What Dependency Mocking Software Needs to Handle in a Cloud Native Architecture
Much of the dependency mocking software in use today was not designed with cloud native architectures in mind. The tools that dominate the category today were built for a world where services ...
Why Kubernetes RBAC Misconfigurations Are the Easiest Privilege Escalation You’ll Ever Find
Ask any penetration tester which part of a Kubernetes assessment reliably produces a finding, and RBAC comes up almost every time. Not because Kubernetes’ permission model is poorly designed — it’s genuinely ...
Your Service Is Healthy, but Its Data Isn’t: Rethinking Cloud-Native Health Checks

Why CPU-Based Autoscaling Fails for Rails — and What We Used Instead
Kubernetes autoscaling works best when teams match the metric to the workload: queue latency for synchronous web traffic, queue depth for background jobs ...
Write Access Is the Easy Part: The Verification Gap in Agentic Kubernetes Remediation
Giving an AI agent the power to change a cluster is now straightforward. Confirming the change landed, did not produce unintended duplicate effects and achieved the outcome the operator actually wanted is ...
K8sGPT and the Guardrails for AI-Assisted Kubernetes Troubleshooting
A practical way for platform teams to use AI for faster Kubernetes triage without giving agents unsafe control of the cluster. The first time an AI tool gets real cluster context, the ...
Kubernetes Did Not Miss the AI Wave. It Absorbed It
Enterprise AI is settling onto the cloud native stack, and the strongest evidence is not a vendor roadmap. It is what the ecosystem has already standardized ...

DataAgent Emerges From Stealth To Bring Autonomous Remediation to Kubernetes
DataAgent emerged from stealth today with $10 million in pre-seed funding and an agentic AI platform designed to fix production problems inside Kubernetes environments without waiting for a site reliability engineer to ...
Kubernetes v1.37 Enhances Dynamic Resource Allocation
Like many of its fellow projects in the open source community, Kubernetes has seen an increase in pull requests, many of which are no doubt generated by AI. This week’s release of ...
