One of the primary motivations for using the cloud are flexibility and cost saving. The problem is that without ongoing management and oversight, the cloud budget can grow to dimensions that eliminate profitability.A recent study on the cost of using the cloud has shown that companies pay an average of 35% more on cloud services than they really should. A total of over $60 billion is being wasted on cloud services that are not in use.In this article, I will share my conclusions from recent cloud cost optimization processes and review a number of ways and tools to significantly reduce cloud costs 30–50%, without sacrificing performance.

Kubernetes provides a complete solution to managing containers, but there are cases where it is not the best solution.The main disadvantage of kubernetes is its complexity and learning curve. This complexity is due to several reasons:We need to know both the “language” of Docker and the “language” of kubernetes.There are a lot of “moving parts” in the infrastructure (kube-apiserver, etcd, kube-scheduler, kube-controller, kubelet, kube-proxy etc..)There are many types of objects (Service, Pod, Deployment, ReplicaSet)A vast amount of features that we do not necessarily need.In (...)

Docker provides two good options for moving your code into an image or container: bind mounts and the Dockerfile COPY instruction. In this post, I’ll explain why images should always use the COPY instruction in production, and why it may be more convenient to use bind mounts in development.Dockerfile COPY InstructionThe COPY instruction in a Dockerfile is used to copy files or directories from the host machine filesystem into an image.
