Build Your Kubernetes Monitoring Foundation with kube-prometheus-stack

When you run Kubernetes at scale, one of the first challenges is understanding what the cluster is actually doing. Workloads shift around, pods restart for normal reasons, and traffic doesn't always follow the patterns you expect. Having clear signals makes day-to-day operations much easier. That's where kube-prometheus-stack helps. It brings Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, and supporting components together as a single package.

Cascading Failures Aren't Inevitable: Lessons from the AWS DNS Outage

AWS outages grab headlines because they affect millions, but the root cause often comes down to something invisible: DNS failures and cascading service dependencies. The complexity of modern cloud systems, combined with the advanced technology powering platforms like AWS, makes these outages particularly challenging to diagnose and resolve. The recent AWS outage proves one thing: you can't prevent every DNS issue, but you can create resilient architectures and prevent a single failure from taking down your entire service if you test for it.

Part 3: Building a Production-Grade Traffic Capture and Replay System

At a previous company, we had over 100 microservices. I’d make what seemed like a simple change to one service and deploy it, only to discover it broke something completely unrelated. A change to the user service would break checkout. An update to notifications would break reporting. We spent more time fixing unexpected bugs than shipping features. The problem was our test scenarios were too simple.

OTel Updates: OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) Hits Alpha

Some parts of a system don’t lend themselves to quick instrumentation changes. You might have a production binary that hasn’t been rebuilt in years, or a stack made of several languages where each team manages telemetry differently. In those situations, getting consistent signals often means touching code you’d rather leave alone or coordinating updates across many services. OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) approaches this from the kernel side.

Using Google Cloud Billing Tools For Cost Control

If you’ve ever opened your Google Cloud bill and felt confused, you’re not alone. Costs in GCP can spike up fast. One project here, a few APIs there, until the total looks nothing like what you expected. That’s because Google Cloud pricing is built for flexibility. You pay for what you use, across dozens of services, each with its own rules, discounts, and data charges. It’s robust, but also easy to lose sight of what’s driving your spend. The good news?
