The Inference Bottleneck: Architecting Kubernetes Autoscaling for Production LLMs
Generative AI (GenAI) is moving into production, but native Kubernetes autoscaling is fundamentally broken for large language model (LLM) inference ...
Kubernetes in Production: Where Platform Decisions Break Down
Kubernetes is often described as “free,” but that assumption falls apart in production. What looks like a complete platform is only a foundation. Everything required to run real workloads reliably sits outside ...

Build Cost Awareness Into Your Kubernetes IDP
How platform teams can make cost efficiency a natural outcome of following the golden path — not a billing surprise discovered three weeks after deployment ...
Why Your Kubernetes Network is Still a Black Box — And How to Fix It
Kubernetes networking failures are hard to diagnose. Learn how eBPF and Microsoft Retina provide real-time network observability across your cluster ...
Pod Requests Are the Input to Every Kubernetes Cost Control Loop
Pod CPU and memory requests drive Kubernetes scheduling, autoscaling and cost allocation. Learn why rightsizing them improves cost control ...
What to Expect From Kubernetes 1.36
Kubernetes 1.36 launches April 22, 2026, marking a major shift in networking as Ingress-Nginx retires in favor of the more scalable Gateway API. Key updates include bolstered Linux User Namespaces for better ...
Why Kubernetes Reliability Is Now a Machine-Speed Problem
Kubernetes incidents now unfold at machine speed. AI-driven systems help SRE teams identify root causes faster ...
Software Supply Chain Security: Why 99% of Your Container is Mystery Code
In a recent talk, the disparity between developers and platform engineers in container security was highlighted, revealing how a single line of code can pull in thousands of vulnerabilities. This article discusses ...
Why IDPs are the Only Way to Scale Kubernetes Beyond Experts
Kubernetes is the default control plane for infrastructure but poses challenges for developers managing its complexities. Internal developer platforms (IDPs) are emerging to create abstraction layers, reducing operational burdens through standardized APIs ...
