In the cloud-native ecosystem, decisions and changes are made on a rapid basis. Applications get adapted and deployed multiple times a week or even day. Microservices get developed decentralized with different peoples and teams involved. In such an environment, it is crucial to ensure that applications are developed and operated…
Before I introduce you to Azure Service Operator and how it helps you to manage your Azure resources with Kubernetes let me briefly start with why you should use it and where it can help. Let me give you two examples:

This blog post is not a kind of post I would normally publish. I’m normally focusing on technical blog posts around Cloud, Kubernetes and containers.
But normal is not normal anymore. In this post, I would like to talk about my new conference life. A life where I attend conferences…
This post is an updated version of my previous post “Using Terraform with Azure” that I published some time ago. Now, nearly one year later, I have learned a lot and also optimized and extended the examples and code snippets here and there. As a result, we decided to publish…
In my previous article “Part:1 How Containerized CI/CD Pipelines Work with Kubernetes and GitLab”, I wrote about Kubernetes’ popularity and importance in 2019. I also described the advantages of containerized pipelines with GitLab CI/CD and Kaniko offer. …
It is hardly surprising Kubernetes’ popularity continued to grow in 2019 and this trend will likely continue in 2020.
However, while it offers so many advantages, Kubernetes adoption has also revealed new difficulties that have to be addressed — and fixed. One of them is how we automatically deploy and…
There are already many articles out there that provide you with details on how to containerize your .NET Core application. Nevertheless, I still saw the need to write a bit more detailed post which helps you to build a production-ready container image based on container and .NET Core best practices…
Ephemeral Containers are a new kind of container that runs temporarily in an existing Pod to allow easy user integrations like troubleshooting a container workload.
The advantages of containers are that they run isolated processes by providing all needed dependencies using an immutable approach. By adding only the required dependencies…
