In the past 12 months, OKE (the managed Kubernetes service in Oracle Cloud) has added an amazing number of features. At the same time, OKE customers’ use cases have grown both in ambition, scale and complexity. In order to support both of these developments, we have re-engineered the Terraform OKE…

In the previous 2 articles, we looked at Falco, a cloud native security tool designed to help you with threat detection, especially on Linux and cloud native systems. We also looked at deploying it on basic compute instances in Oracle Cloud and then shipping the detected events to OCI Logging…

In part 1, we learned about Falco, a cloud native security tool designed to help you with threat detection, especially on Linux and cloud native systems. We also learned how to install it on a compute instance running Oracle Linux in Oracle Cloud (OCI)and then ship detected events to OCI…

I’ve been pontificating about provisioning, monitoring Kubernetes clusters (OKE) on Oracle cloud and deploying applications and scaling applications across regions. But with the exception of a couple of articles, I have barely touched the subject of cloud native security. That’s mainly because when it comes to security, the impostor syndrome…

I have written several times about using Prometheus and Thanos to to monitor OKE (Kubernetes) before. In this article, I’ll chart our journey so far of adding support to Thanos in OCI. Step 0: Using the S3 interface in OCI Object Storage to store metrics The very first iteration required using the S3 interface so that Thanos could read and write TSDB blocks…

In my previous article, I needed a helm chart repo that can be publicly accessible and I used GitHub pages. In this article, we’ll use OCI Object to Storage to store our helm charts and serve them publicly. First, create a bucket:

In Part 1, we looked at the different Verrazzano profiles, provisioned an admin cluster and then we used Cluster API (CAPI) to create a workload OKE cluster. We automated the last part by using ArgoCD. In this article, we will install Verrazzano in the OKE workload cluster. …

Well, Verrazzano 1.6 is out and with it comes a number of exciting new features: Cluster API (CAPI) Thanos Integration Fluent Operator and fluentbit Minimal profile and a number of other thoughtful improvement In this article, I want to talk about CAPI. …

I was discussing the previous series of articles on Coherence with my colleague Shaun Levey and his response was: “It’s great you can measure and monitor across different regions but I want to know how it responds when faced with failures. Can we inject latency and see what happens?” His…
