| Flux CD: D1 Reference Architecture |
| |
| |
ControlPlane Enterprise for Flux CD drops the d1 reference architecture and Design 1 Reference Architecture Guide. It packs production-grade playbooks for sprawling multi-tenant, multi-cluster setups. The repo flexes real code: GitHub fine-grained Personal Access Tokens, Kubernetes RBAC, and auto-promotion of Helm OCI artifacts via pull requests.
Infra shift: This blueprint cements multi-tenant GitOps patterns in code. It carves out security zones and syncs workloads across clusters. |

| Closing the gap: How KubeVirt, Kubernetes, and open ecosystems are reshaping virtualisation |
| |
| |
KubeVirt spins up VMs inside Kubernetes clusters. It hooks into Portworx for stateful volumes. It taps OpenShift or Rancher to match VMware’s arsenal. Declarative YAML meets GitOps pipelines, unified schedulers and RBAC. Teams juggle VMs and containers on one toolchain. License bills shrink.
Infra shift: Legacy hypervisors hit the road. Kubernetes-native virtualization fuses VMs and containers and slashes fees. |

| Debugging the One-in-a-Million Failure: Migrating Pinterest’s Search Infrastructure to Kubernetes ✅ |
| |
| |
| Migrating Pinterest's search infrastructure to Kubernetes—toasty, right? But it tripped over a rare hiccup: sluggish 5-second latencies. The culprit? cAdvisor, overzealously spying on memory like a helicopter parent. Flicking off WSS? Problem evaporated. |

| Deep dive into cluster networking for Amazon EKS Hybrid Nodes |
| |
| |
| EKS Hybrid Nodes corrals on-prem and edge servers as remote Kubernetes nodes over Direct Connect or VPN. It rides on Cilium or Calico, with BGP or static routes. For local load balancing, it spins up MetalLB at Layer 2/3. For NLB/ALB sync, it taps the AWS Load Balancer Controller. Workflows stay unified. |

| How To Deploy Fluent Bit in a Kubernetes-Native Way |
| |
| |
| Fluent Operator taps CRDs to tame Fluent Bit in Kubernetes. It channels inputs, filters, parsers, outputs into auto-generated configs. Then spins up the DaemonSet. The Fluent Bit Watcher wrapper hot-swaps configs on CRD tweaks. No pods restart. |

| Kong Gateway Operator and KIC, understanding the differences |
| |
| |
| Kong offers three different helm charts for Kubernetes ingress, leveraging the new Gateway API. Kong Gateway Operator simplifies deployment and management by using CRDs instead of custom helm charts. Using GatewayClass and Gateway resources are essential for the operator to spin up dataplanes and control planes seamlessly. |

| Bare-Metal Kubernetes: The Performance Advantage Is Almost Gone |
| |
| |
Benchmarks crack open the myth: VM-based Kubernetes rivals bare metal. It secures 99% throughput. It matches latency in netperf and MLPerf. Major clouds spin containers on VMs. They enforce hard resource caps, isolation, and central policy management. Bare metal shrinks to ultra-low-latency niches.
Infra shift: VM-backed clusters seize the lead as performance gaps vanish. Bare metal sticks to latency-critical gigs. |

| Centralized Amazon ECS task logging with Amazon OpenSearch |
| |
| |
Amazon ECS tasks fire logs through a FireLens sidecar.
Fluent Bit ships them into a shared Amazon OpenSearch Serverless domain.
Cross-account IAM roles lock down access.
The pipeline centralizes logs, unlocks full-text search, SQL and PPL queries, and slashes storage costs with on-demand indexing.
Trend to watch: Serverless OpenSearch is elbowing CloudWatch aside. Expect richer log forensics and tighter cost control across container fleets. |
