Big news from the video streaming giant Netflix: they’re open sourcing Titus, a container monitoring platform that powers their streaming, recommendation, and content systems.

A lot of talks will tell you how to set up container orchestration systems correctly. In this session from DevOpsCon 2017, Jörg Schad explains what not to do when setting up your Apache Mesos and DC/OS cluster.

No Docker daemon? Working in a Kubernetes cluster? No problem. Kaniko, a new open source tool, allows developers to build an image in a container without needing any special privileges.

Containers are definitely not a panacea for all problems and sometimes they are even more of a burden than an advantage for a project. In our interview at DevOpsCon 2017 in Munich, Michael Bruns, software developer and architect at inovex, explains which projects can really benefit from Docker, Kubernetes and the like. He also reveals to us, whether serverless will soon replace container technology.

Docker turned five last week! To mark this milestone, we talked with David Messina, CMO at Docker about its evolution, how Docker became the poster child for containers and what’s in store for 2018.

What’s in store for DevOps this year? Will cloud adoption continue to grow? Will containers-as-a-service gain momentum? What challenges should Kubernetes and Docker address in 2018? We talked with Peter Williams, CTO at CJC Ltd. about all this and more.

What kinds of monitoring solutions are available to check the health of your microservices? In this article, Peter Arijs explains what you are looking for, goes over the different types of service checks, and gives an example of how you can do this with CoScale’s monitoring solutions.

Is there a correct way to monitor containerized applications? What are the tools that help people “connect the dots” between various silos of the infrastructure, and help fix problems when they occur? We talked with Matt Chotin, Sr. Director of Developer Initiatives at AppDynamics, about all this and more.

We’ve talked about how to control resource usage of containers, now it’s time to learn how to use resource quota and namespaces to manage multiple teams on your Kubernetes cluster.

New year, new JAX Magazine issue. What better way to celebrate the beginning of a new year than with a DevOps goody bag?

How can you control resource usage of containers? Especially when you run containers in production at scale? In this article, Peter Arijs explains how you can utilize container resource limits and resource quotas to keep things in order.

Kubernetes has a new ally: Kublr delivers an open, easy-to-use, enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform that’s not tied to a single cloud, PaaS, OS.

Apache Mesos 1.5 is here! What new features does this open source cluster management tool have to offer? Significant improvements to resource management, increased storage, and Container Storage Interface support, for starters.

Serverless has grown considerably in the past few years but is it ready to embrace its maturity? And does that mean running away from NoOps or toward it? In the last part of our interview series, we invited six JAX DevOps speakers to weigh in on the serverless movement, its “competition” with container-based cloud infrastructure and the challenges Kubernetes and Docker should be addressing this year.
