  What is Kubernetes: Kubernetes in an open source container management tool hosted by Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). This is also known as the enhanced version of Borg which was developed at Google to manage both long running processes and batch jobs, which was earlier handled by separate systems. Kubernetes comes with a capability of automating deployment, scaling of application, and operations of application containers across clusters. It is capable of creating container centric infrastructure. Features of Kubernetes Continues development, integration and deployment Containerized infrastructure Application-centric management Auto-scalable infrastructure Environment consistency across development testing and production Loosely coupled infrastructure, where each component can act as a separate unit Higher density of resource utilization Predictable infrastructure which is going to be created Kubernetes - Cluster Architecture As seen in the following diagram, Kubernete...

  Ansible is an open-source software provisioning, configuration management, and application-deployment tool. It runs on many Unix-like systems, and can configure both Unix-like systems as well as Microsoft Windows. It includes its own declarative language to describe system configuration. Ansible was written by Michael DeHaan and acquired by Red Hat in 2015. Ansible is agentless, temporarily connecting remotely via SSH or Windows Remote Management (allowing remote PowerShell execution) to do its tasks. Platform support Control machines have to be a Linux/Unix host (for example SUSE Linux Enterprise, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Debian, CentOS, macOS, BSD, Ubuntu, and Python 2.7 or 3.5 is required. Managed nodes, if they are Unix-like, must have Python 2.4 or later. For managed nodes with Python 2.5 or earlier, the python-simplejson package is also required. Since version 1.7, Ansible can also manage Windows nodes. In this case, native PowerShell remoting supported by the WS-Managemen...

  This article describes how to restore Azure VM data from the recovery points stored in  Azure Backup  Recovery Services vaults. Restore options Azure Backup provides several ways to restore a VM. Restore option Details Create a new VM Quickly creates and gets a basic VM up and running from a restore point. You can specify a name for the VM, select the resource group and virtual network (VNet) in which it will be placed, and specify a storage account for the restored VM. The new VM must be created in the same region as the source VM. If a VM restore fails because an Azure VM SKU wasn't available in the specified region of Azure, or because of any other issues, Azure Backup still restores the disks in the specified resource group. Restore disk Restores a VM disk, which can then be used to create a new VM. Azure Backup provides a template to help you customize and create a VM. The restore job generates a template that you can download and use to specify custom VM setting...
