Can You Run a MariaDB Cluster on a $150 Kubernetes Lab? I Gave It a Shot

If you're like me, learning how to run databases inside Kubernetes sounds better when it's hands-on, physical, and brutally honest. So instead of spinning up cloud VMs or using Kind or minikube on a laptop, I went small and real: four Orange Pi 3 LTS boards (a Raspberry Pi alternative), each with just 2GB RAM. My goal? Get MariaDB โ€” and eventually Galera replication โ€” running on Kubernetes using the officialMariaDB...

Driving DevOps With Smart, Scalable Testing

DevOps practices can require software to be released fast, sometimes with multiple deployments throughout the day. This is critical to DevOps, and to accomplish it, developers must test in minutes to determine if software will move forward, be sent back to the drawing board or canned altogether. Identifying and correcting bugs prior to production is essential to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and testing...
