A few things stood out in my opinion: 👉 Most AI systems take far more than they give back. AI bots now account for a meaningful slice of web traffic. Googlebot alone generates mor.. read more

Stop Forwarding Errors, Start Designing Them

A fresh take on Rust error handling just dropped - and it's calling out the usual suspects. Forget blindly forwarding errors withanyhowor smearing context around withProvider. This approach pushes forstructured, intent-driven error types- errors that say what to do next (like "retry this") instead o.. read more

The Code Review That Cost $2 Million, CodeGood

New data shows only15% of code review comments catch real bugs. The rest? Nitpicks on style, naming, or formatting - stuff linters and AI were made to handle. Human reviews burn through$3.6M a yearin larger orgs and still miss the tough stuff: threading issues, system integration bugs, rare edge cas.. read more

BadPods Series: Everything Allowed on AWS EKS

A security researcher ran a full-blown container escape on EKS usingBadPods- a tool that spins up dangerously overprivileged pods. The pod broke out of its container, poked around the host node, moved laterally, and swiped AWS IAM creds. All of it slipped past EKS’s defaultPod Security Admission (PS.. read more

Kubernetes GPU Management Just Got a Major Upgrade

Kubernetes 1.34 droppedDynamic Resource Allocation (DRA)- think persistent volumes, but for GPUs and custom hardware. Vendors can now plug in drivers and schedulers for their devices, and workloads can pick exactly what they need. Coming in 1.35: a newworkload abstractionthat speaks the language of .. read more

From Deterministic to Agentic: Creating Durable AI Workflows with Dapr

Dapr droppedDurable Agents- a mashup of classic workflows and LLM-driven agents that can actually get things done and survive rough edges. They track reasoning steps, tool calls, and chat states like a champ. If things crash, no problem: Dapr Workflows and Diagrid Catalyst bring it all back... read more

AWX is the open source, community supported upstream project for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, formerly known as Ansible Tower. It gives teams a web based interface, a full REST API, and a distributed task engine on top of Ansible, turning command line playbook runs into a managed, auditable automation service.

The project began at AnsibleWorks as the commercial Ansible Tower product, and after Red Hat acquired Ansible, it open sourced the codebase as AWX in September 2017, positioning it as the development ground where new features land before they are hardened into the supported Automation Platform controller. With AWX, you organize automation around projects (synced from Git or other source control), inventories (static or dynamically pulled from cloud providers), credentials (stored encrypted and injected at runtime), and job templates that tie a playbook to its inventory and credentials. On top of that, it adds role based access control, a visual dashboard, job scheduling, workflow chaining, webhooks, and real time job output, so multiple teams can run, track, and delegate automation without sharing SSH keys or sitting at a terminal.

Modern AWX runs on Kubernetes or OpenShift through the AWX Operator, which manages installation, upgrades, and scaling declaratively, reflecting its shift from a single host application to a cloud native, container based platform. Because it is the upstream of a paid product, AWX moves fast and ships frequently, which makes it ideal for labs, learning, and self managed deployments, though teams needing formal support and long term stability typically run the downstream Automation Platform instead.
