    Kubernetes without nodes

    Fly Kubernetes allows for a node-less Kubernetes setup using a combination of a trimmed-down Kubernetes version called k3s for the control plane and Virtual kuet, which emulates traditional kubelet behavior. Instead of worker nodes, Fly uses virtual nodes and its own machines API to manage pods and orchestration. This decentralized approach offloads scheduling decisions to Fly’s own orchestrator, leveraging high availability and self-managed physical machines.

    Top 10 Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Scanning Tools

    Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scanning tools help detect misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in IaC config files before deployment. This prevents broken and unsafe configurations from affecting live environments. Various types of tools, such as linters, static code analysis (SCA) tools, and vulnerability scanners, provide different levels of analysis and security enforcement. Integrating these tools into CI/CD pipelines ensures continuous and automated security checks, improving overall infrastructure reliability and compliance.

    Multi-Tenancy Kubernetes in 2024

    Multi-tenancy in Kubernetes allows multiple divisible clusters within a single main cluster, making efficient use of resources and reducing costs. Tools like vCluster help achieve better isolation, resource usage, and tenant autonomy by providing each tenant with its own control plane. While namespace-level isolation offers some separation, true multi-tenancy requires additional tools and automation.

    We use containers now. Here's why.

    Fly.io now supports running containers inside fly machines, a shift from their previous method of unpacking Docker images directly onto lightweight virtual machines. This change, driven by the need for sidecar containers in their managed Kubernetes service, improves flexibility and allows for tighter coupling of services. Fly machines use a combination of Firecracker hypervisor and the pilot init process to manage containers, making it possible to deploy and manage multiple images separately within a single virtual machine.
