On-prem DBaaS in 2026: Platforms, standards, and gaps
For application teams, databases should feel like a solved problem. A team needs PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis, or another data service, submits a request, receives credentials, and starts building. In practice, the experience is rarely that simple....

The CNCF Data Storage in Cloud Native AI White Paper
Deploying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) workloads at scale has become a primary objective for modern enterprises. However, moving these data-heavy, stateful workloads into cloud native infrastructure introduces massive data bottlenecks. To help organizations...

Network boundary for AI agents using NGINX and OpenTelemetry
I recently had an interesting conversation at a KCD about OpenClaw with one of the attendees, and they remarked that they wouldn’t put an agent in their network, because “we don’t know what that thing really...

Understanding dynamic resource allocation in Kubernetes
Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) recently reached GA in Kubernetes v1.35, and I believe many of us are eager to give it a try. Adding to the momentum, NVIDIA has moved dra-driver-nvidia-gpu into Kubernetes SIGs, with the...

Security Profiles Operator v1: Stable APIs, Security Hardened, and Shaping Upstream Kubernetes
Linux provides powerful kernel-level security mechanisms, seccomp, SELinux, and AppArmor, that restrict what containerized workloads can do. Each uses profiles that define permitted behavior, but writing, distributing, and maintaining those profiles by hand is tedious and...

From data residency to digital sovereignty: Architectural patterns for cloud native platforms
Over the past two years, digital sovereignty has evolved from a policy discussion into a practical platform engineering concern. The EU Data Act has been fully applicable since January 11, 2025. NIS-2 and DORA already shape...

Solving secret sprawl in multi-account Kubernetes with External Secrets Operator
Infrastructure provisioning in Kubernetes has become increasingly automated, but secret management often remains a challenge as environments grow. Organizations commonly separate development, staging, and production workloads across clusters, namespaces, or cloud accounts to improve security and...

Breaking free of a single datacenter: Practical geo-distributed AI operations with the k0smos platforms
Breaking the single datacenter assumption Modern AI architectures are built on the assumption of centralized, homogeneous data centers. In reality, infrastructure is messy. For most organizations, compute resources are fragmented across private clouds, research environments, and...

Benchmarking KubeVirt performance with virtbench
Organizations migrating VM estates from traditional hypervisors to KubeVirt often discover that many Kubernetes observability tools were originally designed around container workloads rather than VM-centric operational metrics. While KubeVirt schedules VMs as pods, the performance variables...

GPU autoscaling on Kubernetes with KEDA: Building an external scaler
If you run GPU workloads on Kubernetes — vLLM, Triton, training jobs, or the newer agentic inference stacks — you’ve probably hit a familiar problem: the default autoscaling path still reasons about CPU and memory, while...
