Working with GPUs on Kubernetes and making them observable

GPUs are everywhere powering LLM inference, model training, video processing, and more. Kubernetes is often where these workloads run. But using GPUs in Kubernetes isn’t as simple as using CPUs. You need the right setup. You need efficient scheduling. And most importantly you need visibility. This post walks through how to run GPU workloads on Kubernetes, how to virtualize them efficiently, and how Coroot helps you monitor everything with zero instrumentation or config.

AI in Action with Kunal Kushwaha: 2 Demo Showcase. See What's Possible!

Join Kunal Kushwaha, Field CTO at Civo, for two demos using relaxAI. In the first demo, we'll show you how to deploy your own Large Language Model (LLM) inference engine using Ollama, giving you full control over your AI model. In the second demo, we'll demonstrate how to build custom AI integrations using relaxAI API, making it easy to add AI features to your existing applications. Whether you're an AI developer, MLOps team, or just curious about AI, this video is for you.

Reliable Dedicated Servers as the Foundation of Scalable DevOps Architecture

Imagine launching a product update at peak traffic time. Your development team pushes the changes, expecting everything to run smoothly. But instead of seamless deployment, the infrastructure buckles-delays spike, user complaints pour in, and error logs flood your screen. Sound familiar? In the world of DevOps, where agility and uptime are non-negotiable, the strength of your backend setup determines how fast-and how safely-you can move. At the heart of this digital engine lies a crucial but often underestimated component: the server. More specifically-reliable dedicated servers.

How to Log Into a Docker Container

When your Docker container isn't behaving the way you expect, you need to get inside and see what's going on. Maybe your app is throwing errors, a service won't start, or you just need to check some configuration files. Getting into a running Docker container is simpler than you might think, but there are several ways to do it depending on your situation. This guide shows you exactly how to log into Docker containers, troubleshoot common issues, and debug your applications effectively.

Tracking Down Object Changes in Flyway Migration Files | The Tony and Tonie Show

Ever spent hours digging through a pile of Flyway migration files, trying to figure out when a table, view, or procedure changed, and how? In this episode, Tony and Tonie explore Phil Factor’s time-saving PowerShell solution that scans the files for you in version order and pulls out the relevant DDL changes.

Cloud Workload Management: What It Is And How To Do It

The cloud gave us agility, but it also introduced fragmentation. And in most companies, no one’s fully owning the sprawl. One team deploys a new service in a hurry. Another forgets to shut down a dev environment. Meanwhile, batch jobs run 24/7 on oversized instances. And no one quite knows why your bill is $10K higher this month. The result? A growing source of cost overruns, performance headaches, and operational inefficiencies. This is exactly why cloud workload management is so crucial.

Reimagining the Data Centre: Respect, Resources, and the Path to a Sustainable Digital Future

When most people picture a data centre, they might think of a bland industrial shell—cold, humming, and forgettable. But look closer, and you’ll find something far more profound. A data centre is a heavy, complex, and finely tuned space where an immense volume of information flows, transforms, and creates the digital world we rely on. In many ways, it feels like magic. And yet, so does nature. Both deserve respect.

Deploy Istio at Scale With Rancher

Managing and deploying applications across multiple Kubernetes clusters presents significant challenges, especially as the number of clusters grows. Traditional methods, like manually applying Helm charts or manifests per cluster, become cumbersome, error-prone, and difficult to scale or maintain consistency for Day 2 operations. While Rancher allows managing Helm chart repositories and apps, this is done on a per-cluster basis via the UI.

Community Vigilance, Enterprise Response: Addressing CVE-2024-21626 in Rancher

In backend engineering, many days follow a familiar rhythm: coffee, code reviews, maybe deploying a new feature. But occasionally, the routine is interrupted by a message that signals a different kind of challenge, like a Slack notification from the security team: “Hey, we’ve identified a potential issue. Need to sync up.” This post details one such instance—our journey addressing CVE-2024-21626, a privilege escalation vulnerability reported in Rancher.
