Hot code burns: the supply chain case for letting your containers cool before you ship

Mar 23, 2026 By ijlal-loutfi In Canonical
In September 2025, dozens of popular JavaScript packages, like chalk and debug, were compromised on the npm registry. These packages are so ubiquitous they end up in everything: front-end apps, back-end microservices, and CI tooling. Developers didn’t do anything wrong, they just ran the same command they always do: npm install chalk. But then the malware arrived silently. This wasn’t a bug in an operating system. It wasn’t a virus on someone’s laptop.

Calico Load Balancer: Simplifying Network Traffic Management with eBPF

Mar 21, 2026 By Aadhil Abdul Majeed In Tigera
Ever had a load balancer become the bottleneck in an on-prem Kubernetes cluster? You are not alone. Traditional hardware load balancers add cost, create coordination overhead, and can make scaling painful. A Kubernetes-native approach can overcome many of those challenges by pushing load balancing into the cluster data plane.

Lift-and-Shift VMs to Kubernetes with Calico L2 Bridge Networks

Mar 20, 2026 By Aadhil Abdul Majeed In Tigera
On paper, lift-and-shift VM migration to Kubernetes sounds simple. Compute can be moved. Storage can be remapped. But many migration projects stall at the network boundary. VM workloads are often tied to IP addresses, network segments, firewall rules, and routing models that already exist in the wider environment. That is where lift-and-shift becomes much harder than it first appears.

What Proximity Badges and Cards Actually Do in Secure Spaces

What Proximity Badges and Cards Actually Do in Secure Spaces

Mar 20, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Security systems can feel abstract until you arrive at a door and need to get through it. That moment exposes the gap between policy and usability. Proximity badges and cards are part of the bridge between security intent and real world movement. They allow authorized people to enter specific areas without keys or codes, and they do it in a way that fits into daily patterns of movement. This article explains how they work, why they matter, and what they change in everyday operations.

How Your Office Printer Scanner Can Become a Workflow Automation Hub

Mar 19, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Modern business operations often move at the speed of software, yet physical documents remain a constant presence in the daily grind. Most teams view their hardware as a simple tool for reproduction or digital conversion. However, the true potential of these devices lies in their ability to act as a bridge between tangible paperwork and automated digital systems. When configured correctly, a standard piece of office equipment can trigger complex sequences that save hours of manual data entry.

What Your EKS Flow Logs Aren't Telling You

Mar 18, 2026 By Phil DiCorpo In Tigera
If you’re running workloads on Amazon EKS, there’s a good chance you already have some form of network observability in place. VPC Flow Logs have been a staple of AWS networking for years, and AWS has since introduced Container Network Observability, a newer set of capabilities built on Amazon CloudWatch Network Flow Monitor, that adds pod-level visibility and a service map directly in the EKS console.
