Infrastructure Management: Containers vs Virtual Machines

Jun 17, 2025 By Chris Aubuchon In Cycle
Trends in tech come and go, but certain underlying primitives stick around forever. In software, two such primitives are virtual machines and containers. Virtualization paved the way for the cloud to become massive. Data centers would likely never have been commercially viable without it. While still relatively new, containerization has already made a serious mark on the software engineering world.

Configure and customize Kubernetes Monitoring easier with Alloy Operator

Jun 17, 2025 By Pete Wall In Grafana
What if you were to tell Kubernetes Monitoring what you wanted, and the system configured collectors based on your choices? We wondered that as well—wondered enough to create Alloy Operator and its Helm chart for version 3.0 of the Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart. We’re excited to share that the new Kubernetes Monitoring Helm chart is now available, and it introduces a dynamic way of setting up your telemetry data collection with Alloy Operator.

Are You Correctly Deploying LLMs on Kubernetes in 2025?

Jun 17, 2025 By Vinuja Khatode In Civo
We are in mid-2025, and teams across industries are rolling out large language models, or LLMs, to power everything from conversational agents to document understanding. However, getting them to run smoothly in production… That’s still a challenge. A working model isn’t just about putting it in a container and tossing it into a Kubernetes cluster.

Kubernetes CPU Limit: How to Set and Optimize Usage

Jun 16, 2025 By Staff Member In SolarWinds
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

Jun 16, 2025 By Terrence Aluda In 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.

A Simple Guide To GKE Cost Allocation And Cluster Spend

Jun 11, 2025 By Cody Slingerland In CloudZero
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

Jun 11, 2025 By Chris Aubuchon In Cycle
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.
