The AI Model Showdown - LLaMA 3.3-70B vs. Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2 vs. DeepSeek-R1/V3

Following all the hype and bluster with DeepSeek’s arrival in the AI landscape––and its ability to crash the poster child of AI’s share value overnight (Nvidia), we wanted to conduct a rigorous evaluation at Komodor. We tested DeepSeek’s models head-to-head against industry leaders in solving real-world Kubernetes challenges.

Ensuring Optimal Kubernetes Cluster Health with Calico Observability

Have you ever wondered how to navigate the complexities of managing Kubernetes clusters effectively? Observability is the key, and Elasticsearch plays a pivotal role in storing and analyzing the critical data that keeps your systems running smoothly.

How To Monitor Kubernetes with Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring

Kubernetes is the standard for orchestrating containerized microservices — but it can present some monitoring challenges. Luckily, we’ve already covered why monitoring Kubernetes is a must-do, the basics of how to do it, and the options you have for collecting monitoring data from a K8s environment.

Coralogix Releases eBPF Observability for K8s Workloads

There are several big barriers to an effective tracing strategy. Modern applications require complex code instrumentation, and legacy applications might not be so easy to alter, and that’s assuming every engineering team can be engaged to make the necessary changes. eBPF & OpenTelemetry flip this entire problem on its head, and Coralogix is one of the first major observability platforms to leverage this exciting functionality, to provide an unobtrusive, low risk overview of your system.

#035 - Beyond Kubernetes: A Veteran of the Container Wars on the Past, Present, and Future of Clo...

This episode of "Kubernetes for Humans" features Dan Ciruli, a Senior Director of Product Management at Nutanix, who shares his journey in tech and his perspective on the evolution of cloud-native technologies. Ciruli discusses his early career as an engineer and his transition to product management, noting that the role was not well-defined in the 1990s. He recounts his experiences with startups, Google, and D2IQ (formerly Mesosphere), highlighting the rise of Docker and projects like Mesos.

Kubernetes Monitoring and Alerting Made Easy with Splunk Observability Cloud and OpenTelemetry

In this video, I'll show you how to quickly setup monitoring and alerting for your Kubernetes clusters using Splunk Observability Cloud. We’ll start by deploying the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector using Helm, and then use the Kubernetes Navigator inside Splunk Observability Cloud to view the health of our cluster and the applications it’s hosting. I’ll demonstrate AutoDetect detectors and alerts by intentionally triggering an issue in the cluster and walk through the alerting process. We’ll review the alerts in Splunk Observability Cloud and then resolve the issue in the cluster.
