Securing Kubernetes 1.33 Pods: The Impact of User Namespace Isolation

Kubernetes 1.33rolls out with a security upgrade. It flips the switch onuser namespacesby default, shoving pods into the safety zone as unprivileged users. Potential breaches? Curbed. But don't get too comfy—idmap-capable file systems and up-to-date runtimes are now your new best friends if you want.. read more

Kubernetes Scaling Strategies

Horizontal Pod Autoscaler(HPA) cranks up pods based on CPU, memory, or custom quirks. A dream for stateless adventures, but you'll need a metrics server.Vertical Pod Autoscaler(VPA) fine-tunes CPU and memory for pods. Works like a charm for jobs where scaling out is sketchy, though it demands restar.. read more

🔐 Zero-Trust Micro-Segmentation in Industrial Environments

In today's connected industrial world, the convergence of IT & OT brings efficiency—but also new risks. That’s why Zero-Trust Micro-Segmentation is no longer optional. 📌 It divides your network into isolated zones, applies strict access rules, and assumes no user or device is inherently trusted. ✅ K..

Industrial Zero-Trust Micro-Segmentation
ForgeMT is an open-source, production-grade platform designed to solve the complexity of running GitHub Actions runners at scale. Instead of teams managing their own fragile and duplicated CI runner setups, ForgeMT centralizes orchestration into a single, multi-tenant system built for scalability, security, and cost efficiency.

The platform provisions ephemeral runners on both EC2 and Kubernetes (EKS) using Terraform and Terragrunt, ensuring workloads scale up instantly and tear down to zero when idle, reducing costs. It enforces strong tenant isolation with AWS IAM, OIDC integration, and network segmentation, giving each team a secure boundary without requiring separate infrastructure.

ForgeMT integrates seamlessly with GitHub via a GitHub App and webhook events, automatically spinning up the right type of runner when jobs start. It supports advanced autoscaling strategies with Karpenter, spot instance optimization, and observability through centralized logging and monitoring.

By removing operational overhead, ForgeMT helps organizations accelerate delivery, cut cloud costs, and meet security requirements — all while giving developers fast, ephemeral CI runners that just work.
