Is Kubernetes actually HARD? #speedscale #kubernetes #k8s #devops #cloudnative

Thinking about learning Kubernetes in 2026? You’ll need GitOps, kubectl, and CI/CD pipelines... OR you can just use Speedscale. See how a single operator replaces a million dependencies and gives you the traffic insights you actually need to survive production.

Kubernetes is Hard. Here is the "Easy Mode" for 2026

Is Kubernetes actually hard, or are we just using the wrong tools? In 2026, the Kubernetes ecosystem has become a "dependency jungle." Between GitOps, YAML configuration, kubectl mastery, and complex CI/CD pipelines, developers are spending more time managing infrastructure than writing code. In this video, Ken breaks down the "hard parts" of K8s and introduces a more efficient workflow using Speedscale. Learn how to gain instant visibility into your cluster, pull logs without the headache, and turn real-world traffic into actionable load tests.

Recommended Experiments for Production Resilience in Harness Chaos Engineering | Harness Blog

This guide covers battle-tested chaos experiments for Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, and GCP to help you validate production resilience before real failures happen. Start with low blast radius experiments (pod-level) and gradually progress to higher impact scenarios (node/zone failures), always defining clear hypotheses and using probes to measure results. Building reliable distributed systems isn't just about writing good code. It's about understanding how your systems behave when things go wrong.

Guide to Sending Custom Metrics From Your Heroku Application

Heroku makes it easy to deploy and operate applications without managing servers, but understanding how your application behaves internally still requires instrumentation. Platform metrics like CPU usage, memory consumption, and router request/status counts are useful, but they don’t tell you how long your code takes to run, when your app throws errors, or whether users are interacting with key features.

Top 7 Kubernetes Add-ons

The open-source Kubernetes platform is designed to help simplify application deployment through Linux containers. It supports tasks like deploying workloads in the form of pods, clustering nodes, managing container runtimes, and tracking resources. The Kubernetes microservices system has risen in popularity over the last several years as an easy way to support, scale, and manage applications.

How Standardizing Dev Workflows Boosts Velocity, Quality & Joy - with Jason Gates

What if your dev team loved their workflows? Jason Gates from Sandia National Labs joins GitKraken’s VP of Developer Research, Jeremy Castile, to unpack the real-world challenges and powerful benefits of developer workflow standardization. In this candid conversation, Jason shares lessons from helping dozens of teams improve their software delivery — from reducing friction and boosting velocity, to creating joyful, productive developer experiences. They dive into.

A buyer's guide to engineering intelligence platforms in 2026

You're in a planning meeting when someone asks a simple question. How long does it actually take your team to ship a feature? You've got spreadsheets, Git logs, and Jira exports scattered across three tabs, and you still can't give a confident answer. It's a question you should be able to answer instantly, but the data lives in too many places to stitch together on the fly.

AI coding assistants are only as good as the context you give them

AI coding assistants have quickly become part of everyday development. Teams now rely on them to explain unfamiliar code, suggest configuration files, debug errors, and accelerate delivery across the stack. But as these tools move from experimentation into real production workflows, a consistent pattern is emerging: AI breaks down at the platform boundary.

Harness | Docker Artifact Registry | How to Push and Pull Images

This video provides a clear and practical walkthrough of the Harness Artifact Registry, demonstrating how to work with Docker images in a secure and reliable manner. You will see the complete flow of pushing images into the registry and pulling them back for builds, deployments, and platform workflows. The goal is to help developers and platform engineers understand how the registry fits into everyday delivery pipelines.

Optimizing DCI for AI Growth: All Roads Lead to Managed Optical Fiber Networks

The accelerating demand for artificial intelligence and cloud-based applications is fundamentally altering how organizations approach physical infrastructure. As data center construction shifts toward rural geographies in search of affordable power and real estate, the connectivity binding these facilities together has become a critical bottleneck. Network architects and CIOs are currently facing a complex decision matrix regarding Data Center Interconnect (DCI) deployment.
