Autoscaling Made Easy with Rancher Cluster API

Jul 31, 2025 By Davide Rutigliano In Rancher
Kubernetes has revolutionized application deployment and management. However, manually adjusting cluster sizes to meet fluctuating workloads, without constantly under- or over-provisioning resources, quickly drains platform teams’ time and energy. While traditional cloud provider autoscaling tools are functional, they often fall short when it comes to truly dynamic, Kubernetes-aware scaling, especially in a world with diverse infrastructure.

Bring high-performance observability to secure Kubernetes environments with Datadog's new CSI driver

Jul 30, 2025 By Adel Haj Hassan In Datadog
In Kubernetes environments, applications often communicate with the Datadog Agent to send telemetry data such as custom metrics via DogStatsD or traces through Datadog APM. How this communication takes place depends on the communication mode set on the Datadog Cluster Agent's Admission Controller. With the sockets option, communication takes place through local inter-process communication via Unix domain sockets (UDS), whereas the service and default hostip options rely on network communication.
