Amazon EKS just cranked its Kubernetes cluster limit to100,000 nodesâa 10x jump. The secret sauce? A reworkedetcdwith an internaljournalsystem andin-memorystorage. Toss in tightAPI server tuningand network tweaks, and the result is wild: 500 pods per second, 900K pods, 10M+ objects, no sweatâeven un..

Nigel Douglas discusses the challenges of security in Kubernetes, particularly with traditional base operating systems. Talos Linux offers a different approach with a secure-by-default, API-driven model specifically for Kubernetes. CISOs play a critical role in guiding organizations through the shif..
Lucidity has upgraded itsAutoScaler. It now handles persistent volumes on AWS-hosted Kubernetes, automatically scaling storage and reducing waste. The upgrade bringspod-level isolation,fault tolerance, andbulk Linux onboarding. Azure and GCP are next on the list...

Kubecostâs Amazon EKS add-on now handlesautomated container request right-sizing. That means teams can tweak CPU and memory requests based on actual usageâonce or on a recurring schedule. Optimization profiles are customizable, and resizing can be baked into cluster setup using Helm. Yes, that mean..

Kubernetes 1.34 brings serious heat for anyone juggling GPUs or accelerators. MeetDynamic Resource Allocation (DRA)âa new way to schedule hardware like you mean it. DRA addsResourceClaims,DeviceClasses, andResourceSlices, slicing device management away from pod specs. It replaces the old device plu..

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..
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 resolutionandArgoCDâs 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. Whatâs broken:GitOp..

AI isnât just burning computeâit's torching old-school FinOps. Reserved Instances? Idle detection? Cute, but not built for GPU bottlenecks and model-heavy pipelines. Whatâs actually happening:Infra teams are ditching cost-first playbooks for something smarterâbusiness-aligned orchestrationthat chas..
