Terraform vs Kubernetes - working with each technology, workflows, use cases, and more.

For developers to be efficient, they need a strong setup, good habits, and tools they know and love to use. With all these ingredients, they’ll feel good about their workflow and focus more intensely on the products they’re building, which will help them more swiftly achieve their goals.

Authentication helps control access to cluster resources by first verifying a user’s identity. In Kubernetes, the API server needs to verify the identity of every request it receives. Such requests may come from a program like a pod or from a human user.

If you’ve worked with consistently growing development teams, there is a high chance that you have come across the complexities of managing dozens of tools and technologies such as containers, microservices, cloud resources, codebases and much more to reduce the DevOps overhead.

As your organization grows, deploying your software and maintaining all related systems can become more complex. This complexity, along with the desire to own the infrastructure stack without needing workarounds for off-the-shelf tools, drives many teams to implement an internal developer platform (IDP).

Containers were initially designed to be stateless, so building stateful applications in them can be tricky. Luckily, Kubernetes Statefulset solves this problem. It manages a set of replica pods, all with a unique identity. This makes it the perfect tool for managing applications...

This article will highlight what some of these tools are and how they are useful to you as a platform engineer.
