Scaling Kubernetes GitOps with Fleet: Experiment Results and Lessons Learnt

Dec 18, 2025 By Mario Manno In Rancher
Fleet, Rancher’s built-in GitOps engine, is designed to scale up to thousands of clusters. However, “how far” can it scale in a real world scenario, you might ask? Earlier this year, we wrote about the Fleet benchmark tool and we made a few discoveries that were very instructive, especially concerning resource consumption and its impact on deployments’ performances.

Building Trust in AI-Powered Kubernetes Ops: Why "Good Enough" Is a Production Killer

Dec 17, 2025 By Itiel Shwartz In Komodor
The air in the operations world is thick with AI and LLMs. EVERY vendor is rushing to slap an “AI-powered” badge on their product. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: In high-stakes Kubernetes operations, one bad AI recommendation can destroy months of trust-building in an instant. We aren’t building a chatbot to suggest recipes. We are building systems that, armed with kubectl permissions, have the potential to take down production with a single, wrong command.

From control plane access to runtime drift, Kubernetes introduces layers of complexity that can obscure visibility if not properly monitored. For security leaders, Kubernetes is both an opportunity and a risk. While it enables agility, it also decentralizes security responsibility across teams, tools, and cloud layers.

Ingress NGINX Controller Is Dead - Should You Move to Gateway API?

Dec 16, 2025 By Veronika Smolik In Tigera
Ingress NGINX Controller, the trusty staple of countless platform engineering toolkits, is about to be put out to pasture. This news was announced by the Kubernetes community recently, and very quickly circulated throughout the cloud-native space. It’s big news for any platform team that currently uses the NGINX Controller because, as of March 26, 2026, there will be no more bug fixes, no more critical vulnerability patches and no more enhancements when Kubernetes continues to release new versions.
