Monitoring containers with cAdvisor
Monitoring with cAdvisor allows you to gather information about individual Docker containers. cAdvisor runs as a daemon and collects the information about running containers, crunches the data, and exports it to your backend system of choice (Prometheus, ElasticSearch, StatsD). This article shows you how to install cAdvisor and get the metrics to show up on a dashboard in Grafana.

GetIstio CLI was released this week. GetIstio features aCLI that offers an easier way to install and upgrade Istio, a free Istio Fundamentals training, and a community, with the first meeting coming up on February 18th.
In this post, you'll learn how to expose multiple Kubernetes services running inside your cluster using Istio' Gateway and VirtualService resources.
Running stateful workloads inside Kubernetes is different from running stateless services. The reason being is that the containers and Pods can get created and destroyed at any time. If any of the cluster nodes go down or a new node appears, Kubernetes needs to reschedule the Pods. When Pods get rescheduled, what happens with data? This article talks about Kubernetes Volumes and how to use them to store the data outside of your containers.

I needed a way to send a notification to a Slack channel, whenever I push new versions of Docker images to the registry. This post, I explain how I created a function that uses a container registry webhook to call a serverless function that sends a message to a Slack channel.
Using the NetworkPolicy resource, you can control the traffic flow for your applications in the cluster, at the IP address level or port level (OSI layer 3 or 4).
The ambassador container pattern aims to hide the primary container's complexity and provide a unified interface through which the primary container can access services outside of the Pod.
Start Kubernetes will teach you everything you need to know to use Kubernetes effectively.
The sidecar container aims to add or augment an existing container's functionality without changing the container. In comparison to the init container from the previous article, the sidecar container starts and runs simultaneously as your application container. The sidecar is just a second container you have in your container list, and the startup order is not guaranteed.
