We come to you with a new Kublr release that brings more automation control for Kubernetes deployment and in multiple environments. Kublr 1.11 is here and we are about to take a closer look at all the new and shiny features. Kublris a Kubernetes ally that delivers an open, easy-to-use, enterprise-grade Kubernetes platform that’s not tied to a single cloud, PaaS or OS and today we welcome its new release.

Usually, when you’re a leader in an open-source community like Kubernetes and there’s a big event (like this week’s KubeCon North America), that means launching a brand new project. Launches are exciting, but maintaining a successful project like Kubernetes requires sustained investment and maintenance. We find that what really distinguishes a successful open-source project is the day-in day-out nurturing that happens behind the scenes. And it’s more than coding—it’s things like keeping the project safe and inclusive, writing documentation, managing test infrastructure, responding to issues, working in project governance, creating mentoring programs, reviewing pull requests, and participating in release teams.

In the third post of our series on scaling service development, we dive into resilience engineering practices built into the standard service platform that powers the new Services Oriented Architecture atAirbnb. Airbnb is moving its infrastructure towards a Service Oriented Architecture. A reliable, performant, and developer-friendly polyglot service platform is an underpinning component in Airbnb’s architectural evolution. In Part 1 and Part 2 of our Building Services series, we shared how we used Thrift service IDL-centered service framework to scale the development of services; how a standardized service platform encourages and enforces infrastructure standards; and how to enforce best practices to for all new services without incurring additional development overhead.

Nearly 1.4 million developers use Docker Desktop every single day because it is the simplest and easiest way for container-based development. Docker Desktop provides the Docker Engine with Swarm and Kubernetes orchestrators right on the desktop, all from a single install. While this is great for an individual user, in enterprise environments administrators often want to automate the Docker Desktop installation and ensure everyone on the development team has the same configuration following enterprise requirements and creating applications based on architectural standards.
