  • CodePuns: DAD!
  • DNS Belgium leaves AWS: This is a challenge most countries face with dealing with foreign tech companies that handles their data. Not too different from what the US is trying to do with Tiktok.
  • Why Developers Are Moving to Docker Hardened Images (DHI)?: Much easier to manage the security of your app if you can use harden images by default.
  • 2026 is the Year of Self-hosting: With hardware inflation, I don't think that will happen.
  • FUSE is All You Need - Giving agents access to anything via filesystems: Its been a while since I played around with FUSE. Seems viable, though.
  • I Cannot SSH Into My Server Anymore (And That’s Fine): These days, I don't mind not having ssh access to my server in production, simplify because I can always introspect by using agents and logs. Now on my local box? That is a differenst story.
  • The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe: Tahoe is weird.
  • How Salesforce migrated from Cluster Autoscaler to Karpenter across their fleet of 1,000 EKS clusters: Scaling core compute resources for Kubernetes is a challenge that seems to be nicely solved by Karpenter. I would be curious to see if OpenShift adopts this over MachineSets
  • How To Scale GitOps Without Hitting the ‘Argo Ceiling’: Admmitly, I still need to setup ArgoCD, so I can't speak on the challenges with it yet.
  • Automated High-Speed Parallel multi-node upgrades with Red Hat OpenShift: OpenShift surprisingly is easy to upgrade, as long as you get your infrastructure correctly setup.
  • Minimal Ubuntu Pro: lean images backed by enterprise-grade security: If you run compute instances on AWS, you likely default to Ubuntu. At some point, if you intend to keep your instances secure by default, using these images would be a good iddea.
