SUSE and RKE2 are introducing KubeSleep: Smart Kubernetes Scaling Based on Developer Inactivity

We’re excited to announce Kubesleep, a smart Kubernetes operator developed by SUSE that optimizes cluster efficiency and significantly reduces infrastructure costs. Kubesleep automatically scales workloads based on actual developer activity, intelligently detecting periods of inactivity and scaling down resources to save energy and expenses. Best of all, your clusters smoothly scale back up before developers even notice.

Ending the IngressNightmare: How SUSE Secures Your Kubernetes Clusters from External and Internal Threats

In March 2025, Wiz researchers disclosed a set of critical vulnerabilities in the popular ingress-nginx controller for Kubernetes. Collectively referred to as IngressNightmare, these issues (CVE-2025-1097, CVE-2025-1098, CVE-2025-24513, CVE-2025-24514, and CVE-2025-1974) allow unauthenticated attackers to exploit the Ingress admission controller, potentially achieving remote code execution or escalating privileges in the cluster.

Practical Tips on Handling Errors and Exceptions in Python

Have you ever encountered a confusing error message that left you wondering what went wrong in your Python code? You’re not alone. Even the most experienced developers run into exceptions, making it essential to understand how to handle them effectively. While basic syntax errors can be caught early by code editors and debugging tools, more complex issues often arise at runtime, requiring a structured approach to exception handling.

What MSPs Need to Know About ISO 27001 Compliance in 2025

In today’s evolving cybersecurity landscape, managed service providers (MSPs) play a critical role in ensuring their clients’ IT environments remain secure, compliant, and resilient. One of the most widely recognized global standards for information security management is ISO 27001—a framework that establishes best practices for managing security risks and protecting sensitive data.

Back to the Metal

Bare metal is BACK! For years virtualization has absolutely dominated the cloud market. The market for virtualization is still 10x larger than bare metal ($8B USD vs$100B USD). But now consumers are demanding MORE for their workloads. … and the signal from the data suggest that this trend isn't going away anytime soon. If we look a bit deeper, we might see another story enabling the avalanche of (re) adoption in bare metal.

Postmortem Template to Optimize Your Incident Response

A postmortem template is a structured tool for documenting incidents, understanding their causes, and learning how to prevent them in the future. This article explains the essential elements of an effective postmortem and how ilert can streamline this process, making your incident response more efficient. It also offers a downloadable version of a postmortem template that you can use if you haven't yet utilized an incident management platform in your organization.

Simplify multi-cloud cost management with FOCUS and Datadog

When your cloud environment spans multiple cloud service providers (CSPs) and SaaS providers, it can be challenging to collect cost and usage data in a way that gives you complete visibility. Each provider formats its data according to a unique billing model, and these inconsistencies can leave you with fragmented information about your total cloud spend.

Using eBPF for modern IT observability: challenges and opportunities

Modern IT demands modern observability that flows with its dynamism and all-encompassing approach. Modern observability must overcome the constraints suffered by traditional monitoring due to its custom-built agent-based architectures. Monitoring tools converge poll-based methods with log analysis and application performance monitoring (APM), a process that can be slow and lacking in granularity that today's complex environments demand.

Kubernetes Monitoring: One view for observing all your storage volumes

If you want to observe your entire Kubernetes environment, you need visibility into all of your resources, including storage volumes. But monitoring Kubernetes storage hasn’t always been easy, especially if you wanted to see how it related to other parts of your infrastructure.

Want to grow your revenues? Think Microsoft managed services.

As an MSP, you basically have three options if you want to grow your revenues: go out and win more customers, sell more to the customers you have, or try to do both. Whichever path you choose, you need a killer offer, and these days it’s tough to beat a Microsoft Teams service. Millions of businesses rely on Teams for productivity, which means the potential market is huge. And has become strategically critical: companies need it to perform with high reliability and zero friction.
