Using local LLMs for agentic coding

Alex Ewerlöf walks through running open-weight models likeGemma 4locally for agentic coding via LM Studio, wiring them into Copilot and Pi as custom endpoints, with the practical traps around context length, KV-cache quantization, and cold-start prompt processing... read more

Breaking free of a single datacenter: Practical geo-distributed AI operations with the k0smos platforms

This post discusses the challenges of leveraging distributed resources for AI workloads and the role of Kubernetes in addressing these challenges. The k0smos stack is highlighted as a solution for operating geo-distributed AI infrastructure, divided into three technical layers: k0s, k0smotron, and k.. read more

Kubernetes' Default CoreDNS Configuration is insecure

CoreDNS pods insecure option is the default in Kubernetes as it allows for the creation of arbitrary DNS A records. Combined with wildcard SSL certs, it poses a security risk, highlighted by Cilium's handling of network policies in the face of DNS manipulation. Time to shift to a more secure DNS con.. read more

Eliminating Kubernetes Image Signature Replication

The Kubernetes image promoter no longer replicates container image signatures across regions. The rewrite drops that replication entirely, cuts latency, and simplifies the codebase, while keeping signature verification working seamlessly for end users. Next, the project is moving to OCI 1.1 referrer.. read more  

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.
