How GitHub uses eBPF to improve deployment safety

GitHub hosts its own source code on github.com, creating a circular dependency. To mitigate this, GitHub maintains mirrors of its code and built assets. By using eBPF, GitHub can selectively monitor and block calls that create circular dependencies in their deployment system... read more

K3s on On-Prem Infrastructures the GitOps Way: Writing a Custom k0rdent Template from Scratch

Kubernetes, now 12 years old, has evolved into the universal operating system for modern infrastructure, running on various platforms like Proxmox. Using k0rdent, Proxmox, and K3s, users can provision and manage Kubernetes clusters on-premise in a declarative, repeatable, and clean manner. This appr.. read more

I Measured Claude 4.7's New Tokenizer. Here's What It Costs You.

Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 migration guide states the new tokenizer utilizes "roughly 1.0 to 1.35x as many tokens" compared to 4.6. Actual measurements show a higher ratio on technical docs and real CLAUDE.md files. The cost of the new tokenizer was measured using real content and synthetic samples.. read more

Kata Containers is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project designed to close the security gap between traditional Linux containers and virtual machines. Instead of sharing a single host kernel like standard containers, Kata Containers launches each pod or container inside its own lightweight virtual machine using hardware virtualization.

This approach dramatically reduces the attack surface and prevents container escape vulnerabilities, making Kata ideal for multi-tenant, untrusted, or sensitive workloads. Despite using VMs under the hood, Kata is optimized for fast startup times and integrates seamlessly with Kubernetes through the Container Runtime Interface (CRI), allowing it to be used alongside runtimes like containerd and CRI-O.

Kata Containers is commonly used in scenarios such as multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters, confidential computing, sandboxed AI workloads, serverless platforms, and agent execution environments where strong isolation is mandatory. It supports multiple hypervisors, including QEMU, Firecracker, and Cloud Hypervisor, and continues to evolve toward faster boot times, lower memory overhead, and better hardware acceleration support.
