Let’s discover how to monitor Spring Boot apps using Prometheus on Kubernetes clusters. Prometheus and the app will be deployed to different Kubernetes namespaces. So we’ll also see how using ExternalName Kubernetes service enables Prometheus to get metrics of Spring Boot Java app deployed to a different namespace.

Today, I’ll show how to create Kubernetes cluster on Linode using CLI. It might be useful, for instance, for CI/CD, automation processes, etc…
Today, I’ll show how to create and use Kubernetes operator using Ansible. I’ll also explain why to use Kubernetes operators and their relation to Kubernetes CRDs. As always, I’ll show a demo.
GitLab Self-Hosted Runners Demo
In this post we’ll see how and why to use GitLab self-hosted runners. As always, I’ll show a practical demo of GitLab self-hosted runner which runs jobs in CI/CD pipelines.
Podman Jenkins Agent
Today, I’ll show Podman Jenkins agent assuming Jenkins runs on Kubernetes. We’ll see Podman agent’s Dockerfile and CI/CD pipeline using it.
Kubernetes StatefulSets Demo

Today, I’ll demo Kubernetes StatefulSets. We’ll see what StatefulSets are, why to use them and how to create them.
Kubernetes CSI Volumes Demo

Today, I’ll demo CSI volumes in Kubernetes world. We’ll see what CSI volumes are, why to use them and what advantage CSI volumes give over regular Kubernetes volumes.

If you are a professional Kubernetes storage administrator you probably performed dynamic provisioning of Kubernetes
storage and avoided creating the volumes manually. We’ll see the motivation for dynamic storage provisioning and how using storage classes serves this purpose.

You have probably heard of Kubernetes ingress
. What purpose does it serve? How to use it? Keep reading to find out.
Kubernetes Networking Explained

Kubernetes
networking might seem like a service we get for free from Kubernetes
. Yet, it’s important to understand the principles and ideas behind it. Keep reading to find them out.
