The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
This release brings 60 enhancements, way up from the 37 enhancements in Kubernetes 1.26 and the 40 in Kubernetes 1.25. Of those 60 enhancements, 12 are graduating to Stable, 29 are existing features that keep improving, 18 are completely new, and one is a deprecated feature. Watch out for all the deprecations and removals in this version! The main highlight of this release is actually outside Kubernetes.
eBPF is a powerful technical framework to see every interaction between an application and the Linux kernel it relies on. eBPF allows us to get granular visibility into network activity, resource utilization, file access, and much more. It has become a primary method for observability of our applications on premises and in the cloud. In this post, we’ll explore in-depth how eBPF works, its use cases, and how we can use it today specifically for container monitoring.
Prometheus is an open source and free to use metrics collection and storage solution. It's used extensively in the industry for monitoring many different technologies. In this article I will show you how to get Prometheus up and running as a binary, a container running in Docker, and inside Kubernetes.

Sometimes you come across the root cause straight away, but when dealing with complex issues you may lose a lot of time going back and forth, and time is a precious asset when everything goes up in flames. Sysdig Agent leverages eBPF for granular telemetry.
Nir Shtein, Software Engineer 6 min read March 30th, 2023 Komodor Tutorials As software developers, we always want to improve ourselves continuously. It can be through writing cleaner and more efficient code, using new design patterns, expanding our stack, or deep-diving into a specific technology. We strive to improve; we’re encouraged to do post-mortems with action items and to keep asking what went right and what went wrong.
