Infrastructure at your Service
Over the last years GitLab became one of the most popular and powerful open source git source code platform. From pure source code repository to a DevOps platform, it’s interesting to see how GitLab has evolved and this is reflected in the technological choices made by the technical teams. GitLab can be deployed on Cloud or On-premise environments in multiple ways; automatically (packages) manually (compile all sources)…. https://about.gitlab.com/install/ This blog post aims to explain how…
One of the most important and basic concept in Kubernetes is the Service exposition. How about exposing a Kubernetes Service deployed inside a cluster to outside traffic? Let’s have a look on the different approaches to expose a Kubernetes Service outside the cluster and particularly the role of the Ingress Controller. NodePort, Load Balancers, and Ingress Controllers In the Kubernetes world, there are three general approaches to exposing your application. NodePort A NodePort is an…
This 2020 new year began with a really exiting DevOps Event in Geneva. Kubernetes, Helm, Cloud Native, CNCF, CI/CD, Ansible, Terraform,… So much topics around DevOps that was in every people mouth. This confirm that DevOps is a good choice for any retraining 😉 This is effectively the next generation in the IT world. For this second edition, around 300 peoples were attending the event. Thanks to the organizers During the 1st day, I attended…
How can you connect an external DFC Client to docbrokers and Repositories hosted on Kubernetes Pods? That seems to be a very simple question yet it might prove difficult… Let’s talk about this challenge in this blog and possible solutions/workarounds. As you all know, Kubernetes is using containers so just like for a basic Docker container, you won’t be able to access it from the outside by default. On Docker, you will need to expose…
For a few months now, we started a huge project at a customer; build a complete CI/CD platform for Documentum. The final goal is to create a CI/CD process for platform and software delivery to reduce as possible the delivery of the releases. To achieve this goal, 2 main products have been introduced at our customer by our DevOps team: Kubernetes (as the new “virtualization” platform) and Jenkins X (for CI/CD). Based on these 2…
On this second day here at DevOps World in Lisbon, I built a very interesting and intensive program of sessions to attend which I will explain to you more in detail below. This was also the opportunity for us (Arnaud and I) to meet our main customer from whom we are working with Jenkins X each day. It is always interesting to be able to meet physically the people with whom we collaborate, even if…

Nowadays the market for cloud providers is very competitive. Large companies are fighting a very hard battle over the services they provide. Each offers a wide range of more or less identical products with specific features for each. In my point of view, having deployed Kubernetes clusters in several environments (Cloud and On-Premise), I pay particular attention to Google Cloud for its Google Kubernetes Engine offer. The deployment of a Kubernetes cluster is very fast…
Provisioning a K8s infrastructure may be performed in different ways. Terraform has a connector called the Kubernetes provider but it doesn’t allow building and deploying a Kubernetes cluster. The cluster must be up and running before using the provider. Fortunately, there are different cloud-specific provider depending which cloud provider you want to provision your cluster. In our CI pipeline for the MSSQL DMK maintenance, we provision SQL Server containers on Linux to perform then different…
