Gubernator Weekly Update: CoreDNS Aqueducts, SRE Stack, Network Topology & Cluster Auto-Updates! Gubernator Weekly Update Banner Review Gubernator Weekly Update Banner What an intense week for Gubernator (gbnt)! If you're new here, Gubernator is the "Goldilocks" container orchestrator that bridges the gap between Docker Swarm's simplicity (native Compose support, simple node joining) and Nomad's scheduling flexibility (hardware targeting, labels, task-based management). Over the past 7 days, Gubernator evolved from a single-node engine into a production-ready cluster ecosystem. Here is a breakdown of everything shipped this week! 1. Ingress & Service Discovery ("The Aqueducts") One of our biggest milestones this week was shipping automated internal DNS resolution and edge ingress routing: CoreDNS Integration: Every node running Gubernator can now deploy CoreDNS. Containers across all hosts can resolve internal service IPs using dynamic domain names (.gbnt.test). As containers spin up or die, Gubernator's manager updates CoreDNS records in real-time. Caddy Ingress: Exposing web services is now effortless. Services deployed with routing labels are automatically proxied by Caddy, managing SSL and HTTP/HTTPS ingress dynamically. 2. SRE Observability Suite (gbnt monitor init) Observability shouldn't require writing 500 lines of YAML. With a single command, gbnt monitor init, Gubernator deploys a complete, production-grade observability stack: Prometheus & cAdvisor: Detailed container and host-level metrics collection (CPU, RAM, Network I/O). Loki & Promtail: Centralized log aggregation across all containers. Grafana: Pre-configured dashboards for instant visualization out of the box. Jaeger Tracing: Full OpenTelemetry distributed tracing support (OTLP gRPC :4317 & HTTP :4318). Interactive Network Topology (Weave Scope Integration) Understanding how containers talk to each other across a distributed cluster can be tough. We integrated Weave Scope directly into the Flutter
