Best practices, tools, and insights for DevOps engineers covering CI/CD, infrastructure as code, containerization, and platform engineering
For years, the Kubernetes Ingress object was the de facto way to expose services to the outside world. But as traffic patterns got more complex — path-based routing, weighted canary splits, header-based routing, and multiple ingress controllers — the classic Ingress API started to show its seams. In 2026, the Kubernetes Gateway API has officially […]
Most SMB clusters run on cluster-admin everywhere. Learn how to implement least-privilege Kubernetes RBAC and workload identity in two weeks.
Kubernetes DRA is GA in v1.35 and changes how SMBs schedule GPUs. Here is how ResourceClaims and DeviceClasses work, with real YAML.
Karpenter automates Kubernetes node provisioning with consolidation and drift detection. Learn how SMBs can cut EC2 costs by up to 40% in 2026.
Hugging Face and the 2026 NPM attacks prove SMBs are supply-chain targets. Generate SBOMs, sign images with Sigstore, and enforce verification in CI.
SOC 2 doesn’t have to mean a GRC team and a six-figure budget. Automate evidence collection, enforce controls as code, and pass your audit in 90 days.
Most SMBs still manage DNS in a web console — one typo takes the site down. Run DNS as code with Terraform, octoDNS, and ExternalDNS.
What Is Policy as Code? Policy as Code (PaC) is the practice of defining and enforcing rules for your infrastructure and applications using code — rather than manual processes, spreadsheets, or wiki pages. Instead of asking “Did the security team approve this change?”, you let your pipeline automatically check: “Does this deployment satisfy our defined
