Graph data readily lends itself to visualization – and notebooks make it easy to do just that. In this post, we will test out the Graph Notebook tool put out by the AWS team on JanusGraph.

In this blog post, the first in a series, we will be taking a look at Kubernetes. More specifically the differences between Local setups and setups on a cloud provider like AWS and Digital Ocean. We will take a look at how to spin up a basic cluster on both Local and Cloud.

In Apache Cassandra Lunch #27: Cassandra on Baremetal / Virtual Machines / Containers, we cover different methods in which we can deploy Cassandra whether it be on Baremetal, Virtual Machines, or Containers; as well as, pros, cons, and deployment tools. The live recording of Cassandra Lunch, which includes a more in-depth discussion, is also embedded below in case you were not able to attend live. If you would like to attend Apache Cassandra Lunch live, it is hosted every Wednesday at 12 PM EST. Register here now!

Today I’m going to walk you through how to deploy Kubernetes on AWS using Terraform. In Part 1 of this series, I mentioned that I had a tough time getting my terraform demonstration to work because of my auto-scaling configuration. That resulted in endless instances being spun up on my AWS account and prevented me from creating more due to the limit. This time around I was able to get my demo working successfully! The procedure and setup are different from my first attempt however I had an in-depth overview of Kubernetes in the first webinar so I will include them in the same series.

In this blog post, I’m going to introduce you to Ansible, an open-source software provisioning, configuration management, and application-deployment tool enabling infrastructure as code. I’ll cover what Ansible is, what it can do, and how you can start using it today. I have also linked my accompanying webinar in this post to help you get started!
