Stress tests on the Ryzen 9 5900X uncovered a big gap between **reported CPU utilization** and what the chip actually pushes. Around 50% on paper? Could mean close to full throttle in reality—thanks to sneaky behaviors from **SMT resource sharing** and **Turbo frequency scaling**. **Takeaway:** Raw..

A fresh roundup drops20 go-to Linux commandsfor production sysadmins, dialing in on modern defaults likehtop > top,ss > netstat, andip > ifconfig. The shift? Faster tools that actually get updates. Built with systemd in mind, too. Expect the usual suspects—journalctl,rsync,crontab—all still pulling..

A new SLI evolution model lays out a maturity roadmap—from rebranded latency/error metrics to ones that actually track business impact. It replaces shallow signals and pulls in the stuff that matters: how service failures hit user goals, tasks, and bottom lines...

Azure dropped **AKS Automatic**, a new managed Kubernetes tier that tries to do it all—so you don’t have to. It comes with baked-in best practices: autoscaling via HPA, VPA, KEDA, and Karpenter. Automated patching. Node repair. Monitoring. All wired up by default. You still get full access to the ..

Kubernetes v1.34 bumps **automated recovery from botched PVC expansions** to GA. Users can now fix bad volume size requests—no admin, no drama. It cleans up unused quota, slows down retry spam, and surfaces progress with new PVC status fields...

A new JetBrains IDE plugin throws Kubernetes security best practices straight into your deployment manifests—right where they belong. Think: checks for `runAsRoot`, privileged mode, `hostPath`, host ports, and sketchy sysctls. No hand-waving. It enforces stuff like: - Default `runAsNonRoot` - Drop ..

Kubernetes v1.34 lands with an alpha upgrade to **[KEP-4680](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-node/4680-add-resource-health-to-pod-status)**, pushing **Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA)** into smarter territory: health-aware Pods. DRA drivers can now stream device heal..

Kubernetes 1.34 graduates the taint eviction controller to GA. Now, the node lifecycle controller only applies taints, while a dedicated taint eviction controller manages pod eviction. First split in 1.29, now stable in 1.34...

Kubernetes 1.34 rolls in **consumable capacity** for Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA). That means device plugins can now carve up resources—GPU memory, NIC bandwidth, etc.—into precise slices for Pods, ResourceClaims, and namespaces. The scheduler tracks it all, so nothing spills over...
