Kubegraph is a simple tool that allows visualizing Kubernetes resources (Pods, Deployments, Replica Sets, and so on) from the specified Kubernetes namespace in real-time. Kubegraph also allows you to store the events from a Kubernetes cluster in a file, so you can replay the events again without connecting to the cluster. And last but not least, you can use the saved events to generate a standalone HTML file, that allows you to replay the visualization in your browser without the cluster and Kubegraph itself. Examples: Example 1 Create Replication Controller and Deployment, scale the Deployment up and down, use the Deployment to roll out a new version, and, finally, delete both Replication Controller and Deployment. Example 2 Install Sock Shop application and then delete it. Example 3 Install Sock Shop application and keep it running. The project started as a proof of concept of a new monitoring system for Kubernetes, that works with a cluster through its public API

Mike de Waard wrote a wonderful "Machine Learning for Developers" tutorial: https://xyclade.github.io/MachineLearning/

I like Groovy's features such as implicit closure coercion and implicit parameters for closures . Recently, I found a great article regarding the same features in Kotlin: Quick Tip: Write Cleaner Code With Kotlin SAM Conversions

In the 4th part, we will learn how to create dynamic tasks in Gradle using project parameters. Also, we will discuss very useful features, such as task name abbreviation and task rules. Finally, we will implement a simple CLI, which is based on Gradle tasks and uses the same principles as Kubernetes CLI (kubectl). https://linchpiner.github.io/gradle-for-devops-4.html

In this part, we will learn how to do the actual stuff with Gradle: execute commands locally and remotely, call external scripts and tools. We will take a closer look at the Gradle SSH plguin, which allows executing remote operations on multiple servers in parallel. https://linchpiner.github.io/gradle-for-devops-3.html

Cheatsheet and visualization of statuses and available actions for servers managed by MaaS (Metal as a Service), a bare metal provisioning tool developed by Canonical. https://linchpiner.github.io/maas-statuses-and-actions.html

The second part focuses on setting parameters for the Gradle project, keeping them in one place, defining their default values. https://linchpiner.github.io/gradle-for-devops-2.html

Two posts in Christian Posta's blog about serverless architecture challenges and their solutions: The Hardest Part About Microservices: Your Data The Hardest Part of Microservices: Calling Your Services

This great article written by Mike Roberts provides an in-depth look at serverless architecture, explains what is serverless and what it is not, its benefits and drawbacks. Why, in the most cases, serverless means vendor lock-in. https://martinfowler.com/articles/serverless.html

The first post about using Gradle as a DevOps "glue" for your projects. The focus is on simple distribution and installation via Gradle wrapper, and task-based approach for automating project operations. A general approach allows defining tasks, their dependencies and ordering rules. Gradle, in this case, works as a framework and engine to keep such tasks definitions and their documentation in one place. https://linchpiner.github.io/gradle-for-devops-1.html
