Building an Event-Driven Network Policy Engine with eBPF and Cilium

Running iptables -L on a node in a 500-node cluster can cause the terminal to freeze due to kube-proxy writing 40,000–60,000 rules across various chains. Conntrack tracks each flow with a global spinlock, becoming a bottleneck past 80,000 connections per second. Cilium replaces this path entirely by.. read more

Why cloud native belongs at the heart of agentic AI: Lessons from building a multi-agent security platform on Kubernetes

In March, Willem Berroubache gave a talk at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam, addressing questions about building agentic AI on cloud native foundations. The internal security-operations platform at Orange Innovation utilizes A2A protocol for inter-agent coordination, MCP for enviro.. read more

Introducing the Cluster API plugin for Headlamp

Headlamp is an open-source, extensible Kubernetes SIG UI project designed to let you explore, manage, and debug cluster resources directly from a browser. Cluster API (CAPI) is a Kubernetes sub-project that brings declarative, Kubernetes-style APIs to cluster lifecycle management. It lets platform t.. read more

GLM-5.2 vs Claude Opus

After a head-to-head coding test, you can use GLM-5.2 as a low-cost open-weights coding model and choose Opus when you need stronger correctness, faster responses, or visual self-checking... read more  

GLM-5.2 vs Claude Opus
Pelagia is a Kubernetes controller that provides all-in-one management for Ceph clusters installed by Rook. It delivers two main features:

Aggregates all Rook Custom Resources (CRs) into a single CephDeployment resource, simplifying the management of Ceph clusters.
Provides automated lifecycle management (LCM) of Rook Ceph OSD nodes for bare-metal clusters. Automated LCM is managed by the special CephOsdRemoveTask resource.

It is designed to simplify the management of Ceph clusters in Kubernetes installed by Rook.

Being solid Rook users, we had dozens of Rook CRs to manage. Thus, one day we decided to create a single resource that would aggregate all Rook CRs and deliver a smoother LCM experience. This is how Pelagia was born.

It supports almost all Rook CRs API, including CephCluster, CephBlockPool, CephFilesystem, CephObjectStore, and others, aggregating them into a single specification. We continuously work on improving Pelagia's API, adding new features, and enhancing existing ones.

Pelagia collects Ceph cluster state and all Rook CRs statuses into single CephDeploymentHealth CR. This resource highlights of Ceph cluster and Rook APIs issues, if any.

Another important thing we implemented in Pelagia is the automated lifecycle management of Rook Ceph OSD nodes for bare-metal clusters. This feature is delivered by the CephOsdRemoveTask resource, which automates the process of removing OSD disks and nodes from the cluster. We are using this feature in our everyday day-2 operations routine.
