What are Error Budgets? A Guide to Managing Reliability

OneUptime shows how to put **error budgets** to work—keeping feature velocity in check without tanking reliability. The goal: ship fast, stay within SLOs. They do it by tracking **burn rates**, syncing across teams, and tuning SLOs to match how users actually use the product. Less guesswork, more s.. read more

Why Rancher's Founders Pivoted From Kubernetes to Agentic AI

Obot.ai just dropped out of stealth with $35M in seed and a big swing: it’s building a control plane for agentic AI, anchored on the now-standard **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**. Its **MCP Gateway** handles registry, secure proxying, RBAC, and observability for MCP servers. Think API gateway, but .. read more

v1.34: Pod Level Resources Graduated to Beta

Kubernetes v1.34 bumps **Pod Level Resources** to Beta—and flips them on by default. Now you can set CPU, memory, and hugepages limits for the whole Pod, not just per container. That means smoother scheduling, stricter resource caps, and less sidecar thrashing. **Why it matters:** This shifts Kuber.. read more

Kata Containers is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project designed to close the security gap between traditional Linux containers and virtual machines. Instead of sharing a single host kernel like standard containers, Kata Containers launches each pod or container inside its own lightweight virtual machine using hardware virtualization.

This approach dramatically reduces the attack surface and prevents container escape vulnerabilities, making Kata ideal for multi-tenant, untrusted, or sensitive workloads. Despite using VMs under the hood, Kata is optimized for fast startup times and integrates seamlessly with Kubernetes through the Container Runtime Interface (CRI), allowing it to be used alongside runtimes like containerd and CRI-O.

Kata Containers is commonly used in scenarios such as multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters, confidential computing, sandboxed AI workloads, serverless platforms, and agent execution environments where strong isolation is mandatory. It supports multiple hypervisors, including QEMU, Firecracker, and Cloud Hypervisor, and continues to evolve toward faster boot times, lower memory overhead, and better hardware acceleration support.
