How Kubernetes Became the New Linux

AWS just handed overKarpenterandKubernetes Resource Orchestrator (Kro)to Kubernetes SIGs. Big move. It's less about AWS-first, more about playing nice across the ecosystem. Kroauto-spins CRDs and microcontrollers for resource orchestration.Karpenterhandles just-in-time node provisioning - leaner, fa.. read more

How I Cut Kubernetes Debugging Time by 80% With One Bash Script

The reality of Kubernetes troubleshooting: 80% of the time is spent locating the issue, while only 20% is used for the fix. Managing eight Kubernetes clusters highlighted this pattern. A tool was developed to provide a complete cluster health report in under a minute, streamlining the process and sa.. read more

The guide to kubectl I never had.

Glasskube dropped a thorough guide tokubectl- the commands, the flags (--dry-run, etc.), how to chain stuff together, and how to keep your config sane. Bonus: a solid roundup ofkubectl plugins. Think observability (like K9s), policy checks, audit trails, and Glasskube’s take on declarative package m.. read more

Top 5 hard-earned lessons from the experts on managing Kubernetes

Running Kubernetes in production isn’t just clicking “Create Cluster.” It means locking down RBAC, tightening up network policy, tracking autoscaling metrics, and making sure your images don’t ship with surprises. Managed clusters help get you started. But real workloads need more: hardened configs,.. read more

20x Faster TRL Fine-tuning with RapidFire AI

RapidFire AI just dropped a scheduling engine built for chaos - and control. It shards datasets on the fly, reallocates as needed, and runs multipleTRL fine-tuning configs at once, even on a single GPU. No magic, just clever orchestration. It plugs into TRL withdrop-in wrappers, spreads training acr.. read more

Code execution with MCP: building more efficient AI agents

Code is taking over MCP workflows - and fast. With theModel Context Protocol, agents don’t just call tools. They load them on demand. Filter data. Track state like any decent program would. That shift slashes context bloat - up to 98% fewer tokens. It also trims latency and scales cleaner across tho.. read more

Hacking Gemini: A Multi-Layered Approach

A researcher found a multi-layer sanitization gap inGoogle Gemini. It let attackers pull off indirect prompt injections to leak Workspace data - think Gmail, Drive, Calendar - using Markdown image renders across Gemini andColab export chains. The trick? Sneaking through cracks between HTML and Markd.. read more

AWS Lambda just bumpedRusttoGeneral Availability- production-ready, SLA covered, and finally with full AWS Support. Deploy withCargo Lambda. Wire it into your stack usingAWS CDK, which now has a dedicated construct to spin up HTTP APIs with minimal fuss. System-level shift:Serverless isn't just for .. read more  

Building serverless applications with Rust on AWS Lambda
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.
