Collaboration in incident response is crucial for effective resolution, starting with establishing a basic compact among responders. Grounding is a process that ensures alignment and common ground is maintained throughout an incident, encompassing initial common ground, public events so far, and the..

This guide shows how to wrangle container logs in Kubernetes—usingkubectl, shell tools, structured logging, and the Kubernetes Dashboard. It covers the basics and dives into how to scale up log collection and make observability less painful across clusters...

Kubernetes 1.34 turnsDynamic Resource Allocation (DRA)loose into General Availability—enabled by default. That cements native support for high-maintenance gear like GPUs, FPGAs, and any other quirky hardware your workloads need. The release also packs a fresh mix of alpha/beta features: tighter admi..

Kubernetes v1.34 bumpsServiceAccount token integration for Kubelet Credential Providersto beta. That means image pulls can now ditch long-lived secrets for workload-scoped tokens. Cleaner, safer, and more locked down per ServiceAccount...

Kubernetes 1.34 bumps theCPU Manager uncore-cache alignment policyto beta. It’s aimed at nodes withsplit uncore cache architectures. The policy groups all a container’s CPUs under the same uncore cache—cutting latency and easing contention for workloads that hate waiting. System shift:Kubernetes kee..

A fresh reference architecture built withEnvoy AI GatewayandKServebrings order to the GenAI chaos. One clean interface to route requests across internal and external LLMs—locked down with policies. It’s called aTwo-Tier Gateway Architecture. Think of it like a split-brain: external API traffic goes..

The CNCF just bumpedMetal3.ioup to incubating status. That’s a clear nod to rising demand forKubernetes-native bare-metal management. Metal3.io wires up physical servers as Kubernetes resources—no VMs in sight. It leans onIronicand theBare Metal Operatorto handle provisioning and lifecycle tasks lik..

Kubernetes 1.33 drops a new traffic policy that addszone-local routing. With it, kube-proxy now prefers endpoints in the same availability zone. Translation: less cross-AZ chatter, fewer surprise charges. On AWS, that can chop the usual $0.02/GB cross-AZ fee by up to 85%—especially in EKS clusters j..

TheExternal Secrets Operator (ESO)is moving again. After hitting pause from maintainer burnout, it’s back under CNCF incubation—with a rebooted structure in place. New governance, clear contributor paths, and support tracks for CI, core dev, and testing are all in. But don’t expect fresh releases ju..

A hands-on breakdown of Kubernetes autoscalers—HPA,VPA,Cluster Autoscaler,Karpenter, andKEDA—maps how each scales pods, nodes, and events. The hot pairing lately?Karpenterfor fast node spin-up, teamed withCloudPilot AIto wrangle Spot instances across 800+ compute types without melting costs...
