As your number of deployed applications within Kubernetes grows, you may want to isolate them from a network point of view. By default, Kubernetes does not offer any network isolation, all pods of all your namespaces can talk to each other without any isolation, and even on network port that you have not defined. Yes, that's scary! There are different approaches and tools to do network isolation; let's take a look at the NetworkPolicy.

The AWS Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) automatically distributes your incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses, in one or more Availability Zones, ultimately increasing the availability and fault tolerance of your applications. In other words, ELB, as its name implies, is responsible for distributing frontend traffic to backend servers in a balanced manner. ELB monitors the health of its registered targets and routes traffic only to the healthy targets. For example, if a system has only one web server, for system applications with high traffic, long response times or no response will often occur. At this time, you will want to increase the specifications of the web server or increase the number of web servers. If there are two web servers, on which server should the traffic come in? At this time, there must be something responsible for receiving and distributing traffic. That something is ELB.

Terraform is probably the most used tool to deploy cloud services. It's a fantastic tool, easily usable, with descriptive language (DSL) called HCL, team-oriented, supporting tons of cloud providers, etc. On paper, it's an attractive solution. And it's easy to start delegating more and more responsibilities to Terraform, as it's like a swiss knife; it knows how to perform several kinds of actions against several varieties of technologies.

Today, at Qovery we have moved from Slack to Discord. We are a software company solving developer problems - application deployment. Solving developer problems require to have a close contact with the developers community. For team communication, we used a dedicated Slack workspace, for community communication - another one. Discord has been a real lifesaver for us. Let's start to tell you why..

Between late 2019 and early 2020, I interviewed more than 200 CTOs of growing US and EU startups on the topics of the Cloud and their working methodologies. I discovered that 86% of these SMB startups use the Cloud and that 48% started their business on Heroku and then migrated to a Cloud provider - especially AWS (Amazon Web Services).

Kubernetes is the most popular Open Source technology of the last five years. Google created it to allow companies to use container (Docker) applications in production. Today, Kubernetes is the new standard for running applications in the Cloud or on its servers (on-premise). I even heard from a Cloud architect from Azure: "our customers no longer come to us to do Cloud, but to do Kubernetes". That's to say how much a utility software* upsets a whole ecosystem. Despite all the very positive elements we can read about Kubernetes, there are also dark sides. Here are the seven things that nobody will tell you about Kubernetes.

All developers are not equal, some know-how to deploy their applications, others don’t. But now it’s over! With Qovery, all developers can deploy their application in the Cloud in just a few seconds. Qovery integrates seamlessly with Github and requires no effort from the developer. We know how it can be painful for developers to deploy applications, manage staging/development/features environments, synchronize databases and all system stuff - even in the Cloud.  Developers should spend time doing what they love - developing applications, instead of wasting time on configuring databases, CDN, cache, network... That's why we decided to create Qovery. The first Container as a Service platform that allows any developer (junior, senior, backend, frontend...) to deploy applications in just a few minutes.
