In this BLOG I will share an incident that taught me how containers really work under the hood. Production Down – Once I received production website down alert for one of my customer. As I checked the website was giving 502 Initial Checks – I immediately logged in to the production host to investigate. The […]
Introduction In today’s DevSecOps pipelines, security can no longer be an afterthought and given short shrift; it must be baked in upfront. Container images, on which today’s apps are built, include frequently the operating system packages, the third-party libraries, and the app requirements that may come pre-packaged with known vulnerabilities if not properly controlled. These […]
Introduction Keeping internal NPM packages safe during continuous integration and delivery is more important than ever, and a private registry such as Sonatype Nexus offers a simple, central way to do this. In the steps that follow, you’ll learn how to link Jenkins to a Nexus NPM feed, whether your builds run inside Docker or […]
Introduction Containers have transformed the way we build, ship, and run applications. For a long time, Docker has been the go-to solution for containerization, setting the standard across the industry. However, Podman has gained attention as a strong alternative, offering solutions to some of Docker’s architectural challenges. In this blog, we’ll take a closer look […]
Introduction: Why Containerization Is Important In modern software development, containerization has become a standard practice, particularly for Node.js applications and microservices. But why is containerization so valuable? Consistency Across Environments: One of the main challenges in development is environment inconsistencies. An application that runs on your local machine might behave differently in production due to […]
In today’s business world, agility, scalability, and performance are more important than ever. Many organizations face the challenge of managing rapid growth while ensuring high uptime and operational flexibility. Initially deployed on-premises using Docker Swarm, this infrastructure required a more scalable solution to meet the demands of an expanding user base. We encountered similar challenges […]
Introduction If you’re new to Drupal development or looking to streamline your local development workflow, DDEV offers an efficient and straightforward way to set up a Drupal environment on your computer. DDEV, built on Docker, simplifies the process of creating isolated, consistent development environments, ensuring that your local setup mirrors your production environment as closely […]
Introduction Kubernetes is a powerful tool for managing containerized applications. It helps us to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of our applications in containers, which are like lightweight, standalone packages for software. In the market, multiple tools are available to set up Kubernetes clusters locally (on our host machines), like Minikube, Microk8s, Kind (Kubernetes […]
Introduction and Scenario There are various use cases for running Docker inside a host Docker container, which we will mention later on, but one of the use cases that often comes in handy is when we run a Docker container as a Jenkins agent. Suppose we want to build and push our application image to any […]
