Check out our demos to see QBO in action and discover its key features
In this demo, we’ll explore how QBO enhances ArgoCD by providing multi-architecture support (arm64 & amd64), seamless portability, and optimized performance on bare-metal infrastructures. Let’s dive in!
Turn Equinix Metal into a cloud platform with QBO
QBO is a cutting-edge platform that transforms bare-metal servers into powerful cloud solutions using containerized technology instead of traditional virtualization. This approach ensures metal performance, making it ideal for workloads like AI, databases, and real-time applications. This blog walks you through deploying **ClickHouse**, a columnar database, on QBO with optimal performance.
This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for deploying **GitLab** on **QBO**, leveraging its powerful features such as **integrated load balancing**, **automated wildcard TLS certificates**, and **MinIO as a backend for GitLab's container registry**.
Deploy a sample application composed of four separate microservices used to demonstrate various Istio features on QBO Kubernetes Engine (QKE)
Deploy Kubeflow on QBO Kubernetes Engine (QKE)
QBO, with its containerized architecture and metal performance, simplifies networking and service management in Kubernetes. One of its standout features is the management of kernel-level load balancing using IPVS (IP Virtual Server), providing a robust and efficient way to handle network traffic.
In this demo, we will walk through setting up a distributed MinIO deployment on QBO, configuring external access, and testing data uploads using `mc` (MinIO Client).
Deploy a Coffe & Tea app with NGINX Ingress Controller on QBO Kubernetes Engine (QKE)
Deploy NVIDIA GPU Operator on QBO Kubernetes Engine (QKE)
QBO provides a demo repository with demos that can be deployed in qbo for testing purposes. The demos are deployed using a typing bot. All that is required is to start the bot and tap enter to continue. You’ll see all the commands that will be executed as qbot is typing them. Keep in mind that the commands are not simulated but real commands that are just typed for you. The bot’s name is qbot
QBO's innovative container-based approach ensures that workloads like **Redpanda**, a streaming data platform, run with metal performance. This blog demonstrates how to deploy Redpanda on QBO while leveraging its containerized Kubernetes ecosystem.
Configure persistent storage for Let’s Encrypt Certs on QBO Kubernetes Engine (QKE)
