Kubernetes CPU Limit: How to Set and Optimize Usage

Kubernetes makes it easy to scale applications. But when it comes to CPU resource management, a poorly tuned cluster can quickly become unstable or inefficient. For network engineers, setting CPU requests and limits correctly—and understanding the deeper implications—is essential for keeping workloads efficient, costs predictable, and noisy neighbors in check.

Kubernetes sidecar deployment using CircleCI

Kubernetes excels at managing complex, containerized systems, and one of its most impactful patterns is the sidecar. Sidecar containers extend applications by running supplementary processes in tandem. This modular architecture enables enhanced observability, networking, or security layers — all without changing the core application code. Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) practices are key to reliably shipping these configurations.

Serverless vs. Containers: A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing the Right Solution

In the rapidly evolving world of cloud computing, network engineers often need to decide between serverless computing and containerization. Both technologies offer unique advantages and are suited to different types of applications. This article aims to provide a comprehensive comparison of serverless computing and containers, helping network engineers make an informed decision based on their specific needs.

Is AI the Future of Software Development, or Just a new Abstraction? Insights from Kelsey Hightower

Join Kelsey Hightower as he shares his thoughts on the current state of AI and its potential impact on software development. In this discussion with Mark Boost and Dinesh Majrekar, Kelsey explores the possibilities and limitations of AI, and how it may change the way we build and interact with software. From the importance of pragmatism to the role of abstraction, Kelsey offers valuable insights for developers, engineers, and anyone interested in the future of technology.

A Simple Guide To GKE Cost Allocation And Cluster Spend

Running workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) delivers impressive scalability and flexibility. Yet, it can also introduce a tricky challenge: tracking GKE costs accurately. Remember, GKE costs rarely scale linearly. Overprovisioned nodes, idle autoscalers, and orphaned workloads can quietly balloon your bill in the background. And while GKE’s native tools offer some visibility, they often miss the full picture.

Infrastructure Management: When to Pick Bare Metal or Virtualized Servers

Infrastructure management isn't about taking sides. Too often, teams get pulled into “X is better than Y” debates that miss the bigger picture: your compute stack should serve your needs, not industry hype. A common decision point in the past has been the choice between bare metal or cloud hyperscalar virtualization. Nowadays, the answer isn't 1 or 0.
