Top tips: Fly high with AI-benefits of artificial intelligence in aviation

Top tips is a weekly column where we highlight what’s trending in the tech world today and list ways to explore these trends. This week, we’ll look at two ways AI is optimizing flying for the passenger as well as the airline. "Brace! Brace! Brace!" Simple request. Serious consequences. Something that could get even the most vocal atheist to start praying. Something that no one would ever wish to hear in their lifetime.

Goodbye imagePullSecrets, Hello Kubernetes Credential Providers

Previously, we showed you how to securely pull Docker images from Cloudsmith to Kubernetes using OIDC with a CronJob-based approach. We concluded the post discussing credential provider plugins from Kubernetes 1.20 and an enhancement in Kubernetes 1.33 that offers a new approach for external registries like Cloudsmith. We have now built a credential provider that takes advantage of this new capability. This article explores what this means for the future of pulling images from Cloudsmith on Kubernetes.

Benchmarking Hyperscalers: Aiven for ClickHouse Delivers More for Less

Aiven is proud to introduce our new pricing plans for Aiven for ClickHouse! Depending on your chosen region and plan, you can now double your compute power for the same price. On the other hand, if reducing costs is your priority, it's now possible to lower your total cost by up to 30% for the same compute power, depending on how you use the service. But how did we achieve this? This article explains how, and why Aiven’s nodes are the best for your ClickHouse workloads.

Smarter Data Center Capacity Planning for AI Innovation

Global demand for data center capacity is skyrocketing. From 2023 to 2030, power consumption across data centers is expected to grow by up to 22% annually, driven primarily by generative AI (GenAI) workloads. By 2030, AI workloads are predicted to account for 70% of total demand. This demand doesn’t just mean more hardware; it necessitates high-density computing environments to support training large language models like GPT and real-time inference systems.

What is Internet Jitter & How to Test It

If you’ve ever had a user complain that their video call was choppy or their VoIP call had weird delays, even though the Internet speed looked fine, you’ve probably run into Internet jitter. It’s one of those issues that doesn’t always show up on a speed test, but it can absolutely wreck real-time communication. And if you’re managing networks across remote offices, home setups, or hybrid work environments, you’ll want to keep an eye on it.

In Case You Missed it: DX NetOps Active Experience Launched

There’s no doubt that managing networks today is a whole different ballgame than it used to be. Complexity is growing, environments are more fragmented, and user expectations have never been higher. One of the biggest challenges for network operations teams? Visibility—or the lack of it. Network operations used to be much simpler. Traffic flowed through your own data center, and you had the visibility and control needed to manage performance and troubleshoot issues.
