Whodunnit? Debugging and Diagnosing Microservices with Weave Cloud Beta
Debugging is about understanding the system. If software is behaving in some unexpected way, it means there is some piece of the system you don’t understand. Microservices, in particular, spread the system’s behaviour across many...
Configuring Container Capabilities with Kubernetes
In this blog post, I discuss how to configure capabilities for Docker containers running on Kubernetes. Even though Linux containers run in their own isolated bubble, they aren’t just allowed to do anything they like. Some actions, such as...
Monitoring Your Kubernetes Infrastructure with Prometheus
In the last post in our series “Prometheus and Kubernetes”, Tom talked about how we use Prometheus to monitor the applications and services we deploy to Kubernetes. In this post, I want to talk about how we use Prometheus to monitor our...
Run Weave Net with Kubernetes in Just One Line
