v1.35: New level of efficiency with in-place Pod restart

Kubernetes 1.35, as you may know, introducedin-place Pod restarts(alpha). It's a real reset: all containers, init and sidecars included - without killing the Pod or kicking off a reschedule. Think restart without the cloud drama. Big win for workloads with heavy inter-container dependencies or massi.. read more

1.35: Enhanced Debugging with Versioned z-pages APIs

Kubernetes 1.35 makes a quiet-but-crucial upgrade: z-pages debugging endpoints now returnstructured, machine-readable JSON. That means tools- not just tired humans - can parse control plane state directly. The responses areversioned, backward-compatible, and tucked behind feature flags for now... read more

The 2026 Data Engineering Roadmap: Building Data Systems for the Agentic AI Era

Data engineering’s getting flipped.AI agentsandLLMsaren’t just tagging along anymore - they’re the main users now. That means engineers need to buildcontext-aware, machine-readable data systemsthat don’t just store info but actually make sense of it. Think:vector databases,knowledge graphs,semantic .. read more

Streamlining Security Investigations with Agents

Slack broke down how it's threading AI into its product without torching user trust.Slack AIleans hard ontenant-specific data isolationandzero data retention- no leftover crumbs from LLM interactions. Instead of piping user data through someone else’s APIs, Slack runs LLMs onits own infrawhere it ca.. read more

2025: The year in LLMs

2025 was the year LLMs stopped just answering questions and started building things.Reasoning modelslike OpenAI’s o-series and Claude Code took over tool-driven workflows. Asynchronous coding agentsbroke out. These models didn’t just write code - they ran it, debugged it, then did it again. That loo.. read more

My LLM coding workflow going into 2026

Anthropic saysClaude Code writes about 90% of its own code now. Why? Because devs are getting smart with AI. They're slicing problems into tight, testable chunks and running structured workflows that keep LLMs on a short leash. It's not just prompts anymore. Think context packaging, multi-agent setu.. read more

Race Condition in DynamoDB DNS System: Analyzing the AWS US-EAST-1 Outage

A long AWS smackdown in US-EAST-1 traced back to a ticking time bomb inDynamoDB’s automated DNS system. The flaw torpedoed EC2 networking, hobbled Lambda and Fargate, and dragged down theNetwork Load Balancer. Endpoints ghosted. Configs stalled. Everything snowballed. AWS says they’ll upgrade EC2 th.. read more

You don’t need NAT gateway to deploy Lambda into VPC

AWS just made a big dent in NAT gateway bills. You can now runLambda in VPCs with IPv6 and an egress-only Internet gateway- no more always-on NAT draining your wallet. Keep the private subnets locked down. Still get outbound Internet access. IPv6 handles the traffic, slicing out the NAT middleman... read more  

You don’t need NAT gateway to deploy Lambda into VPC
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.
