The Ansibleservicemodulehandles LinuxandWindows without choking on init system quirks. One playbook can start, stop, enable, or restart anything - no matter the OS. Idempotent, so you don’t have to babysit state. Clean and repeatable. Bonus: it’s great for wrangling fleets. Think: coordinating servi.. read more  

AWS S3 doesn’t need fancy hardware. It wrings performance out ofcheap HDDs,log-structured merge trees, anderasure coding. The trick? Shard everything. Hit it in parallel. Randomized placementdodges hotspots.Hedged requestsrace the slowest links. And when things get lopsided, S3 rebalances - constant.. read more  

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  

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  

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  

The newHeadlamp Karpenter Pluginwires real-time autoscaling insight straight into the Headlamp UI. It showsKarpenterresources, live metrics, scaling moves—no kubectl spelunking required. NodePoolsandNodeClaimsget mapped to core Kubernetes objects. You can tweak configs in the UI, get validation on t.. read more  

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  

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  

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  

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
