- Kaniko: Building images without Docker🐳🔫Building container images is a pretty common stage within the modern CI flows, in which these images are the main artifact used to distribute and run apps. Building images in a “classic” way implies using docker as a daemon and the docker CLI. This approach can be easily implemented in local environments, where all you need is a dockerfile, the source code and the dependencies to package. However, when it comes to building images within a CI system, doing it at scale and in a secure way is not as trivial as it is to do it locally, specially when […]

- Ksniff: packet capture at pod level for k8s 🕵️♂️📦Troubleshooting containers in Kubernetes is a recurring topic that you may face regularly. Logging and monitoring tools come in really handy here as they help you better understanding what is going on in the cluster or in the containers itself. Besides, it is possible to get valuable insights with the help of the classic kubectl commands such as kubectl describe, kubectl logs or kubectl exec.

- Helmfile: turbocharging Helm ☸️🔧Helm is definitely one the most used tools in the Kubernetes world. It comes in pretty handy as it is a deployment tool, a package manager and a templating tool which can help customizing the behavior of application releases based on the values used. Plus, it offers ideal features for its integration in modern CI/CD environments, making it a must-to-have ‘swiss army knife’ in your DevOps toolset. Helm works with charts, which act as independent software packages, but for complex environments in which several charts have to be deployed, there’s no easy way to handle all the releases at once.

- Terraboard: Graphic Terraform state manager🌍🖥Dealing with multiple terraform remote states can become a rather complex task. Besides, querying resources with terraform CLI isn’t very visual 😅. In this post we will present Terraboard, an open source tool developed by Camptocamp that solves these issues. Terraboard provides a web interface which also adds a diff tool to compare different resource versions. It currently supports terraform states in both AWS S3 and Terraform Cloud backends. Testing it locally 💻 Terraboard is distributed as a CLI written in Go, alongside an AngularJS web UI, and it requires a Postgres database in order to work. There are several […]
