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...

Get ready to connect, learn, and innovate right in your backyard. Kubernetes Community Days (KCDs) are officially kicking off for H1! Supported by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), these community-organized events bring open source adopters...

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...

Where does Kyverno live in your organization? I don’t mean which cluster! On which team’s slide deck does it show up? Whose budget line?  For most companies I’ve talked to, the answer is security. Kyverno is...

When people talk about cloud sovereignty, the conversation often starts with regions: where a workload runs and where its data is stored. But choosing a region is only part of the story. The architecture of the...

If you have yet to meet Phippy, she’s a friendly PHP app exploring the cloud native world with her pals. Over the last decade, Phippy’s circle has grown to include eighteen friends, with the newest members...

Once upon a time, upgrading a Kubernetes control plane meant staying awake for it. SSH into every node. Run the upgrade by hand. Watch etcd health the whole time, hoping quorum holds through every reboot. This...

Dragonfly speeds up file and container image distribution using peer-to-peer (P2P) technology, but a standard installation deploys several components and dependencies. Beyond the Scheduler, Seed Client, and Client that move data, a traditional setup requires a...

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...

As parents in tech, we’ve learned that neither children nor applications thrive without clear boundaries. There are no “good” or “bad” kids, just as there are no inherently “good” or “bad” applications, only behaviors shaped by...

The rise in the number of tools available for creating and running AI content has lowered the barrier of entry and offered the flexibility of choice when choosing the appropriate solution for a given use case....

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...

I joined the LFX mentorship expecting to spend three months writing documentation. A few weeks later, I was deploying OpenTelemetry Collectors across AWS EC2 instances, debugging networking problems between machines, and trying to understand why a...

Projects that want to share a GPU on Kubernetes have to work around an API instead of with it. The device plugin interface could count devices, and that was the whole vocabulary: nvidia.com/gpu: 1. It meant one...

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...

About LitmusChaos LitmusChaos is an open source chaos engineering platform that helps teams identify weaknesses and potential outages in their infrastructure by running controlled chaos experiments. Built on cloud native principles, LitmusChaos enables teams to validate...

Your GPU bill is rising. Your models are serving billions of tokens. Yet one question remains unanswered: what does each token actually cost? This is not a hypothetical problem. Platform teams today operate in a fog...

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...

The unified kubeflow-sdk  has officially crossed 1 million downloads on PyPI! This milestone reflects the rapid adoption of this streamlined interface. In this post, we celebrate this community milestone and highlight the core concepts driving the...

The Open Source Technology Improvement Fund is proud to share the results of our security audit of Cortex. Cortex functions as a long-term, multi-tenant scalable open source storage for Prometheus and OpenTelemetry. Thanks to Quarkslab and...
