How Netflix’s Container Platform Connects Linux Kernel Panics to Kubernetes PodsBy Kyle AndersonWith a recent effort to reduce customer (engineers, not end users) pain on our container platform Titus, I started investigating “orphaned” pods. There are pods that never got to finish and had to be garbage collected with no real satisfactory final status. Our

1. Introduction: The Importance of AutoscalingIn today’s cloud-native ecosystem, fluctuating workloads and dynamic traffic patterns are the norms. Accommodating such unpredictable behavior requires systems that can adjust in real-time. Autoscaling is a necessity, ensuring optimal resource allocation, curbing excessive costs, and fostering efficient resource use.Autoscaling isn’t just about costs. It plays a pivotal role in

or: How I got my blog onto it with autodeployment via GitHub Actions. The world was once a simple place. Things used to make sense, or at least there weren’t so many layers that it became difficult to tell what the hell is going on. Then complexity happened. This is a tale of how I

A technical deep-dive exploring some of the lessons our engineers have learned performing multiple K8s upgrades.At Runway, we’ve been using Kubernetes to run our production workloads since day one. Over nearly five years, we’ve operated, (re)created, and upgraded our K8s clusters at least a dozen times. Our last upgrade was the hardest, as we had to modernize

With Sveltos, a management cluster is used to manage add-ons in tens of clusters. When managing tens of cluster, multi-tenancy plays an important role. Common forms of multi-tenancy are: share a cluster between multiple teams within an organization, each of whom may operate one or more workloads. These workloads frequently need to communicate with each

Controlling and filtering traffic when containerizing a workload within Kubernetes Pods is just as crucial as a firewall in a more traditional network setup. The difference is that, in this scenario, those capabilities are provided by the Kubernetes NetworkPolicy API.This article will explore Kubernetes NetworkPolicy by creating an example network policy and examining its core
