KOTS Snapshots with Disaster Recovery – Now GA
Starting in KOTS v1.31.0, the Snapshots feature set that can be used to back up and restore applications, as well as restore from disaster recovery scenarios, is now generally available (GA), further improving Replicated’s Day 2 operational capabilities for third-party software vendors. In addition to bringing this feature set out of beta, we’ve streamlined the
Kubernetes Off-The-Shelf Software & Why You Need It In Your Life
Greetings friends and welcome to part one of a series on getting familiar with the Replicated catalog. We’re going to start with KOTS – short for Kubernetes-off-the-shelf software. Since you’re here, I’m going to assume that you’re probably already at least somewhat familiar with Kubernetes, (TL;dr it’s THE open source container orchestration engine that’s way
Let’s Talk Troubleshoot – Preflight
If you were around in the tech industry back in The Olde Days, before containerization revolutionized infrastructure, you have probably lived through at least one Host Server Down (HSD) caused by a conflict in an OS patch, a missing dependency, an out-of-control logfile or any number of fairly common yet highly annoying reasons. If you’ve
Tracking Trends: Rise of Kubernetes Elevates Software Delivery On-Prem
At Replicated, we closely track happenings in the cloud native space given that we use cloud native technologies to deliver and manage software on-prem. (We like the on-prem term because it neatly sidesteps the tiresome on-premise vs. on-premises debate.) That’s why some of the findings in the latest Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) survey caught
Kubernetes Infrastructure vs. Kubernetes Application Management
Interest in the adoption of Kubernetes (K8s) has certainly exploded over the past 3-5 years, but as with any next wave technology, there’s still a lot of confusion in the market about how to best leverage it to accelerate your business goals. In this post, we’ll break down the differences between K8s infrastructure delivery and
Replicated Donates SchemaHero to the CNCF
We’re excited to share that SchemaHero has been accepted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a Sandbox project. While SchemaHero has always been an open source project, we are now transferring ownership to the CNCF and are committing to an open governance model so that it’s not directly tied to our vision at
$25M Series B To Modernize On-Prem Software
We’re excited to announce that we’ve raised a $25M Series B of funding to accelerate our work of modernizing on-prem software for the Kubernetes era. We embarked on this journey at the end of 2014 to make on-prem software be less terrible and eventually help it become amazing. Our initial traction and success with
Puppet and Replicated Partner for Kubernetes-Based Software Delivery
Puppet announced our new partnership last week. Puppet’s Continuous Delivery for Puppet Enterprise (CD4PE), a cloud-native solution for scaling DevOps automation and practices throughout an organization, will use KOTS for scale and operationalization across complex customer environments. KOTS provides Puppet with standardized tooling for deploying to either plain Linux VMs or to a Kubernetes cluster
SchemaHero 0.9 Released
Today we’re excited to announce the 0.9.0 release of SchemaHero. SchemaHero continues to be an OSS project we use internally and believe others will find useful as they move to Kubernetes. This release includes the ability to build custom workflows around schema migration approval (and rejection), a new kubectl plugin to manage SchemaHero, early support
