Containerization and virtualization are both technologies that allow multiple applications or workloads to run on a single physical machine or host.  Containers and virtual machines are the two most popular approaches to setting up a software infrastructure for your organization.  Containers are now a major player in cloud-native development. When combined with virtual machines (VMs)…

Scalability and elasticity are often used interchangeably (and wrongly so). While these two processes may sound similar, they differ in approach and style.  Before you learn the difference, it’s important to know why you should care about them. If you’re considering adding cloud computing services to your existing architecture, you need to assess your scalability…

Holding on to a cloud provider that no longer satisfies your growing and evolving infrastructure is a pointless exercise. One way to avoid getting stuck is opting for a multi-cloud approach to cloud hosting. Organizations need to factor in quality, costs, features, availability, and requirements before choosing a suitable multi-cloud solution that offers the best…

The growing need for online speed and efficiency has led businesses to rethink their digital marketing strategies. Whether a cab driver navigating with GPS, an employer collecting customer documents, or a hospital accessing a patient’s health records online, they all need web applications that are ready to use at the push of a button. Regardless…

Microservice architecture is extremely useful for developers while they create large and complex applications with multiple services. Microservices help to manage these applications by working with them as a cluster of small services that combine to form a major functionality. This cloud-native architectural approach has extensive usages for the developer community and lets them control…

Scalability is gaining traction and dynamism in the tech space. It’s a well-known concept among information technology (IT) and data professionals who often deal with changing application and system processing requirements. Scalability is measured by the ability of applications or systems to handle simultaneous requests. If an application or system can’t cope with increasing demand,…

Autoscaling is a critical capability for any organization planning to scale its websites, applications, and digital platforms while handling sudden traffic growth. Every application obtains the processing power it requires from a server or server farm on which it is hosted. Each server has a limited amount of processing power. So, what happens when the…

Round robin is one of the most extensively used load balancing techniques. Despite the development of many advanced load balancing methods, round robin is still relevant because it’s easy to understand and implement. It’s a relatively simple way of cyclically distributing client requests to multiple servers. This is particularly useful in high traffic situations where…

Kubernetes or K8s, as you know, is an open-source container orchestration system that is used for automating computer application scaling, management, and deployment. Designed by Google and maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Kubernetes is the solution of choice for many developers. While Kubernetes is an ideal solution to most microservice application delivery problems,…
