Kubernetes GPU Scheduling for MLOps and GPU Sharing

The default Kubernetes scheduler was built for stateless services: web servers, APIs, databases. It schedules a pod, checks that a node has enough of whatever resources were requested, and binds it. For CPU and memory, that model works fine. For GPUs, it falls apart in three specific ways. First, GPUs are treated as an opaque integer resource.

If they can turn it off, you don't own it - The AI kill switch problem

If someone else can turn it off, you don't own it. And most organisations haven't fully reckoned with what that means for their AI strategy. Civo Product Director Russ Smith draws a direct line from the Broadcom/VMware licensing shock to the Anthropic model restrictions, two different industries, same structural problem. When a vendor can change the rules overnight, businesses that built their strategy around that vendor are left with uncertainty and no clear next step.

NVIDIA B300 vs. NVIDIA B200: Blackwell Ultra vs. Blackwell

The Blackwell architecture arrived in 2024 as NVIDIA's answer to the next era of AI compute. The B200 set a new standard for inference performance, memory capacity, and training throughput, and many teams are still ramping up their use of it today. Then came Blackwell Ultra. The B300 is built on the same silicon foundation as the B200: same dual-reticle die design, same TSMC 4NP process node, same NVLink 5 interconnect.

VM Migration - What Happens to Your NSX Segments in Kubernetes?

Planning a migration off NSX usually starts with a networking conversation. Segments, VLANs, routing topology and BGP peering are not things that map cleanly to Kubernetes-native constructs the way the NSX distributed firewall maps to Calico’s tiered microsegmentation. NSX virtualizes the network layer in ways that Kubernetes doesn’t replicate by default. There is no native concept of a Layer 2 segment or VLAN, for instance.

Managing slow container starts with Kubernetes readiness probes

Imagine if your workday started as soon as you woke up. Before you can even start your coffee maker, email alerts are flooding in, coworkers are pinging you on Slack, and your phone is buzzing nonstop with reminders. You haven’t even pulled the covers back, and your boss is asking you about deliverables. This is what Kubernetes pods deal with every day. Unless, that is, you use readiness probes.

How to install Kubernetes using OpenShift's CLI | Site24x7

Running Kubernetes on Red Hat OpenShift adds powerful enterprise capabilities—but also introduces operator-driven workloads, stricter RBAC and SCC policies, and platform-specific complexity. In this video, learn how Site24x7 enables platform-aware monitoring for OpenShift environments, helping DevOps and platform teams gain complete visibility without blind spots.

An introduction to the NVIDIA B300: The Blackwell Ultra GPU

AI wasn't supposed to move this fast. Twelve months ago, the H100 was still the benchmark everyone measured themselves against. Six months ago, the B200 changed the calculus for serious inference workloads. Now there's the B300, NVIDIA's Blackwell Ultra GPU, and it doesn't just move the goalposts. It takes them off the pitch entirely. The B300 is the highest-performance GPU in the Blackwell family.

Konstruct product updates: GitLab support, platform broadcasts, and a permission model built for scale

July has been one of our most structurally significant releases yet for Konstruct. With 0.6, we've shipped a second git provider, a completely reworked authorization model, new tooling for AI-assisted troubleshooting, and a handful of improvements that are smaller in scope but large in impact for day-to-day platform operations. Let's walk through what shipped and why it matters. You can explore the full 0.6 release notes directly in the docs.

4 Cloud-Native Challenges AI SRE Is Solving in 2026 and the 3 New Ones to Look Out For

AI SRE is making real strides in resolving some of the greatest pains related to incident response, troubleshooting, and complex root cause analysis. The on-call rotation, the war room, the week-long RCA, and the ticket queue that ate a third of every platform engineer’s week all look different now than they did two years ago.
