1. "Standardizing App Delivery with Flux and Generic Helm Charts" by Stefan Prodan, ControlPlane.
In this guide we will explore how Flux can be used to standardize the lifecycle management of applications by leveraging the Generic Helm Chart pattern. The big promise of this pattern is that it should reduce the cognitive load on developers, as they only need to focus on the service-specific configuration, while the Generic Helm Chart shields them from the complexity of the Kubernetes API.
2. "The 100 Million Pod Mesh" by John Howard, Solo.io.
In this test, we deploy 100 million pods across 2,000 clusters, proving it can handle extreme scale with minimal resources, near-instant updates, and no manual tuning, resulting in effortless scalability and cost efficiency for enterprises.
3. "The AI Model Showdown – LLaMA 3.3-70B vs. Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2 vs. DeepSeek-R1/V3" by Itiel Shwartz, Komodor.
We tested DeepSeek’s models head-to-head against industry leaders in solving real-world Kubernetes challenges. The results were nothing short of fascinating and quite revealing, particularly regarding DeepSeek’s current capabilities in production environments.
4. "Simplifying Ingress Resource on AWS EKS: A Guide to AWS Load Balancer Controller" by Kenny Ang.
In this article, we will explore the AWS LBC and understand how it works (and doesn’t). To achieve this, I will walk you through installing the AWS LBC on an EKS cluster and observe the behavior after creating an ingress resource.
5. "Managing Secrets at Scale: Why We Chose SOPS for Terraform and Kubernetes Secrets" by Teodor J. Podobnik.
From SSH keys and Kubernetes Secrets to GitHub tokens and API credentials, keeping these secrets secure was vital to our product’s security and compliance. So we looked into several solutions like HashiCorp Vault, SealedSecrets and GCP Secret Manager but none fully met our needs.
6. "EKS vs. GKE Networking" by Jason Umiker.
I find that some of the biggest differences between EKS and GKE (as well as the underlying AWS and GCP) are in their differing approaches to networking. So, this is at the heart of any true comparison of the two services.
