Calling outfive sneaky AWS cost traps—the kind that creep in through overlooked defaults and quiet misconfigs, then blow up your bill while no one's watching...

Rich Hickey’s classic “Simple Made Easy” talk is making the rounds again—as a mirror held up to dev culture under pressure. The punchline: we keep picking solutions that areeasy but tangled, instead ofsimple and sane. The essay draws a sharp line between that habit and a concept from biology: exapt..

A fresh CVE (2025-55305) just put Electron apps in the hot seat. The bug? Chromium-based apps fail to treatV8 heap snapshot filesas potential attack vectors. That crack lets unsigned JavaScript slip past code signing and run inside heavyweight targets like Slack, 1Password, and Signal. The heart of..

Lucidity has upgraded itsAutoScaler. It now handles persistent volumes on AWS-hosted Kubernetes, automatically scaling storage and reducing waste. The upgrade bringspod-level isolation,fault tolerance, andbulk Linux onboarding. Azure and GCP are next on the list...

Nigel Douglas discusses the challenges of security in Kubernetes, particularly with traditional base operating systems. Talos Linux offers a different approach with a secure-by-default, API-driven model specifically for Kubernetes. CISOs play a critical role in guiding organizations through the shif..

Kubernetes 1.34 brings serious heat for anyone juggling GPUs or accelerators. MeetDynamic Resource Allocation (DRA)—a new way to schedule hardware like you mean it. DRA addsResourceClaims,DeviceClasses, andResourceSlices, slicing device management away from pod specs. It replaces the old device plu..

Older container technologies like Docker have been prone to security vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2019-5736 and CVE-2022-0847, which allowed for potential host system compromise. Podman changes the game by eliminating the need for a persistent background service like the Docker daemon, enhancing sec..

Amazon EKS just cranked its Kubernetes cluster limit to100,000 nodes—a 10x jump. The secret sauce? A reworkedetcdwith an internaljournalsystem andin-memorystorage. Toss in tightAPI server tuningand network tweaks, and the result is wild: 500 pods per second, 900K pods, 10M+ objects, no sweat—even un..

Kubecost’s Amazon EKS add-on now handlesautomated container request right-sizing. That means teams can tweak CPU and memory requests based on actual usage—once or on a recurring schedule. Optimization profiles are customizable, and resizing can be baked into cluster setup using Helm. Yes, that mean..

AI isn’t just burning compute—it's torching old-school FinOps. Reserved Instances? Idle detection? Cute, but not built for GPU bottlenecks and model-heavy pipelines. What’s actually happening:Infra teams are ditching cost-first playbooks for something smarter—business-aligned orchestrationthat chas..
