Zero code tracing: Kubernetes observability with Logz.io and eBPF

Dec 30, 2025 By Yotam Loewenbach In logz.io
Distributed tracing is a core tool for operating modern microservices platforms. For SREs and DevOps teams, it is often the fastest way to understand latency issues, service dependencies, and unexpected failure modes. But achieving comprehensive tracing coverage is resource-intensive and time-consuming. It usually requires application changes, language-specific instrumentation, agent lifecycle management, and ongoing coordination with development teams.

Do You Need a Service Mesh? Understanding the Role of CNI vs. Service Mesh

Dec 24, 2025 By Veronika Smolik In Tigera
The world of Kubernetes networking can sometimes be confusing. What’s a CNI? A service mesh? Do I need one? Both? And how do they interact in my cluster? The questions can go on and on. Even for seasoned platform engineers, making sense of where these two components overlap and where the boundaries of responsibility end can be challenging. Seemingly bewildering obstacles can stand in the way of getting the most out of their complementary features.

How Istio Ambient Mode Delivers Real World Solutions

Dec 18, 2025 By John Alexander In Tigera
For years, platform teams have known what a service mesh can provide: strong workload identity, authorization, mutual TLS authentication and encryption, fine-grained traffic control, and deep observability across distributed systems. In theory, Istio checked all the boxes. In practice though, many teams hit a wall. Across industries like financial services, media, retail, and SaaS, organizations told a similar story. They wanted mTLS between services to meet regulatory or security requirements.

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.

Building visibility and resilience across Kubernetes

Dec 16, 2025 By Hemant Bansal In Coralogix
Kubernetes has transformed how modern applications are deployed and scaled. Its flexibility and automation power innovation but also expand the attack surface. 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, 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.

The cloud the way you want it: Introducing cloud parity

Dec 15, 2025 By Civo In Civo
For decades, there have been two incompatible worlds in cloud: Public (AWS, Google, Microsoft) and Private (VMware, Nutanix). Moving between them meant throwing everything away and re-architecting your systems. Civo is rewriting that script. This final thought from the Civo keynote at Civo Navigate London 2025 introduces Cloud Parity: the elimination of the public/private gap. It's just one way of working, with the same product, same API, and same support.

Monitor your Kubernetes operators to keep applications running smoothly

Dec 15, 2025 By David Lentz In Datadog
The performance of your Kubernetes operators often influences the behavior of the applications they manage. Operators automate the day-to-day management of your applications by executing critical activities, which may include scaling replicas, performing upgrades, and recovering from failures. For example, a PostgreSQL operator can ensure that standby servers are always deployed, that the database’s failover is correctly configured, and that data is backed up on schedule.

AWS Batch On EKS: Streamlining Containerized Workloads

Dec 5, 2025 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
Machine learning pipelines are getting heavier by the day. From model training to large-scale inference and data preprocessing, compute demands are scaling faster than teams can manage. Kubernetes clusters groan under unpredictable job spikes. Static infrastructure wastes money when workloads slow down. The result? Organizations are perpetually chasing flexibility, automation, and cost efficiency. AWS has quietly built a solution to establish that balance.

Is It Time to Migrate? A Practical Look at Kubernetes Ingress vs. Gateway API

Dec 4, 2025 By Reza Ramezanpour In Tigera
If you’ve managed traffic in Kubernetes, you’ve likely worked with Ingress controllers. For years, Ingress has been the standard way to expose HTTP and HTTPS services. But in practice, it often came with trade-offs. Controller-specific annotations were required to unlock critical features, the line between infrastructure and application responsibilities was unclear, and configurations often became tied to the implementation rather than the intent.

Managing TLS certificates at scale is one of those operational tasks that starts simple and quickly grows into a sprawling problem.

Optimize Kubernetes cluster cost with Datadog Cluster Autoscaler

Dec 2, 2025 By Allie Rittman In Datadog
Running Kubernetes at scale almost always means paying for more compute than you need. To protect reliability, platform and application teams typically overprovision nodes early in development and keep scaling up as they add features and workloads. They are often reluctant to move to smaller or different instance types without a clear picture of how those changes will affect performance or availability. The result is a fleet of underutilized nodes that silently inflate your cloud bill.
