Older container technologies like Docker have been prone to security vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2019-5736 and CVE-2022-0847, which allowed for potential host system compromise. Podman changes the game by eliminating the need for a persistent background service like the Docker daemon, enhancing sec..

AI isn’t just burning compute—it's torching old-school FinOps. Reserved Instances? Idle detection? Cute, but not built for GPU bottlenecks and model-heavy pipelines. What’s actually happening:Infra teams are ditching cost-first playbooks for something smarter—business-aligned orchestrationthat chas..

Kubernetes'Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA)tries to be helpful by tweaking CPU and memory requests on the fly. Problem is, it needs to bounce your pods to do it. And if you're also runningHorizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA)on the same metrics? Now they're fighting over control. VPA sees a narrow slice of ..

A new attack chain messes withKubernetes DNS resolutionandArgoCD’s certificate injectionto swipe GitHub credentials. With the right permissions, a user inside the cluster can reroute GitOps traffic to a fake internal service, sniff auth headers, and quietly walk off with tokens. What’s broken:GitOp..
