Transforming Kubernetes into an Internal Developer Platform in 10 Minutes
An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is a powerful tool for providing self-service infrastructure for developers. It allows developers to manage application lifecycles without the constant need for IT team involvement, streamlining the process from development to production. With its widespread adoption, Kubernetes has become the standard for running application workloads across various organizations. However, its complexity often makes it less approachable for developers who need to focus on coding rather than managing infrastructure. That's where transforming Kubernetes into an IDP comes in, providing a developer-friendly layer that simplifies interactions with underlying resources. In this article, I will explain how to turn your Kubernetes cluster into an Internal Developer Platform with Qovery in just 10 minutes. Let's get started.
Get Ephemeral Environments on Kubernetes in Less than 10 Minutes
Qovery is a DevOps automation tool designed to make Kubernetes developer-friendly. It offers self-service capabilities, allowing developers to efficiently manage and scale their applications. One of the standout features of Qovery is the ability to create Ephemeral Environments, which we will focus on in this guide. So keep reading to see how you can get a fully operational Ephemeral Environments system on your Kubernetes Cluster in less than 10 minutes.
Experience Qovery on Your Local Machine
Qovery offers a streamlined, powerful platform for developers. Its goal is to simplify DevOps processes and enhance the overall developer experience. For those new to Qovery or considering adopting it, there's a simple way to test its capabilities on your local machine. Using the "qovery demo up" command, you can create a non-production environment to explore Qovery's features without any complicated setups. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you get started.
Deploying AI Apps with GPUs on AWS EKS and Karpenter
As AI and machine learning workloads continue to grow in complexity and size, the need for efficient and scalable infrastructure becomes more important than ever. In this tutorial, I will show you how to deploy AI applications on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) with Karpenter from scratch, leveraging GPU resources for high-performance computing. We'll use Qovery, an Internal Developer Platform that simplifies the deployment and management of applications, ensuring developers can focus on building their applications rather than managing infrastructure.
New Feature: Custom Kubernetes Annotations
Kubernetes annotations are key-value pairs attached to Kubernetes objects, providing a flexible way to extend the functionality of your Kubernetes resources without altering their internal specifications. These annotations serve as a tool to store additional metadata to tailor behavior, orchestrate tools, and interact seamlessly with third-party utilities that complement your Kubernetes environment. Today, we're excited to announce that Qovery supports the declaration of Custom Annotations for your Kubernetes clusters 🥳.
In practice : How to set up your BSPCE policy in a startup
Many HR leads have found themselves in my situation, especially when joining the startup/scale-up ecosystem.

I had to delve into the BSPCE topic at Qovery, and here’s what my journey looked like to lay the groundwork for a simple policy that aligns with our company's values and stage of maturity. Folks, let’s go back to basics regarding BSPCE and start with a reminder:
