Subverting code integrity checks to locally backdoor Signal, 1Password, Slack, and more

A fresh CVE (2025-55305) just put Electron apps in the hot seat. The bug? Chromium-based apps fail to treatV8 heap snapshot filesas potential attack vectors. That crack lets unsigned JavaScript slip past code signing and run inside heavyweight targets like Slack, 1Password, and Signal. The heart of..

Paused Kubernetes project finds path forward

TheExternal Secrets Operator (ESO)is moving again. After hitting pause from maintainer burnout, it’s back under CNCF incubation—with a rebooted structure in place. New governance, clear contributor paths, and support tracks for CI, core dev, and testing are all in. But don’t expect fresh releases ju..

Rethinking Efficiency for Cloud-Native AI Workloads

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 VPA: Limitations, Best Practices, and the Future of Pod Rightsizing

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 ..

Amazon EKS Enables Ultra-Scale AI/ML Workloads with Support for 100K Nodes per Cluster

Amazon EKS just cranked its Kubernetes cluster limit to100,000 nodes—a 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 sweat—even un..

Kubernetes DNS Exploit Enables Git Credential Theft from ArgoCD

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..

Dynamic Kubernetes request right sizing with Kubecost

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

The Quiet Revolution in Kubernetes Security

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..

Kubernetes Primer: Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) for GPU Workloads

Kubernetes 1.34 brings serious heat for anyone juggling GPUs or accelerators. MeetDynamic Resource Allocation (DRA)—a 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..

Kubernetes Primer: Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) for GPU Workloads
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that allows developers to easily run Kubernetes on the AWS cloud or on-premises data centers. It provides built-in integrations with AWS services like EC2, VPC, IAM, and EBS, and enables efficient compute resource provisioning and automatic application scaling, reducing costs. With EKS, security patches are automatically applied to the cluster's control plane to ensure a secure Kubernetes environment. EKS can be run in the cloud, on AWS Outposts, or on-premises, providing a consistent, fully-supported Kubernetes solution with integrated tooling. EKS is useful for deploying applications across hybrid environments, modeling machine learning workflows, and building and running web applications that automatically scale and run in a highly available configuration. Customers can get started with EKS through an online workshop, connect with an expert for support, or learn about other companies using EKS.
