A passing test in a monolith traditionally offered a relatively straightforward signal. The code behaved as expected under the conditions tested. The function produced the expected output. The integration with the database worked. The deployment was probably safe within those limits. A passing test in a cloud-native system can offer
The real transformation begins when the ML lifecycle becomes declarative, observable, and recoverable. As Vara Bonthu described in a recent CNCF article, the great migration of AI workloads to Kubernetes is well underway. Training jobs run in containers, inference services run as Deployments, and GPUs are scheduled across clusters. These
A cloud security alert can flag unusual activity on a workload, but the alert alone may not tell an analyst how much damage an attacker could cause. A workload with permission to access sensitive storage or assume an administrative role presents a greater risk if compromised than one with limited
If you’re running a multi-AZ Kubernetes cluster with a service mesh on top, there’s a good chance you’re paying a tax you never signed up for, and it won’t show up as a line item on any dashboard you’re already watching. The Default Nobody Configures Kubernetes Services and Istio’s Envoy

From Replit's database deletion to the Nx supply chain attack, AI agent failures expose a dangerous truth: The biggest risk isn't intelligence, but unchecked authority. [...]
“Simplicity means that the smallest solution that solves the entire problem is the best solution. It keeps the systems easy to understand and reduces complex component interactions that can cause debugging nightmares.” — The Practice of System and Network Administration In every infrastructure codebase I maintain, there’s a directory called docs/adr. It’s where I keep […] [...]
