It’s time to stop proclaiming that “cloud native is the future”. Kubernetes has just celebrated its 10 year anniversary, and 76% of respondents to the latest CNCF Annual Survey reported that they have adopted cloud native technologies, like containers, for much or all of their production development and deployment. Cloud native isn’t the future – it’s here and now. Data-intensive workloads are no exception.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning operations (MLOps) have become crucial across a wide swath of industries, with the two technologies working in tandem to provide value. AI enables data-driven insights and automation, while MLOps ensures efficient management of AI models throughout their lifecycle. With AI’s growing complexity and scale, organizations need robust infrastructure to manage intensive computational tasks, giving rise to platforms like Kubernetes.

Docker has transformed how we deploy, manage, and scale applications. As applications grow in complexity, the need for effective orchestration increases. This is where Docker Swarm comes into play. Docker’s native clustering and orchestration tool simplifies the management of multi-container applications. Together, Docker and Docker Swarm form a powerful combination for building and scaling modern, distributed systems.

Kubernetes is known to be the best container orchestration tool, but it can also add complexity to resource management, particularly as your clusters expand. Without proper monitoring, problems can rapidly worsen, resulting in subpar application performance, service interruptions, and higher expenses. In this blog, you will learn the key metrics for monitoring Kubernetes performance and how monitoring these can assist you in maintaining optimal performance in your environment.

This series will guide you through the most crucial container networking concepts. You don't need to be a Docker expert to apprehend the different concepts introduced here, though a basic understanding of networking, Docker, and Kubernetes is required. You can fast-track to the second part by going to Docker Networking Part II. Docker is a tool designed to create, build, and run isolated environments inside containers. It's widely used to containerize applications to run inside lightweight containers.

Understanding and managing the impact of Kubernetes changes is one of the biggest challenges for modern DevOps teams. Every modification to a manifest, whether it’s adjusting memory limits, tweaking CPU allocations, or updating container images, has the potential to destabilize services or degrade performance.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are reshaping industries and unlocking unprecedented opportunities. However, the widespread adoption of these technologies hinges on addressing a critical issue: the accessibility of GPUs.

The way we build and scale AI-powered applications is changing faster than anyone could have imagined. Over the last couple of years, we’ve seen dramatic shifts in how developers design experiences and solve challenges with large language models (LLMs). But as trends continue to evolve—often faster than we can adopt them—the big question becomes: How do you find an application platform that doesn’t just keep up but is truly future-proof?

Last year, we witnessed a significant influx of companies transitioning to Cycle from Kubernetes, ECS, and other container platforms. These interactions provided us a front row seat to the evolving culture of DevOps. This article dives into the three biggest DevOps trends that we see making a big impact in 2025.

Kubernetes events play a predominant role in helping ensure the peak performance of your Kubernetes clusters. These occurrences reflect important changes in states and offer immediate insights into the activities within your clusters. Whether a pod fails to initialize, a node becomes unreachable, or an application deployment encounters problems, Kubernetes events help you comprehend the root causes of these occurrences.
