Kubernetes 1.34 droppedDynamic Resource Allocation (DRA)- think persistent volumes, but for GPUs and custom hardware. Vendors can now plug in drivers and schedulers for their devices, and workloads can pick exactly what they need. Coming in 1.35: a newworkload abstractionthat speaks the language of .. read more  

AWS released a full-stack CI/CD validation pipeline forAmazon EKS. It pulls in six layers of testing,Terraform,Helm,Locustload testing, and evenAWS Fault Injectionfor pushing resilience to the edge. The goal: bake policy checks, functional tests, and brutal load tests right into pre-deployment. Fewe.. read more  

Dapr droppedDurable Agents- a mashup of classic workflows and LLM-driven agents that can actually get things done and survive rough edges. They track reasoning steps, tool calls, and chat states like a champ. If things crash, no problem: Dapr Workflows and Diagrid Catalyst bring it all back... read more

Kubernetes 1.35 makes a quiet-but-crucial upgrade: z-pages debugging endpoints now returnstructured, machine-readable JSON. That means tools- not just tired humans - can parse control plane state directly. The responses areversioned, backward-compatible, and tucked behind feature flags for now... read more  

Data engineering’s getting flipped.AI agentsandLLMsaren’t just tagging along anymore - they’re the main users now. That means engineers need to buildcontext-aware, machine-readable data systemsthat don’t just store info but actually make sense of it. Think:vector databases,knowledge graphs,semantic .. read more  

Slack broke down how it's threading AI into its product without torching user trust.Slack AIleans hard ontenant-specific data isolationandzero data retention- no leftover crumbs from LLM interactions. Instead of piping user data through someone else’s APIs, Slack runs LLMs onits own infrawhere it ca.. read more  

2025 was the year LLMs stopped just answering questions and started building things.Reasoning modelslike OpenAI’s o-series and Claude Code took over tool-driven workflows. Asynchronous coding agentsbroke out. These models didn’t just write code - they ran it, debugged it, then did it again. That loo.. read more
