to Use Velero to Backup and Migrate Kubernetes Resources and Persistent Volumes”
Records Creation in Azure DNS from AKS ExternalDNS
Have you ever thought to create the DNS records automatically (like: A record, AAAA record and TXT record etc.) in the DNS Zones of Azure cloud from the kubernetes cluster’s yaml manifests (to be specific the External DNS) ?
NO ?
So don’t worry guys because i have done it and i thought i should share this experience with you guys. This is not limited to Azure cloud DNS Zones, It will work with AWS Route 53, Google cloud DNS, AWS cloud map and many more to mention here.
Now let me introduce you guys to the particular objects of this setup then next we will move forward to know How to setup these objects.
So let’s go………….

Introduction
Kubernetes is one of the widely used orchestration tools for container application and container management. With a variety of features and options, it helps organizations remove manual intervention at every stage. With lots of requirements & scenarios, the user or any organization deals with lots of Kubernetes resources types options which leads to having proper knowledge of every Kubernetes resources type to fit specific or combination of resources with different scenarios that organizations generally require. To know more about different Kubernetes resource types, you can visit the official documentation provided by Kubernetes. Continue reading “Kubernetes: DaemonSet”
