Problem Introduction: In Part 1, We have seen how to automate the process of increasing the limits/requests for the pods memory/cpu using the webhook alerts feature of alert manager and webhook triggered pipelines of spinnaker. In Part 2, , it was shown how to use verticalpodautoscaler (VPA) to get the recommendations for pod memory and cpu requests as […]

Problem Introduction: In Part 1, We have seen how to automate the process of increasing the limits/requests for the pods memory/cpu using the webhook alerts feature of alert manager and webhook triggered pipelines of spinnaker. But what value should we patch? How to decide on the optimal values for cpu/memory as these values varies from application […]

Businesses have rapidly embraced GitOps as a standard Kubernetes deployment strategy as it helps them deploy applications in the shortest possible time. This is enabled by Argo, the most popular GitOps tool for rapid deployments. Argo Rollout, a reliable Progressive Delivery tool for Kubernetes, provides deployment strategies like blue-green and canary deployments. Thus, with GitOps, […]

Problem Introduction: Kubernetes does a good job in self healing and application recovery from failure. New pods come up in the place of pods that crash. One reason for pods failing in kubernetes cluster is the memory consumed exceeding the limit set. In this case, kubernetes pods are OOM killed ( out of memory) and […]
