AI's False Efficiency Curve: How To Save And Protect Your Margins

Sep 16, 2025 By Keith MacKenzie In CloudZero
The popular narrative around AI economics is changing. At one time, Moore’s Law conditioned us to expect that smarter, faster computing would steadily get cheaper.

K3s Vs. K8s: Which Kubernetes Is Right For You?

Sep 10, 2025 By CloudZero In CloudZero
Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source, portable, and scalable container orchestration platform. With K8s, you can reliably manage distributed systems for your applications, enabling declarative configuration and automatic deployment. Yet, K8s can be resource-intensive and costly, with a rather steep learning curve. But in 2019, a lighter, faster, and potentially more cost-effective alternative appeared: K3s. Still, K3s is not a magic wand that works for all Kubernetes deployments.
