Putting Amazon ECS on the map

Say "ECS" and most people picture serverless containers: no nodes to manage, and nothing underneath you are allowed to touch. For an eBPF-based agent that is a dead end. There is no host to run on, no privileged containers, no kernel to attach to. But ECS is not always serverless. With the EC2 launch type you bring the nodes and ECS brings the scheduler: task definitions, services, rolling deployments, daemons, placement.

How to Prepare Storage Containers for Temporary Warehouse Closure

A company's temporary closure of its warehouses can create a serious challenge, if its inventories, equipment, and supplies are not placed in different storage locations or brought to a halt for a short period of time. During such occurrences, the corporations have a responsibility to either ensure enough free space for stashing goods or move their properties elsewhere, if continued functioning in new conditions remains possible while still meeting customer demands during this time.

DevOps Team Extension: Qovery engineers watching your infrastructure every month

DevOps Team Extension gives growing engineering teams a named Qovery engineer, a continuous infrastructure scan, and a monthly remediation plan, so they can scale reliability, security and compliance without hiring a DevOps team first. Romaric founded Qovery to make Kubernetes accessible to every engineering team. He writes about platform strategy, developer experience, and the future of cloud infrastructure.

Replacing ingress-nginx with Envoy Gateway on Hundreds of Clusters: What the Plan Missed

In February we planned to move every Qovery-managed cluster from ingress-nginx to Envoy Gateway by the end of March. It took until October. Here is the rollout model, every class of problem we hit, and what I would do differently. Benjamin is a staff engineer at Qovery focused on infrastructure automation, Kubernetes internals, and building the deployment engine that powers thousands of clusters.

Inside a DevOps Team Extension engagement: an infrastructure review and a Typesense architecture session

How Qovery assessed a growing B2B SaaS company's infrastructure across about 150 controls, what the review with their team changed, and why a Typesense high-availability project turned into a sharding plan. Romaric founded Qovery to make Kubernetes accessible to every engineering team. He writes about platform strategy, developer experience, and the future of cloud infrastructure.

Digital Sovereignty Panel: Who Really Controls Your Data? | Civo Navigate London

Your data sits in the UK. But who has the final say over it? As AI raises the stakes on where data lives and who controls it, digital sovereignty has moved from policy debate to boardroom priority. At Civo Navigate London, Lord Paul Drayson, Simon Hansford, Richard Woodfield of DataVita, Dan Chester of VAST Data and Ed Barker of Havishams explore what sovereignty really means for governments, businesses and the infrastructure behind them, and what it will take for the UK to adopt AI without giving up control.

Why AI SRE Agents Need More Than Observability Data with Groundcover | Civo Navigate London

Your AI agent can read every log, metric and trace in seconds. It still can't tell you why things broke. At Civo Navigate London, James Herbert of groundcover explains why AI SRE agents need that context to travel the whole development lifecycle. He shows how agents embedded in the tools where software is built and run can move from isolated tasks to investigating and acting with the full picture.

How we investigate Sentry errors with an AI agent

We built an AI agent on Qovery to investigate Sentry alerts before our team picks them up. Here’s how the workflow runs, what it delivers, and where engineers still need to step in. Rémi is a staff frontend engineer at Qovery. He writes about frontend architecture, developer experience, and building scalable UI systems for platform engineering tools.

Building AI SRE Agents, Part 3: Autonomous in the Cloud

Your agent has earned trust in shadow mode. Now it runs on its own: an alert fires, the agent starts, investigates and proposes a fix before anyone opens a laptop. Here is what it takes to make that safe, scalable and better every week. This is the third article in a series on taking an AI SRE agent from a weekend experiment to production. Part 1 built a local, read-only agent on a throwaway cluster and refined it against a synthetic eval set.

We Ran Minecraft on 4 Raspberry Pis with Kubernetes and Monitored it with Open Source

Why did we do this? Not important: jump to 1:31 to see the Pis. TL;DR: We stuck Minecraft on kubernetes running on 4 Raspberry Pis in a 3D-Printed case, and monitored it with open source observability. Huge thanks to Percona DBA Ivan Zaitsev for putting the demo together for Percona University, Montevideo. Coroot automatically collects and visualizes all your telemetry data: logs, metrics, traces, profiles, and a complete map of your services. With the complete context of eBPF, it can diagnose the exact cause of an incident in seconds, and show you the exact commands to fix it.
