How Cloud Native Can Reduce the Cost of Machine Learning

As engineers, we tend to pride ourselves on building a production-first mindset and operational excellence. According to a recent survey, 74% of executives believe that AI will deliver more efficient business processes, while 55% think that AI will help develop new business models and create new products and services. However, the reality is that 85% of ML projects fail to deliver, and 53% of machine learning prototypes don't make it to production.

Feature Spotlight: Dynamic Kubernetes Observability Dashboards

If you're a software engineer working with Kubernetes, you know how vital it is to have accurate, real-time information about your applications and resources. With StackState's dynamic Kubernetes observability dashboards, you can now access all the essential data you need for troubleshooting on a single screen. In this blog post, we'll discuss the key features of these dashboards, why they're valuable and how to get started with them.

What's New in Sysdig - March & April 2023

This month, Sysdig Secure’s Container Registry scanning functionality became generally available for all users. This functionality provides an added layer of security between the pipeline and runtime scanning stages. On Sysdig Monitor, we introduced a feature to automatically translate Metrics alerts in form-based query to PromQL. This allows you to choose between the convenience of form and the flexibility of PromQL.

D2iQ Turns 10: A Decade of Innovation

D2iQ celebrates its 10th anniversary this week. What is remarkable about this decade of growth is the way the maturation of the D2iQ Kubernetes Platform (DKP) has followed the curve of Kubernetes maturation and adoption. As last week’s KubeCon Europe 2023 conference showed, the container management technology that they pioneered is going gangbusters.

GitOps The Planet #10: Demystifying SBOMs and Their Impact on CI/CD Software Delivery

Before cloud-native controlling components delivered was in some ways "easier" in that ops teams could limit which components were available on nodes. With containerization, the ops problem became harder while the dev side became easier. Now SBOMS (software bill of materials) are becoming critical to software supply chain risk management. In this episode, GitOps the Planet Alum, Christian Hernandez will join to walk us through SBOMS, how we should be using them, and how they help improve software security.

Stateful workloads: How to guarantee savings and continuity

Stateful workloads require consistent access to specific network and disk artifacts. Yet with little tolerance for interruptions, it’s no surprise that these workloads can be costly to run. As a result, organizations face a challenging trade-off between consistency and cost-efficiency as their cloud estates scale and cost concerns grow. However, running stateful workloads doesn’t necessitate overprovisioned, expensive, and unpredictable compute costs.

Calico's 3.26.0 update unlocks high density vertical scaling in Kubernetes

Kubernetes is a highly popular and widely used container orchestration platform designed to deploy and manage containerized applications at a scale, with strong horizontal scaling capabilities that can support up to 5,000 nodes; the only limit in adding nodes to your cluster is your budget. However, its vertical scaling is restricted by its default configurations, with a cap of 110 pods per node.
