Seven Years of Firecracker

AWS is puttingFirecracker microVMsto work in two fresh stacks:AgentCore, the new base layer for AI agents, andAurora DSQL, a serverless, PostgreSQL-compatible database it just rolled out. AgentCore gives each agent session its own microVM. More isolation, less cross-talk - solid for multistep LLM wo.. read more

Automated GitHub Self-Hosted Runner Cleanup: Lambda Functions and Auto Scaling Lifecycle Hooks

When an EC2 instance in an Auto Scaling Group shuts down, event-driven plumbing kicks in. Alifecycle hookcatches the scale-in, fires off an SNS notification, and triggers aLambda. That Lambda calls the GitHub API to yank the self-hosted runner before the instance dies. No dangling runners. No manual.. read more

How LogSeam Searches 500 Million Logs per second

LogSeam rips through500M log searches/secand pushes1.5+ TB/s throughputusing Tigris’ geo-distributed object storage. It slashes log volume by 100× with Parquet + Zstandard compression. Then it spins up compute on the fly, right where the data lives—no long-running infrastructure, no laggy reads... read more

Kubernetes for agentic apps: A platform engineering perspective

Agentic AI flips the old model. Instead of stateless, event-by-event workloads, we getstateful, self-steering systemsthat observe, reason, plan, and act - on loop. Kubernetes steps up as the OS for this next phase. Boosted by platform engineering, it brings the right mix:ephemeral compute, persisten.. read more

Internal HTTPS Routing in Istio.

Istio finally bringsinternal HTTPS routingwithSNI-based traffic rules. Services in the mesh can now talk over port 443—TLS fully intact. Just like in prod. TLS terminates at the ingress gateway. Routing pivots on SNI, not headers. Which makes this much closer to real-world mTLS flows. What’s the pla.. read more

How I Built My Kubernetes Command Toolkit: A Journey from kubectl Chaos to Command Mastery

A dev-built Kubernetes CLI framework reshapeskubectlfor how teams actually work. Commands get grouped by role - dev, SRE, sec, admin - instead of by resource. It bakes in defaults forKyvernopolicies, encourages muscle-memory workflows, and wires up real-time troubleshooting to shrink downtime in pro.. read more

The Myths (and Costs) of Running Node.js on Kubernetes

Kubernetes struggles to scale Node.js efficiently due to a mismatch in resource usage patterns. Autoscaling can be sluggish with bursty traffic, leading to revenue risks and performance issues. Teams must rethink resource allocation and scaling strategies to optimize Node.js efficiency in Kubernetes.. read more

Most Cloud-Native Roles are Software Engineers

Software Engineers still own the cloud-native job boards in 2025 - nearly47%of all Kubernetes-tagged listings. DevOps holds onto second. But Platform Engineers just leapfrogged SREs, which have slid 30% since 2023... read more

Who’s Calling That API? A Detective Story from the Depths of EKS Networking

A production network got hammered by too many Auth0 token requests. The source? EKS workloads tucked behind a shared NAT Gateway. No easy trail. Engineers stitched it together usingVPC Flow Logs,pod-to-node maps, and some sharpIstio ServiceEntry logs. Even with Kubernetes CNI doing its NAT-obscuring.. read more

How to contribute to our vision

For our DevOps team within the Software Solutions division we are looking for a skilled DevOps Engineer to join our growing, and dedicated DevOps team. In the department, we are responsible for the SW test strategy, the enforcement of it, and the creation and maintenance of build- and test environments in which automated tests are executed. This involves both HIL setups and small to large virtual environments, thus handling both the hard real-time and large scalability requirements. We operate 2 data centers and 2 test labs.

The introduction of Continuous Delivery is a strategic goal of the department; our team has been given the responsibility of introducing it. You will join an inspiring and high performing multinational team.

As DevOps Engineer, your tasks and deliverables are mainly lead the development teams’ transformation to Continuous Delivery, i.e. implement their Chef based server stack, create the QA part of the Jenkins pipeline. The product and system level tests are run in either a VM environment or the physical HW. You will manage and optimize the utilization of these environments while reducing bottlenecks in the delivery pipelines.

Together with the rest of the DevOps team you develop state of the art SW tools and make the decision proposals. You implement these tools in the development projects for them to move faster. As member of the DevOps team you carry the operational responsibility of these tools.

You act as the technical expert across multiple development projects helping them in keeping their delivery pipeline running. The projects range from deeply embedded controllers over large SCADA server systems to central fleet management systems. Together with the rest of the DevOps team you ensure the operational side of our large HW and VMware test environment.

You will implement parts of our cybersecurity strategy by implementing relevant verifications in the pipelines and ensure a short lead time.
