When Kubernetes restarts your pod — And when it doesn’t
Project Maintainer Post When Kubernetes restarts your pod — And when it doesn’t
A production internals guide verified against Kubernetes 1.35 GACompanion repository: github.com/opscart/k8s-pod-restart-mechanics The terminology problem Engineers say “the pod restarted” when they mean four different things. Getting this wrong leads to flawed runbooks and bad on-call decisions....

How cloud native goes AI native
Member Post How cloud native goes AI native
“A sales guy writing code” used to be the lead-up to a joke. But now no one’s laughing. Designers used to sit meekly waiting for the high priests of code to make their designs real. Now...

Distributed tracing for CI pipelines without touching a single workflow file
Member Post Distributed tracing for CI pipelines without touching a single workflow file
You’ve probably felt this one: GitHub Actions usage creeps up across your org, and your actual visibility into it doesn’t keep pace. Which workflows are slow? Which are flaky? How long are jobs sitting queued for...

CPU + GPU: Why AI platform engineering is a heterogeneous infrastructure problem 
Member Post CPU + GPU: Why AI platform engineering is a heterogeneous infrastructure problem 
AI infrastructure conversations often start with GPUs. Accelerators provide much of the compute behind model training and inference, so the focus is understandable. But a production AI workload rarely starts and ends on a GPU. Data...

Kubernetes isn’t new, but AI makes It scary again
Member Post Kubernetes isn’t new, but AI makes It scary again
Kubernetes isn’t brand new anymore. Yet, for many teams, adopting it still feels intimidating. Even if you’ve watched Kubernetes become the default foundation for production software and AI workloads, it can still feel like a big...

Migrating a critical Kubernetes deployment from the default namespace without any downtime
Member Post Migrating a critical Kubernetes deployment from the default namespace without any downtime
Somewhere in your cluster there’s probably a deployment sitting in the default namespace that everyone knows shouldn’t be there. Nobody put it there maliciously, it just happened, early on, before anyone had opinions about namespace hygiene,...

Observability in Kubernetes: From metrics to meaning
Member Post Observability in Kubernetes: From metrics to meaning
Kubernetes made infrastructure more programmable, scalable, and resilient. It also made production systems harder to reason about. Workloads move, replicas churn, dependencies multiply, and a single user request can cross ingress, services, queues, storage, and background...

Your Kubernetes platform is ready for containers. Is it ready for AI?
Member Post Your Kubernetes platform is ready for containers. Is it ready for AI?
Kubernetes has given platform teams a consistent way to deploy, scale, and operate containerized applications. Now, many of those same teams are being asked to support AI. The transition is already underway. According to the CNCF...

Stop trying to learn all of Kubernetes at once
Member Post Stop trying to learn all of Kubernetes at once
As a recovering VMware architect, it took me a little while to grasp Kubernetes. And I noticed I’m not alone in this.. From developers on our own team who need to get fluent in Kubernetes fast...

Automating root cause analysis at scale: Multi-signal correlation for cloud native incident response
Member Post Automating root cause analysis at scale: Multi-signal correlation for cloud native incident response
The problem: Humans shouldn’t be correlation engines At Atlassian’s scale, hundreds of interconnected microservices distributed across multiple regions mean a production incident generates an overwhelming volume of telemetry. The problem is that finding the causal factor...

How to turn slow queries into actionable reliability metrics with OpenTelemetry
Member Post How to turn slow queries into actionable reliability metrics with OpenTelemetry
Slow SQL queries degrade user experience, cause cascading failures, and turn simple operations into production incidents. The traditional fix? Collect more telemetry. But more telemetry means more things to look at, not necessarily more understanding. Instead...

German ciphers, telegrams, and cloud native data sovereignty
Member Post German ciphers, telegrams, and cloud native data sovereignty
A lesson from 1917 In January 1917, Germany sent a secret telegram. It went to Mexico. The offer: join the war against the United States, and you can have Texas, Arizona and New Mexico back. The...

LLMOps and platform engineering: Who should own the AI pipeline?
Member Post LLMOps and platform engineering: Who should own the AI pipeline?
A few years ago, getting a model into production meant a data scientist, a DevOps engineer, and a narrow set of tools: train it, test it, ship it, watch the dashboards. Large language models broke that...

A practical guide to solving when zero+zero=two in mesh observability
Member Post A practical guide to solving when zero+zero=two in mesh observability
A Service Mesh like Istio, together with Kiali gives you a lot on day one. You install the mesh, point Prometheus at it, and suddenly you have request rate, latency, error rate, and a fairly good...

Shadow AI in CI/CD: Threat-modeling the path from developer laptop to Kubernetes
Member Post Shadow AI in CI/CD: Threat-modeling the path from developer laptop to Kubernetes
Artificial intelligence is becoming part of daily software delivery, often before it becomes part of the security architecture. That gap has a name: Shadow AI. It is any AI tool, model, agent, extension, or integration used...

You can’t debug what you can’t see — Observability for AI Agents 
Member Post You can’t debug what you can’t see — Observability for AI Agents 
This article reflects practical experience building and operating production AI agent systems. Traditional APM can’t tell you why your agent spent far more than usual asking the same question three times. We’ve been running AI agents...

Scaling Kubernetes pods with KEDA based on Amazon SQS queue depth
Member Post Scaling Kubernetes pods with KEDA based on Amazon SQS queue depth
In event-driven Kubernetes architectures, CPU and memory utilization often fail to reflect real system pressure. A worker pod may sit idle from a CPU perspective while thousands of messages pile up in an Amazon SQS queue....
