⏯️ Auto-scaling made easy in GKE with InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO)

Kubernetes horizontal pod auto-scaling (HPA) is the key to handle the unpredictable compute workload in healthcare systems. IKO helps orchestrating the IRIS container deployment in Kubernetes including the capability to configure HPA. This demo uses XSLT processing as an example to showcase this type of elasticity.

InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) 3.8 is now Generally Available.  IKO 3.8 adds new functionality along with numerous bug fixes and security updates.  Highlights include:

• Compute Groups allows you to deploy more than one type of compute node to handle different types of workloads in a single IrisCluster
• Consolidate Volumes – you can now choose to deploy with fewer volumes, such as consolidating data and WIJ on the same volume.

Follow the Installation Guide for guidance on how to download, install, and get started with IKO.  The complete IKO 3.

InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) 3.6 is now Generally Available.  IKO 3.6 adds significant new functionality along with numerous bug fixes.  Highlights include:

• Easily include Web Gateway sidecars for compute and data nodes.

InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO) 3.5 is now Generally Available.  IKO 3.5 adds significant new functionality along with numerous bug fixes.  Highlights include:

• Simplified setup of TLS across the Web Gateway, ECP, Mirroring, Super Server, and IAM
• The ability to run container sidecars along with compute or data nodes – perfect for scaling web gateways with your compute nodes.
• Changes to the CPF configmap and IRIS key secret are automatically processed by the IRIS instances when using IKO 3.5 with IRIS 2023.1 and up.

Hi Community,

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Spanish called "Deployments in Kubernetes with High Availability".

Date & Time: October 20, 4:00 PM CEST

Speaker: @Alberto Fuentes, Sales Engineer, InterSystems Iberia

Hey Developers,

We're pleased to invite you to join the next InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 Tech Talk: DevOps on June 2nd  at 10:00 AM EDT!

In this InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 Tech Talk, we focus on DevOps. We'll talk about InterSystems System Alerting and Monitoring, which offers unified cluster monitoring in a single pane for all your InterSystems IRIS instances. It is built on Prometheus and Grafana, two of the most respected open source offerings available.

Next, we'll dive into the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator, a special controller for Kubernetes that streamlines InterSystems IRIS deployments and management. It's the easiest way to deploy an InterSystems IRIS cluster on-prem or in the Cloud, and we'll show how you can configure mirroring, ECP, sharding and compute nodes, and automate it all.

Finally, we'll discuss how to speed test InterSystems IRIS using the open source Ingestion Speed Test. This tool is available on InterSystems Open Exchange for your own testing and benchmarking. 

Hey Developers,

⏯ Smart Data Services (Vision & Demo)

The InterSystems Kubernetes Operation (IKO) version 3.3 is now available via the WRC download page and the InterSystems Container Registry.

IKO simplifies working with InterSystems IRIS or InterSystems IRIS for Health in Kubernetes by providing an easy-to-use irisCluster resource definition. See the documentation for a full list of features, including easy sharding, mirroring, and configuration of ECP.

IKO 3.3 Highlights:

• Support for 2021.2 and 2022.1 editions of InterSystems IRIS & IRIS for Health
• Support for Kuberentes 1.21
• Deploy common System Alerting and Monitoring (SAM) configurations as part of your irisCluster
• InterSystems API Manager (IAM) can now also be deployed and managed as part of the irisCluster
• Automatic tagging of mirror pair active side, so a service can always point to the active mirror member.

Did you catch an Experience Lab at the 2021 Virtual Summit? Head over to the InterSystems Learning site to access all four of these hands-on exercises, and get up to speed on:

Hey Developers,

Watch as the presenter uses IKO to deploy the WebGateway, SAM, and InterSystems API Manager with the latest version of the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator: 

⏯ IKO: The InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (Version 3.0)

Hi All! For those of you who attended experience labs at the 2021 Virtual Summit, you may recall that one of the lab sessions was around Kubernetes. We've now converted that lab to be fully on-demand. You can launch a small cluster of VMs and follow the exercise to manage your Kubernetes cluster, deploy InterSystems IRIS containers to it, and watch its self-healing nature when destroying a pod.

It's a great introduction to Kubernetes if you are interested! See here: Achieving High Availability with InterSystems IRIS and Kubernetes

⏯ Intersystems IRIS Kubernetes Operator

Episode 20 of Data Points features a conversation with Bob Kuszewski about the Kubernetes and the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator (IKO). Take a listen to hear about some of the use cases and features of IKO, plus how it compares to InterSystems Cloud Manager (ICM) within the cloud space.

If you're looking for an introduction to Kubernetes as a technology, and a little teaser about the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator, check out the recently released Kubernetes Overview video. This video will introduce you to the functionality and use cases of Kubernetes, and explain a bit about how the InterSystems Kubernetes Operator makes it beneficial to use Kubernetes with InterSystems IRIS.

I am pleased to announce the availability of InterSystems Container Registry. This provides a new distribution channel for customers to access container-based releases and previews. All Community Edition images are available in a public repository with no login required. All full released images (IRIS, IRIS for Health, Health Connect, System Alerting and Monitoring, InterSystems Cloud Manager) and utility images (such as arbiter, Web Gateway, and PasswordHash) require a login token, generated from your WRC account credentials.

Hi Everyone,

Are you ready yet? Have you packed all you'll need for the summit? And don't forget the needed power-socket adapters if you come from outside the US! 

Have you signed up for the Container Bootcamp on Sunday? Or one of the various Experience Labs, the many informative sessions and one of the symposia on Wednesday afternoon?

Again, there is a mobile app for attendees that should help you keep it all under control and even allow you to book time with InterSystems personnel for a one-on-one deep-dive on whatever you need.
