Monitor TAS and gang scheduling for AI training in Kubernetes

Distributed AI training workloads impose complex scheduling requirements that Kubernetes’s built-in scheduler can’t meet. Kubernetes schedules pods individually and independently, but distributed training introduces two requirements that break this model: Pods must land on hardware with the right inter-GPU bandwidth, and all pods must be scheduled simultaneously. If either requirement goes unmet, training stalls or runs far below the hardware’s potential.

How to operate shared platforms safely at agent scale

A platform engineering team can design robust Golden Paths for agent use yet still be unprepared for what happens after adoption. An agent may authenticate properly, call the correct tools, adhere to approval gates, and complete tasks without incident, but new operational risks arise once multiple teams begin running agents continuously and in parallel. We’ve encountered these risks firsthand at Datadog.

The 12 Point Checklist Before Your AI Voice Agent Takes Live Calls

You have tested your AI voicebot solutions for weeks. The calls sound natural, the answers are accurate, and the demo works exactly as planned. Then you put it on a live call. A caller interrupts while the agent is speaking. Speech recognition misses an account number. An API takes three seconds to respond. The LLM slows down under load. One service fails, and suddenly your polished voice agent has no idea what to do next.

How Video Production Services Support a Stronger Marketing Strategy

Marketing budgets get stretched across a lot of channels, paid ads, email campaigns, social content, SEO, and it is easy for video to end up as an afterthought squeezed into whatever remains. That approach misses something important, since video has become one of the most effective ways to actually capture attention and communicate a brand's value in a market where audiences scroll past static content in seconds.

How Outsourcing Manufacturing Can Improve Business Operations

Turning a great idea into a successful product line is a complex journey. You've likely spent countless hours perfecting your formula, designing your branding, and pinpointing your target market. But often, the biggest challenge comes when you need to make that leap from concept to a physical product: manufacturing. For many companies, especially small to medium-sized ones, building and running their own production facility just isn't practical. That's where outsourcing manufacturing steps in as a powerful way to streamline operations and boost growth.

eBPF: Correlating rustls Plaintext to TCP Connections Without a File Descriptor

In Under the Hood with Go TLS and eBPF, I left socket tracking as an exercise for later. The example used bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() and explicitly excluded concurrent TLS operations. Capturing plaintext was enough for that post. With rustls, later arrived: I could read the HTTP payload perfectly and still attach it to the wrong TCP connection. That’s a frustratingly convincing failure. The request looks right. The response looks right. The application works.

SAP Cloud ALM vs Solution Manager: What's Actually Changing

For most SAP customers, Solution Manager has been the system of record for how change happens. It has run ChaRM to control transports, hosted the IT service management queue for incidents and requests, driven test management and process documentation, and provided the monitoring layer for many on premise landscapes. It has done this job, largely unnoticed, for two decades.
