Join us next week on 12th June at 5 PM for a meetup together with #AWS Meetup Vienna 🧠😀 This time its all gonna be about Fargate Instance Store and LocalStack and we are looking forward to welcome you in our SQUER office! 😍 🎙️ First Talk: Instance Store in Fargate: Efficient Main-Sidecar container communication? by Michal Salanci 🫐 Let's explore the practicality of using instance store for communication between main and sidecar containers in AWS Fargate tasks. This presentation will demonstrate how instance store not only facilitates efficient data exchange but also enhances performance without being an overkill and still cost effective. 🎙️ Second Talk: The Power of Local: Testing AWS applications without staging environments by Thomas Rausch Have you ever waited for staging resources to become available to test your changes? Have you ever forgotten to turn off an AWS resource in your dev sandbox over the weekend and got billed for them? You're not alone! In this talk, we will explore alternative development and testing strategies for AWS applications that focus on local cloud emulation. And, of course, stick around after the session for some casual and friendly vibes with pizza and drinks! 🍕🍻 Register for free now – we can't wait to see you there! 🤩

Recap of our talk at KCD Munich ✈️ Last week we gave a talk at Kubernetes Community Days Munich about the #opensource project #clusterstacks that we work on in cooperation with Sovereign Cloud Stack. The Cluster Stacks are the backbone of the new Syself Autopilot. 👉 The goal of the Cluster Stacks is to build an open-source Kubernetes as a Service solution based on Cluster API. 👉This KaaS solution is supposed to be extremely user-friendly and allows you to create and update clusters easily and quickly. 👉It is designed to be extremely reliable for users as well as for those managing the Kubernetes platform, by bundling together all configurations of a Kubernetes cluster. 👉These bundles can be tested extensively before they are shipped to users. 👉The tools to use and build these bundles are out there and ensure a good user and developer experience! Can't wait to start building your own Kubernetes platform? Then check it out! https://lnkd.in/eF76waeQ Do you rather prefer a hosted solution? Have a look at our docs or book a free demo with us! https://syself.com/docs https://syself.com/demo Did you miss our talk at KCD Munich? Don't worry, there will be a video of the full talk soon 😃 #syself #kcdmunich #devops #kubernetes #clusterapi

In Lounge by Zalando, we run an Elasticsearch cluster in Kubernetes to store user-facing article descriptions. Our business model is such that we receive about three times the normal load during the busy hour in the morning and therefore we use schedules to automatically scale in and out applications to handle that peak. If scaling out in the morning fails, we face a potential catastrophe. Juho Vuori, Senior Software Engineer, shares a story of one such case (and our learnings) on our Engineering Blog: https://zln.do/3KZ5zf5 #InsideZalando #ZalandoTech #ZalandoHelsinki

KubernetesCloud Native Berlin 🇩🇪 Meetup is celebrating the ✨ 10th anniversary of Kubernetes✨ 🔍 Join Karim Shakirov to explore a strategic method of autonomously and continuously optimizing your #K8s environment using a combination of Karpenter, Keda, and pod right-sizing. 💡 #HPA, #VPA, and Cluster autoscalers help efficiently manage clusters to ensure resilience and availability with minimal resources. However, achieving continuous, effective pod right-sizing remains a significant challenge due to several factors: - Shifting left resource allocations - Seasonality - Continuous delivery These factors introduce constant changes into the environment. To keep your environment continuously optimized for both cost and performance, you need a strategic approach combined with the right tools. Register now!
