The Shift to Microservices and Continuous Delivery
In this blog we provide some context around why you need microservices and explain how the adoption of microservices was the catalyst that ultimately led to continuous delivery and continuous processes.
Practical Continuous Delivery
Making the transition to automated continuous delivery pipelines can be a challenging process. Read this blog to learn some best practices for implementing CD pipelines in your organization.
Chaos meets GitOps - stress test and improve your app speed using ChaosIQ with Weave Cloud
Sylvain Hellegouarch (ChaosIQ) demonstrates how to implement an accelerated learning and system-improvement loop. With ChaosIQ , built on top of the open source Chaos Toolkit, controlled and careful Chaos Engineering experiments were executed against a system running in Kubernetes and then observed, diagnosed and rolled out with Weave Cloud to make improvements based on the surfaced weaknesses.

Top 5 Kubernetes Best Practices From Sandeep Dinesh (Google)
Learn what the top 5 best practices are for building, deploying and managing services in Kubernetes from Sandeep Dinesh, Developer Advocate, Google Cloud Platform.
Ensure High Availability and Uptime With Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler and Prometheus
Not all systems can meet their SLAs by relying on CPU/memory usage metrics alone, most web and mobile backends require autoscaling based on requests per second to handle any traffic bursts. This step by step guide shows you how to set up Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler with Prometheus defined custom metrics, to fine tune your application monitoring and ensure high availability.
Kops vs. Kubeadm: What’s the difference?
Find out the differences between two Kubernetes installers, kops and kubeadm. This blog describes how to use them and when you’d use one installation method over another.
5 steps to achieve Continuous Delivery
Read our latest whitepaper which details the hurdles that DevOps teams must clear in order to move from Continuous Integration to Continuous Delivery. It is designed as a resource for DevOps practitioners who want to take full advantage of the efficiencies and operational advantages that CD enables, yet struggle to overcome the conceptual, cultural and technological challenges that complicate the transition from CI to CD.
GitOps Part 4 - Application Delivery Compliance and Secure CICD
Part 4 of the GitOps blog series explains how you can make your continuous delivery pipeline more secure using 3 best practices which enables auditing and compliance. This is aimed at Kubernetes users who have adopted Continuous Integration (CI) and who want to add Continuous Deployment (CD) to their pipeline.
Keeping Helm changes consistent and reliable with Weave Flux
While Helm helps with getting applications running, you need other tooling to keep them up to date when something changes. Check out our alpha release of our Helm integration in Weave Flux. It makes sure your Helm chart releases are kept up to date with what’s in Git. You can try it out using the published repository in Github.
Promote Container Images across Environments with Weave Cloud: Deploy
Weave Cloud Deploy is a Continuous Deployment/Delivery operator for Kubernetes which makes it super easy to automate releases to a cluster - but what about multiple clusters? Weave Cloud Deploy can filter tags - by tagging each image with an environment specific prefix, it’s possible for the same image build to be automatically released to each environment in turn.
How secure is your CICD pipeline?
Looking at a CICD pipeline with security in mind, reveals some interesting concerns. Consider the credentials and access typically assigned to each step, and what’s actually required for each step - Read Write access, and Read Only access. The CI system can be a target, because it’s got credentials for the source code, the image repo and the cluster, and it crosses two logical security boundaries. Learn how you can mitigate this with a GitOps approach.
