Edge Device Management

Tools and practices for managing containerized workloads on edge devices, ensuring consistent deployment and updates.

Edge Orchestration

Management and coordination of containerized applications across distributed edge locations.

Edge Security

Security measures and practices specific to containerized edge computing environments, protecting distributed workloads.

Edge Workload Scheduling

Techniques for efficiently distributing containerized workloads across edge devices, optimizing resource usage.

Edge-Cloud Syncing

Synchronization of data and state between edge containers and cloud-based systems, ensuring consistency.

Egress Gateway

Component controlling outbound traffic from a container cluster to external services, enhancing security and traffic management.

Egress Gateways

Service mesh components managing outbound traffic from the mesh to external services, providing fine-grained control.

Egress Traffic Control

Management and policies for outbound network traffic from containers, ensuring security and compliance.

Elastic APM

Application Performance Monitoring tool for containerized applications in the Elastic Stack.

Encrypted Secrets

Sensitive data stored in an encrypted form in container orchestration platforms, enhancing security.

End-to-End Testing

Comprehensive testing of containerized applications from start to finish, validating entire system functionality.

EndpointSlices

Kubernetes API resource providing a more scalable alternative to Endpoints for service discovery.

Environment Variables in Containers

Key-value pairs passed to containers at runtime, used for configuration and runtime behavior control.

Envoy Proxy

High-performance proxy often used in service mesh implementations for containerized environments.

Ephemeral Containers

Temporary containers used for troubleshooting or debugging in Kubernetes pods, without affecting the main containers.

Ephemeral Volumes

Short-lived storage volumes in Kubernetes that share the lifecycle of a pod, useful for temporary data storage.

Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP)

Routing strategy for load balancing network traffic across multiple paths in container networks.

Etcd

Distributed key-value store that provides a reliable way to store data across a cluster of machines.

Event Sinks

Destinations for cluster-level events in container orchestration platforms, used for monitoring and alerting.

Event Sources

Components or services generating events in containerized environments, often used in event-driven architectures.

Event Sourcing

Pattern of storing changes to application state as a sequence of events, often used in microservices architectures.

Event Sourcing Pattern

Design pattern capturing all changes to application state as a sequence of events, useful in distributed systems.

Event Sourcing in Containers

Implementation of event sourcing pattern in containerized microservices architectures, ensuring data consistency.

Event-driven Architectures

Design approach where containerized services produce, detect, and react to events, enabling loose coupling and scalability.

Eviction Policies

Rules determining which pods to terminate when a node is under resource pressure in Kubernetes clusters.
