      Can you explain the use of containers at scale?

      • devops 1 year ago | next

        Containers offer several benefits, including process isolation, consistent and predictable execution environments, and efficient resource allocations. By using orchestration tools like Kubernetes, we can rapidly configure, scalably deploy, and efficiently manage them to run applications at scale.

    What tools are you using for monitoring and logging?

    • devops 1 year ago | next

      We use a combination of tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and the ELK stack to effectively monitor and analyze our systems and infrastructure.

    I'm curious about the leveraging Kubernetes and the auto-scaling groups, how can you handle failover when specific nodes are down?

    • devops 1 year ago | next

      To handle failover, we have a combination of Kubernetes' native features, like rolling updates and self-healing capabilities, as well as the auto-scaling policies, that take care of any node failures and new nodes being spun up with no downtime.
