The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) isn’t just another industry trend; it’s changing how businesses operate by bridging the gap between physical machinery and digital systems. This connectivity allows for real-time data insights, smarter automation, and more proactive decision-making. But the path to these benefits can be complicated. As IIoT projects grow, companies often face a tangled web of diverse devices, different software environments, and complex network setups. That’s where Portainer comes in. By managing Docker and Kubernetes-equipped gateways and PLCs, Portainer helps keep things consistent and operations running smoothly.
In the evolving landscape of enterprise IT, Kubernetes has emerged as the cornerstone of modern application deployment strategies. Red Hat® OpenShift® has quickly become a preferred Kubernetes distribution for enterprises, largely due to its extensive support from Independent Software Vendors (ISVs).
Many organizations choose OpenShift because their critical business applications are certified to run on this platform, ensuring reliability and support. However, as organizations scale, the complexity of managing multiple Kubernetes clusters can become a significant challenge.
This is where Portainer, a powerful multi-cluster management tool, comes into play. By integrating Portainer with OpenShift Kubernetes Engine, enterprises can manage their Kubernetes environments more efficiently and cost-effectively, without the need for the more expensive OpenShift Container Platform or Platform Plus licenses.

Navigating the digitized realm presents formidable challenges in integrating the Operational Technology (OT) and information technology (IT) worlds. OT systems, with PLCs, DCSs, and SCADA systems are highly complex, which increases the difficulty of tasks such as deploying firmware updates and managing device controls such as controlling the OT/ IT infrastructure during a cyber security attack and air gapping. The nuanced requirements and diverse infrastructures demand sophisticated solutions. Amidst these challenges, Portainer’s advanced capabilities of Edge Configuration and Edge Stacks can be leveraged for real outcomes. Its edge features offer a promising avenue for streamlining OT network deployment and management, potentially transforming cumbersome processes into efficient and seamless operations.
For a few years, I’ve been monitoring 3 Digital Ocean servers with Datadog and using Datadog DogStatsD to submit custom metrics to Datadog. I am a big fan of Datadog and will continue recommending them. However, it became a bit too expensive for my needs, so I started looking for…
In today’s fast-paced software development environment, organizations are increasingly adopting Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) to streamline and optimize the developer experience. An IDP is a comprehensive system designed to support the entire software development lifecycle by providing developers with the tools, environments, and services they need to build, test, and deploy applications efficiently. While an IDP encompasses many components, including infrastructure, pipelines, and services, the developer portal is the user-facing element that consolidates these resources into a unified interface.
