Kubernetes Wasn’t Built for GPUs. Make It Behave
Kubernetes counts whole GPUs and treats pods as disposable. An LLM pod is neither. Share the silicon with MIG/MPS/time-slicing and stop paying for idle ...
How Open-Source Automation Tools Handle the Testing Problem That Cloud-Native Independent Deployment Creates
Independent deployment creates a coverage currency problem manual maintenance cannot scale to address. Learn how open-source automation tools handle it structurally. ...
Stop Treating GPUs Like Web Pods
Kubernetes schedules accelerators as opaque integers, and your bill pays for it. Share the silicon, scale on the right signal and keep weights out of the image ...
The Telemetry Debt Crisis: Why Cloud-Native Teams are Optimizing the Wrong Metric
