[Webinar] Drift Happens! 3 Kubernetes Drift Scenarios & How to Overcome Them

Many organizations don’t realize the impact of Kubernetes drift until they’re managing multiple clusters and face skyrocketing costs, delayed fixes, and downtime. Drift can lead to inefficiencies and even critical security risks. That’s why it’s crucial to understand and proactively address drift at scale.

Going Green with GPUs: The Role of Sustainability in Cloud Computing

As businesses increasingly transition to cloud-based services, the demand for data center resources has surged, leading to higher electricity consumption. Currently, data centers contribute to about 3% of global carbon emissions and account for roughly 1-1.5% of global electricity demand. As a result, the need for sustainable solutions in cloud computing has never been more urgent.

The Top 4 Kubernetes Misconfigurations You Can Avoid on Cycle

Most cloud infrastructure and deployment misconfigurations start innocently enough: a dev under pressure to ship quickly tweaks a configuration file or adjusts a permission setting to make something work. It's not malicious and it might even be well thought out, but these small changes can cause a cascade of reactions that bring down production in seconds.

How to find Kubernetes reliability risks with Gremlin

Part of the Gremlin Office Hours series: A monthly deep dive with Gremlin experts. Most Kubernetes clusters have reliability risks lurking just below the surface. You could spend hours or even days manually finding these risks, but what if someone could find them for you? With Detected Risks, Gremlin automates the work involved in finding and tracking reliability risks across your Kubernetes clusters. Surface failed Pods, mismatched image versions, missing resource definitions, and single points of failure, all without having to run a single test.
