The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
Kubernetes Namespaces: What They Are, How They Work, And What They Don't Solve
Using Kubernetes to manage containerized applications has its fair share of challenges. One of those challenges is managing complexity. Using namespaces can help minimize that complexity. Yet, a common misconception is that using multiple namespaces in a single Kubernetes cluster can degrade performance. Another issue: Kubernetes namespaces can reduce visibility into costs. There’s more to it than that.
When Kubernetes Becomes the Bottleneck, and How to Fix It
Struggling with Kubernetes configuration sprawl and long deployment queues? Discover how to identify technical vs. workflow bottlenecks and why shifting to a self-service Kubernetes management platform like Qovery is the key to scaling your engineering velocity.
Is Your File Integrity Monitoring Outdated? Kubernetes Needs Runtime FIM
If your file integrity monitoring (FIM) still relies on scheduled scans… it was built for static servers — not Kubernetes. In cloud-native environments, traditional FIM creates detection delays, wasted CPU, excessive I/O, and alert noise. And if a malicious process modifies a file and exits before the next scan? You might miss it entirely. In this video, we break down: Modern runtime FIM works differently. Instead of scanning everything on a schedule, it.
Rancher Live: Konveyor's Cloud Native Modernisation Blueprint
Join Divya Mohan as she hosts Savitha Raghunathan, Konveyor maintainer & Red Hat Senior Software Engineer to learn more about the CNCF Sandbox project, Konveyor. Dive into some of the open source strategies for legacy app migration to Kubernetes using the 6 Rs: Rehost, Replatform, Refactor & learn blueprint tools for analysis, containerization & AI-powered refactoring.
How to write annotations in Kubernetes with JSON for Datadog Autodiscovery | Datadog Tips & Tricks
Pod annotations in Kubernetes with invalid JSON syntax can prevent Datadog Autodiscovery from detecting integrations, resulting in missing metrics and gaps in monitoring. Watch this video for a step-by-step process to write annotations: Note: This video focuses on Datadog Autodiscovery v2 syntax.
Don't Panic: A Low-Risk Strategy for Ingress NGINX Retirement
The Ingress NGINX project is winding down. For many organizations, this means planning a migration for critical infrastructure. While the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller is the natural successor for these workloads, a "rip and replace" strategy isn’t always viable. You might have complex configurations, customized annotations, or deployment freezes that make a sudden switch risky. There's a lower-risk path: Place HAProxy in front of your existing Ingress NGINX deployment.
Migrating from NGINX Ingress to Envoy Gateway (Gateway API): behind the scenes
Following the end of maintenance of the Ingress NGINX project, we have been working behind the scenes to migrate our customers’ clusters from Kubernetes Ingress + NGINX Ingress Controller to Gateway API + Envoy Gateway.
Build and test your first Kubernetes operator with Go, Kubebuilder, and CircleCI
Kubernetes operators extend the Kubernetes API with custom logic, automating tasks like provisioning, configuration, and policy enforcement. Instead of managing these tasks manually or with ad hoc scripts, Operators codify your workflows into controllers that run natively inside the cluster. In this tutorial, you’ll build a simple operator using Go and Kubebuilder; a framework that scaffolds much of the boilerplate so you can focus on core logic.
NVIDIA Rubin (R100) vs. NVIDIA Blackwell (B200) GPU
Since 1999, when NVIDIA invented the GPU (graphics processing unit), the demand has “skyrocketed”. At CES 2026, CEO Jensen Huang announced their latest GPU, named after Vera Rubin. This follows on from the announcement of their Blackwell lineup only two years ago. Through this blog, we’ll explore what the industry knows about the Vera Rubin so far. Plus, we will take a look at some specs in comparison to the NVIDIA B200 from the Blackwell lineup.
