Key Insights from the 2025 GigaOm Radar for Container Networking

Jan 8, 2026 By John Alexander In Tigera
In 2025, as modern applications became ever more distributed and the use of Kubernetes continued to proliferate, the role of container networking was critical. Today’s enterprises demand networking solutions that can scale, secure, and connect services reliably, whether those services run across multiple clouds, hybrid environments, or on-premises clusters.

How companies are using Civo GPUs to accelerate AI innovation without runaway costs

Jan 7, 2026 By Emma Stewart-Oram In Civo
Accessing high-performance GPUs shouldn’t feel like a bottleneck. Yet, as AI adoption accelerates, many teams are discovering that hyperscaler offerings often come with a hidden price: long wait times, opaque billing, and layers of unnecessary complexity. At Civo, we’ve seen a different way. Our GPUs enable companies to move faster while keeping infrastructure overhead and costs firmly under control.

How to achieve cloud agility without compromising control or cost

Jan 6, 2026 By Russell Smith In Civo
As organizations increasingly embrace digital transformation, cloud agility has become a critical priority. Yet, the promise of cloud-native speed and flexibility often comes with trade-offs: loss of control, unpredictable costs, and operational complexity. Many companies find themselves stuck between the desire for agility and the reality of legacy infrastructure or regulatory constraints. At Civo, we don't think you have to choose. We’ve spent years helping teams navigate this tension.

How Kubernetes Node Affinity Works (And Why It Matters for K8s Cost Control)

Jan 6, 2026 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
Think about how airlines assign seats on a plane. Some have extra legroom. Some sit near exits. Some are cheaper, while others cost a premium. Certain passengers also have strict requirements, like families traveling together or travelers who paid for a specific class. Now imagine boarding everyone randomly. A passenger who paid for extra legroom (perhaps for health reasons) ends up squeezed into a middle seat. Families scatter across the cabin. Premium seats sit half empty while the back rows overflow.

From Promise to Practice: What Real AI SRE Can Actually Do When Production Breaks

Jan 4, 2026 By Itiel Shwartz In Komodor
We’ve written before about the advantages of training an AI SRE on real telemetry data rather than generic Kubernetes documentation. We’ve explained why RAG augmentation based on actual high-scale workload patterns produces better results than LLMs trained on generic scenarios or forum threads. The theory makes sense, the architecture is sound, and the approach is defensible.
