Remember the AWS US-EAST-1 outage?

On October 20, 2025, AWS suffered a major outage in its most critical region (N. Virginia), causing global service disruptions for nearly 24 hours and impacting 140+ services. - No cyberattack involved. - The root cause was a DNS resolution failure in DynamoDB, triggering cascading issues across EC2..

Discord Alternatives, Ranked

A veteran Discord admin did a deep dive into chat platform alternatives - Signal, Matrix, Zulip, Rocket.Chat, Discourse - stacked against five key pillars: functionality, openness, security, safety, and decentralization. Discord didn't come out looking great. Centralized. No end-to-end encryption. S.. read more

What Is an Async Agent, Really?

An async agent is not inherently async, it depends on whether you wait for it to finish or not. Async agents can manage their own event loop of other agents, spawning and coordinating them to handle tasks, just like an async runtime in programming. This architectural distinction allows for concurren.. read more

I struggled to code with AI until I learned this workflow

AI coding assistants work best when given clear context, a specific plan, and implemented in small, reviewable steps. Start with context, then a plan, and iterate through implementation and testing to avoid AI freelancing pitfalls... read more

Company as Code

Organisations rely heavily on digital systems, yet manage important organisational data using outdated manual methods despite advanced automation capabilities in other areas. A novel "Company as Code" concept proposes a programmatic representation of the entire organisation, enabling structured, ver.. read more

Introducing Node Readiness Controller

Kubernetes just dropped theNode Readiness Controller- a smarter way to track node health. It slaps taints on nodes based on custom signals, not just the plain old "Ready" status. The goal? Safer pod scheduling that actually reflects what’s going on under the hood. It's powered by theNodeReadinessRul.. read more

How GKE Inference Gateway improved latency for Vertex AI

Vertex AI now plays nice withGKE Inference Gateway, hooking into the Kubernetes Gateway API to manage serious generative AI workloads. What’s new:load-awareandcontent-aware routing. It pulls from Prometheus metrics and leverages KV cache context to keep latency low and throughput high - exactly what.. read more

CVE-2026-22039: Kyverno Authorization Bypass

Kyverno - a CNCF policy engine for Kubernetes - just dropped a critical one:CVE-2026-22039. It lets limited-access users jump namespaces by hijacking Kyverno'scluster-wide ServiceAccountthrough crafty use of policy context variable substitution. Think privilege escalation without breaking a sweat. I.. read more

How Kubernetes Learned to Resize Pods Without Restarting Them

Kubernetes v1.35 introduces in-place Pod resizing, allowing dynamic adjustments to CPU and memory limits without restarting containers. This feature addresses the operational gap of vertical scaling in Kubernetes by maintaining the same Pod UID and workload identity during resizing. With this breakt.. read more  

How Kubernetes Learned to Resize Pods Without Restarting Them
k3d is an open-source utility designed to simplify running Kubernetes locally by wrapping K3s (Rancher’s lightweight Kubernetes distribution) inside Docker containers. Instead of creating virtual machines, k3d uses Docker as the execution layer, allowing developers to spin up multi-node Kubernetes clusters in seconds using minimal system resources.

k3d is especially popular for local development, CI pipelines, demos, and testing Kubernetes-native applications. It supports advanced setups such as multi-node clusters, load balancers, custom container registries, port mappings, and volume mounts, while remaining easy to tear down and recreate.

Because it uses K3s, k3d inherits a simplified control plane, bundled components, and reduced memory footprint compared to full Kubernetes distributions. This makes it ideal for developers who want a realistic Kubernetes environment without the overhead of tools like Minikube or full VM-based clusters.

k3d integrates cleanly with common Kubernetes workflows and tools such as kubectl, Helm, Skaffold, and Argo CD. It is frequently used to validate manifests, test Helm charts, and simulate production-like environments locally before deploying to cloud or on-prem clusters.
