A good post with a brief history of ITIL based ITSM, and why the focus on services can get lost in processes. Interesting point about the different between IT services and IT management.

Understanding how network traffic flows through Kubernetes can help with the inevitable debugging. This post breaks out nc and iptables and shows how traffic gets from load balancer to pod.

A neat approach to running continuous integration tests against an ephemeral Kubernetes cluster, in this case in Travis CI.

Free Webinar: How BI & Data Science Gets Results
November 16, Online

Statistical/data science models can now run on Hadoop in a much more cost-effective manner than a few years ago. This results in fostering the convergence of traditional BI and Data Science disciplines (machine learning, artificial intelligence... etc). Join the discussion with an incredible panel including ODPi, 4C Decision, ZEPL, and Pivotal, as we'll share how this phenomenon is going to impact the Hadoop standard.

Tools
=====

Kapitan is another Jsonnet based configuration tool for Kubernetes. As well as configuration templates it provides built-in support for generating documentation and scripts, and a tool for separating data from configuration.

Tarmak is a new toolkit for managing and provisioning a Kubernetes cluster. It makes use of Packer, Puppet, Terraform and Docker to provide a degree of platform independence, but provides a higher-level CLI interface and good defaults for a secure, CI/CD ready cluster.
