Automating Kafka with Ansible
In all areas of life, there are a lot of issues we are not aware of. To measure these problems, we use the so-called fulfillment rate. For example: with a fulfillment rate of 90%, a heart beat would stop every 85 seconds, and an average A4 page of text would contain 30 typos. A fulfillment rate of 99.9% (which seems a lot) still means 22,000 wrong bank bookings per hour, and a total of 32,000 missed heart beats per year. The answer is automation and standardization! These approaches help solve problems we are often not aware of.
Experiences of ATIX apprentices

Kubernetes kOps
The cloud and Kubernetes belong together, right? More or less, this is the case. Although containerized applications quickly find a home environment with cloud providers, for some myterious reasons, it’s not that easy to set up a Kubernetes environment in the cloud. Unless you use kOps, the tool written exactly for this purpose. This is how it works.
Configuration Management across Different Networks with AWX
At the Chemnitz Linux Days 2023, Ottavia Balducci, IT Consultant at ATIX, presented the advantages of AWX. AWX is a tool that can be used to configure hosts with Ansible. It is therefore particularly popular with larger organizations. AWX is open source, fully customisable, has a web UI, REST API, RBAC, CI/CD ... There are many reasons for working with AWX.
Configuring Hosts using Ansible
You can use Ansible to configure managed hosts within orcharhino. For our up-to-date documentation, see Configuring Hosts using Ansible.
Ansible is an automation engine and configuration management tool. It works without client and daemon and solely relies on Python and SSH. Ansible consists of a control node, for example a notebook, a workstation, or a server and managed nodes, that is the hosts in its inventory. You can use Ansible to configure hosts similar to Puppet and Salt.

New Adventures in ArgoCD: Automating Automation
ArgoCD is a great CICD tool for facilitating Git-based Kubernetes deployments. Helm is a widely used solution, with good reason, to simplify complex Kubernetes deployments and customize them to your needs. It's even supported by Argo per se. You can't ask for anything better than a combination of the two. Or can you?
Cloud-Ready with Go (Golang)
Digitization is a major topic these days. For example, more and more companies want to digitize and optimize their internal processes or services for customers. Often, they also have to keep up with the growing flow of customers by scaling their applications. In this context, the words cloud and Kubernetes often come up in the first conversation. There is no mention of a microservice-oriented or cloud-native development approach, for example with Golang.
