Vendor agnostic. Better resource utilization. Enhanced portability. Sounds like the making of one incredible data mobility cocktail! The key ingredient here is leveraging containers with Kubernetes (K8s). And we’re not the only ones advocating to adopt containers for amplified data mobility.

In DevOps, each day brings new trends, challenges, and solutions to light. It’s critical for all developers, platform engineers, and systems architects alike to stay on top of industry trends to continuously improve processes and drive innovation. Let’s dive into the top 5 DevOps trends for 2022.

We are thrilled to announce that ionir has been certified as a CircleCI Orb integration. CircleCI is a powerful Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) platform. Running CircleCI in containers dramatically reduces the overhead associated with starting and running instances, making it easy to scale for build, test, and deployment. 

In part three of this series, our setup can enable cloud migrations under the same process. Let’s say once we decide to turn-off MongoDB services on Cluster A, all the workload’s operations — Reads and Writes — can be utilized from Cluster B without fully syncing the data thanks to the ionir name-based data services layer.

In part two of this series, we will scale MongoDB to the second Kubernetes cluster in another data center, as recommended by MongoDB. In addition, we will add an Arbiter service.

The cloud has become the default option for many enterprises. However, enterprises are still faced with the challenge of selecting which cloud provider to use. There are three major problems that enterprises face when it comes to selecting a cloud provider: Optimizing costs and ROI, aiming at best of breed, and avoiding cloud lock-ins — including high availability and future-proofing.

With the ability to quickly and efficiently move data across multiple clouds, Kubernetes adoption is key to simplifying and streamlining DevOps operations. According to recent industry findings, over 50% of DevOps, Platform, and Cloud Engineers report that moving to Kubernetes is critical or important to business success.

According to RedHat’s Kubernetes adoption, security, and market trends report 2021, the adoption of Kubernetes (K8s) is widespread. In fact, 88% of survey respondents report currently running data on Kubernetes and 74% of respondents report leveraging K8s in production environments.

Developers are using Kubernetes (K8s) for a plethora of reasons. And since Kubernetes can be used to improve business outcomes, streamline processes, accelerate CI/CD, you name it — the possibilities are virtually endless. But some developers are taking advantage of the power of Kubernetes and are bringing it to an entirely new level.

According to Pepperdata’s survey, 77% of respondents were expecting to migrate 50% or more of their data applications to Kubernetes (K8s) by the end of 2021. 10% of respondents had already migrated their…

Hybrid workforces are becoming the new norm across all industries. According to a recent survey, 76% of respondents reported that their company shifted to a hybrid workforce in the past year. It’s no surprise…

In recent years, Kubernetes (K8s) has taken the DevOps world by storm as it enables developers to accelerate pipelines and scale operations. In fact, organizations…

It’s safe to say that transitioning to running DevOps pipelines on Kubernetes is not a luxury — it’s a necessity. But the question is, how can DevOps professionals simplify and speed up CI/CD with Kubernetes? 

Containerization already plays a strategic role in 20% of global organizations, and 70% are reporting plans to adopt cloud containers within the next 6-18 months. What makes a cloud container so useful in DevOps environments?

Malware and bugs can compromise the entire dataset in just a few seconds and can cause complete data loss. In fact, 94% of organizations that endure severe data loss do not recover.

Application modernization and redesign is critical to adopting containers as an infrastructure building block. Kubernetes was designed to run stateless applications, but not all workloads are born equal.

What if we could instantly rearrange the individual datum in a set according to time? What if we could include or exclude groups of data from a set in such a way that the full contents of the new data set represented

We need data services to drive more efficient processes, saving developers time on administrative tasks, and cutting time to deploy new applications and features. In this article, we’re uncovering what services will be

With a CAGR of 63%, the container infrastructure software market is rapidly growing. Consequently, traditional hardware vendors and cloud providers are racing to support containers and data services.

Only a few organizations are currently offering products that natively handle Kubernetes environments and the scaling challenges that come along with them. Thus, it’s best to keep up with container trends so that you can

DevOps pipelines are the backbone of innovation. Ensuring a fast, effective, and secure pipeline is critical for the overall success of an organization. DevOps needs a flexible container-native platform that easily adapts

DevOps environments often require a platform engineering team to support the strategic, technological, and cultural changes within the organization. Platform engineering is the process of constantly innovating and

Since DevOps champions experimentation, speed, and iteration, the more tasks that can be automated, the better. The reason is simple. Automation tools reduce laborious man-hours.

Agile may have come to fruition first, but DevOps is taking control of the spotlight. So is DevOps replacing Agile altogether? Or is there a way these two frameworks can work in unison to ensure seamless deployment and time to market?

When it comes to fostering a dynamic DevOps environment, enterprises need to consider adopting technologies such as cloud services, containers, and microservices for maximum agility and flexibility. In this article

Having the right set of tools to execute DevOps is crucial to ensuring a faster deployment pipeline. Ultimately, the key to implementing a highly effective toolchain is to automate data delivery and remove the data gap.

DevOps pipelines are the backbone of innovation. Ensuring a fast, effective, and secure pipeline is critical for the overall success of an organization. In order to stay relevant in rapidly changing markets and keep up with dynamic customer demands
