Enhanced Icinga 2 Container Images

As some of you might have already noticed, we recently gave our official Icinga 2 container image builds a complete overhaul. These new images are currently available only as snapshot builds but will replace the existing stable images with the next Icinga 2 v2.16.0 release. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the key changes and improvements that come with the new images, as well as the reasons behind these changes.

#050 - Data Protection and Kubernetes Resilience with Michael Cade & Julia Furst Morgado (Veeam)

In this episode Itiel hosts Veeam experts Julia and Michael, to share their distinct paths into cloud-native technology. Julia discusses her transition from a background in law and marketing to becoming a CNCF ambassador and AWS container hero. Michael, a veteran who has been with Veeam for over 10 years, details his traditional CIS admin background (virtualization, storage) and the evolution of this role into platform engineering.

Private Cloud: The Future of Cloud Sovereignty

For a long time, public cloud has been the default answer to scaling infrastructure, but it's not the only path forward. As more teams weigh the risks of vendor lock-in, data residency, and dependence on US-based providers, the conversation around private cloud has taken on new urgency. However, building on private infrastructure doesn't have to mean sacrificing flexibility.

[WEBINAR] From Blueprint to Production: A Live Workshop for Creating an MCP Server for Kubernetes

In this hands-on workshop, we covered how to build your own MCP server from scratch and connect it to AI tools like Cursor IDE or Claude Desktop. The first half is a live coding session you can follow along with to set up an MCP server for Kubernetes troubleshooting. In the second half, we take you behind the scenes at Komodor to show how we built our MCP Server MVP: a powerful bridge between AI assistants and Kubernetes infrastructure. This is just part of the 'magic' that helps the Klaudia agentic AI technology power Komodor's AI SRE Platform.

How to Connect Nested KubeVirt Clusters with Calico and BGP Peering

Running Kubernetes inside Kubernetes isn’t just a fun experiment anymore – it’s becoming a key pattern for delivering multi-environment platforms at scale. With KubeVirt, a virtualization add-on for Kubernetes that uses QEMU (an open-source machine emulator and virtualizer), you can run full-featured Kubernetes clusters as virtual machines (VMs) inside a parent Kubernetes cluster.

New Dashboards and Reports for Kubernetes Monitoring

This is just a quick blog to draw attention to some new and enhanced monitoring dashboards and reports we have added to eG Enterprise in our latest release (v7.5) to provide quick and powerful overviews when monitoring a range of Kubernetes technologies. As with all our dashboards, color-coded overlays provide guided drilldown for help desk operators and administrators.

FluxCD vs. ArgoCD: Why Qovery is the Better Way to Do GitOps

Dive into the ultimate FluxCD vs. ArgoCD debate! Learn the differences between these top GitOps tools (CLI vs. UI, toolkit vs. platform) and discover a third path: Qovery, the DevOps automation platform that abstracts away Kubernetes complexity, handles infrastructure, and lets you ship code faster.

Fargate Simplicity vs. Kubernetes Power: Where Does Your Scaling Company Land?

Is Fargate too simple or Kubernetes too complex for your scale-up? Compare AWS Fargate vs. EKS on cost, control, and complexity. Then, see how Qovery automates Kubernetes, giving you its power without the operational headache or steep learning curve.
