Introducing hosted control planes on Konstruct

Mar 23, 2026 By John Dietz In Civo
For seven years, I've watched the same pattern. An organization decides it needs a platform and assigns two of its best engineers. They estimate it will take three months, but eighteen months later, they're still integrating ArgoCD with their secrets manager, still debugging Crossplane providers, and still arguing about how to structure the GitOps repo. What’s happened is they’ve built something that works for one team and can't be repeated for a second.

Explore Kubernetes with native OpenTelemetry data

Mar 23, 2026 By Allie Rittman In Datadog
Kubernetes environments generate a constant stream of signals across clusters, nodes, pods, and workloads. For teams that have standardized on OpenTelemetry (OTel), maintaining ownership of that data is critical. But in practice, many observability platforms require translation into vendor-specific data formats, leading to fragmented product experiences, blank dashboards, and uncertainty about data integrity.

Secure and Scale VMware VKS with Calico Kubernetes Networking

Mar 22, 2026 By Abhishek Rao In Tigera
VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) is the CNCF-certified Kubernetes runtime built directly into VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), which delivers a single platform for both virtual machines and containers. VKS enables platform engineers to deploy, manage, and scale Kubernetes clusters while leveraging a comprehensive set of cloud services. And with VKS v3.6, that foundation just got significantly more powerful.

Calico Load Balancer: Simplifying Network Traffic Management with eBPF

Mar 21, 2026 By Aadhil Abdul Majeed In Tigera
Ever had a load balancer become the bottleneck in an on-prem Kubernetes cluster? You are not alone. Traditional hardware load balancers add cost, create coordination overhead, and can make scaling painful. A Kubernetes-native approach can overcome many of those challenges by pushing load balancing into the cluster data plane.

Applications Manager now officially supports Podman monitoring!

Mar 20, 2026 By Sujitha Paduchuri In ManageEngine
As organizations shift away from traditional container engines to embrace Podman’s rootless and daemon-less design, visibility often becomes a challenge. Because Podman doesn't rely on a central background service, traditional monitoring tools can leave you in the dark. Applications Manager's new Podman monitoring feature bridges that gap, giving you total visibility into your Podman workloads without compromising the security model you worked so hard to build.

Day 2 operations: an executive guide to Kubernetes operations and scale

Mar 20, 2026 By Mélanie Dallé In Qovery
Kubernetes success is determined by Day 2 execution, not Day 1 deployment. While migration is a bounded project, maintenance is an infinite loop that often consumes 40% of senior engineering capacity. To protect margins and velocity, enterprises must transition from manual toil to agentic automation that handles scaling, security, and cost.

What is Kubernetes? Explained in 2 Minutes

Mar 20, 2026 By Sysdig In Sysdig
What is Kubernetes, and how do companies like Netflix handle millions of users without crashing? In this quick guide, we break down Kubernetes in simple terms — from containers to pods, nodes, and the control plane — so you can understand how modern cloud applications stay reliable and scalable. Kubernetes acts like an air traffic controller for your apps, automatically managing where they run, restarting them if they fail, and balancing traffic across machines. Whether you're new to cloud computing or brushing up on DevOps basics, this video gives you a clear, beginner-friendly explanation.

Lift-and-Shift VMs to Kubernetes with Calico L2 Bridge Networks

Mar 20, 2026 By Aadhil Abdul Majeed In Tigera
On paper, lift-and-shift VM migration to Kubernetes sounds simple. Compute can be moved. Storage can be remapped. But many migration projects stall at the network boundary. VM workloads are often tied to IP addresses, network segments, firewall rules, and routing models that already exist in the wider environment. That is where lift-and-shift becomes much harder than it first appears.
