Introducing Kubernetes for Snowflake

Snowflake just leveled up its workload scheduler—now driven by LLMs and reinforcement learning. Instead of locking jobs to static warehouses, it predicts where to send them in real-time. Smarter routing, tighter hardware use, over40%shaved off compute bills. Bigger picture:Another nod toward ML-bas..

How We Saved $1.22 Million Annually on GCP Costs in a Few Simple Steps

Arpeely chopped$140K/monthoff their cloud bill using a surgical mix of GCP tricks. Committed Use Discounts (CUDs) for high-availability services? Check. Smarter Kubernetes HPA configs? Definitely. Archiving old BigQuery data into GCS Archive? That one alone slashed storage costs 16x. The real kicker..

Kubernetes Will Solve YAML Headaches with KYAML

Kubernetes is eyeing a YAML remix. Version 1.34 may bring inKYAML—a stricter, YAML-compatible subset built to cut down on sloppy configs and sneaky formatting bugs. KYAML keeps the good parts: comments, trailing commas, unquoted keys. But it dumps YAML’s whitespace drama. Existing manifests and Hel..

Kubernetes Observability: Pillars, Tools & Best Practices

Kubernetes observability isn’t just about catching metrics or tailing logs. It’s about stitching togethermetrics, logs, and tracesto see what’s actually happening—across services, over time, and through the chaos. Thing is, Kubernetes doesn’t come with this built in. So teams hack together toolchai..

At the transport layer (OSI Layer 4), this type of load balancer distributes traffic based on IP addresses and port numbers, ensuring efficient and fast packet ..

Pelagia is a Kubernetes controller that provides all-in-one management for Ceph clusters installed by Rook. It delivers two main features:

Aggregates all Rook Custom Resources (CRs) into a single CephDeployment resource, simplifying the management of Ceph clusters.
Provides automated lifecycle management (LCM) of Rook Ceph OSD nodes for bare-metal clusters. Automated LCM is managed by the special CephOsdRemoveTask resource.

It is designed to simplify the management of Ceph clusters in Kubernetes installed by Rook.

Being solid Rook users, we had dozens of Rook CRs to manage. Thus, one day we decided to create a single resource that would aggregate all Rook CRs and deliver a smoother LCM experience. This is how Pelagia was born.

It supports almost all Rook CRs API, including CephCluster, CephBlockPool, CephFilesystem, CephObjectStore, and others, aggregating them into a single specification. We continuously work on improving Pelagia's API, adding new features, and enhancing existing ones.

Pelagia collects Ceph cluster state and all Rook CRs statuses into single CephDeploymentHealth CR. This resource highlights of Ceph cluster and Rook APIs issues, if any.

Another important thing we implemented in Pelagia is the automated lifecycle management of Rook Ceph OSD nodes for bare-metal clusters. This feature is delivered by the CephOsdRemoveTask resource, which automates the process of removing OSD disks and nodes from the cluster. We are using this feature in our everyday day-2 operations routine.
