Once, management set the task of speeding up extensive computations using Apache Ignite in conjunction with MSSQL, showcasing a website with excellent illustrations and Java code examples. The site immediately drew attention with Zero Deployment, the description of which promises wonders: you don’t have to manually deploy your Java or Scala code on each node […]

Note from the translator: the article's author, Erkan Erol, an engineer from SAP, shares his exploration of the mechanisms of the kubectl exec command, so familiar to all working with Kubernetes. He accompanies the entire algorithm with listings of the Kubernetes source code (and related projects), which allow for a deep understanding of the topic as required. One Friday, someone approached me […]
