OpenTracing was an open-source project aimed at providing vendor-neutral APIs and instrumentation for distributed tracing. In distributed cloud-native applications, it is difficult for engineering teams to see how requests are performing across services. And that’s where distributed tracing comes into the picture.

OpenTracing is now archived, and it is suggested to migrate to OpenTelemetry.

I agree; but I think it'll take years, if ever, to change this culture.

Logging is a byproduct of a past time; everything is a file, stdout is a file, lets persist that file, now we have multiple replicas, lets collect the file into a multi-terabyte searchable database.

The biggest downside: Its WILDLY expensive. Large orgs often have an entire team dedicated to maintaining logging (ELK) infrastructure. This price-tag inevitably leads to bikeshedding on backend teams about how to "reduce the amount we're logging" or "cleaning up the logs" or "structuring them to be more useful".

Outside of development, they are so rarely useful. Yet inevitably someone will say: "you're just not structuring your logs correctly." Maybe that's true; similarly, I don't find vim to be a highly productive editing experience. Maybe I just don't have the thousands of extensions it would take to make it so. Or maybe You're stuck in the past and ignoring two decades of tooling improvement. Both can be true.

I'm phrasing this as a false dichotomy, because in many teams: it is. Logging is easy; its built-in to most languages; so devs log. The information we need is in the system; its a needle in a haystack, but the needle is there. We log when a request comes in, when it hits pertinent functions, when its finished, how its finished, the manager says: "just look at the logs". Instead of "what better tooling can we make an investment in so future investigations of this nature don't take a full day."

For starters: Tracing. Tracing systems should be built-in to EVERY LANGUAGE, just like console.log. We have a standard [1] sponsored by the Linux Foundation and supported by every major trace ingestion system. This is not a problem of camps and proprietary systems; its a problem of culture. I should be able to call a nodejs stdlib function at startup, specify where I want traces to go, sampling rate, etc, and immediately get every single function call instrumented. Its literally just highly-structured-by-default logging! Dump the spans to stdout by default! Our log ingestion systems can read each line, determine if its a span, if so route to trace ingestion, otherwise route to log ingestion.

This is a critical step because it asserts that tracing is actually a very powerful tool that everyone needs to learn, like logging. Everyone knows about logging. Why? console.log. Its there, it gets used. Tracing right now is relegated to a subculture of "advanced diagnostics"; you gotta adopt a tracing provider, bring in dependencies, learn each implementation of OpenTracing, authenticate to send traces over HTTP... as a community, we should normalize just "dump traces like you dump logs, to stdout", have a formatter to make them nice to use in development, and now all that instrumentation work that any dev is capable of utilizing (just like console.log) "just works" in production.

Service mesh - ssup2ket services run on service mesh for detailed traffic control and easy monitoring. Service mesh is applied through Istio. Istio uses OpenTracing for easy request tracing between multiple services.

I’m joking of course. I’m not really sure about what a faded keyboard says about its owner. What I do know for sure is how important kubectl is to anybody who wants to be a proficient Kubernetes administrator.

In the field of software development, efficiency and agility are always sought after. In the era of cloud-native apps, traditional deployment techniques—which are frequently laborious and prone to errors—are starting to become obstacles. This is when Kubernetes and GitOps come in handy.

Are you looking for a hassle-free way to deploy Moodle™ Learning Management Systems (LMS) on Kubernetes? Look no further! Krestomatio presents the LMS Moodle Operator, an open-source Kubernetes Operator designed to simplify the deployment and management of Moodle instances on Kubernetes clusters. Let's dive into what makes this tool a great choice for Moodle administrators and developers alike.

Securing access to your Kubernetes clusters is crucial as inadequate security measures can lead to unauthorized access and potential data breaches. However, navigating the complexities of Kubernetes access security, especially when setting up strong authentication, authorization, and network policies, can be challenging.

Deploying AI models into production requires tools that can package applications and manage them at scale. Docker simplifies the deployment of AI applications by containerizing them, ensuring that the application runs smoothly in any environment. Kubernetes, an orchestration system for Docker containers, allows for the automated deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, essential for AI applications that need to scale across multiple servers or cloud environments.

To learn more, you can start by exploring the official Kubernetes documentation.

With the containerized Node.js/Express API, I could run multiple containers, scaling to handle more traffic. Using a tool called minikube, we can easily spin up a local Kubernetes cluster to horizontally scale Docker containers. It was possible to keep one shared instance of the database, and many APIs were routed with an internal Kubernetes load balancer.

This package is widely used for powerful CLI builds, it is used for example for Kubernetes CLI and GitHub CLI, in addition to offering some cool features such as automatic completion of shell, automatic recognition of flags (the tags) , and you can use -h or -help for example, among other facilities.

We closely monitor Kubernetes and cloud providers' updates by following official changelogsand using RSS feeds, allowing us to anticipate potential issues and adapt our infrastructure proactively.
