I recently started getting hands-on with GPU infrastructure. Before running any workloads on the cluster, I wanted to benchmark the network and see what the hardware was actually capable of. The setup was two servers with eight NVIDIA H200s in each, so sixteen GPUs. I’ve spent about twenty years in ordinary IT infrastructure, but I’m […]
A web-based portal for exposing Kubernetes PVC data, gated by SSO
Every platform team eventually hits the same small, annoying problem: some application on Kubernetes keeps its data on a shared volume — label templates for a print server, custom report definitions, a report database — and a human operator needs to get files in or out of it. Not a developer with kubectl, not a CI pipeline. An operator, from […]
Beyond the Dashboard: Why the Future of SRE is Conversational
We’ve all been there: an alert fires at 2:00 AM. In the old days, you’d manually grep logs across half a dozen systems. Today, modern observability tools are already very good at connecting the dots – using automated root cause analysis to tell us which microservice caused a latency spike. But connecting the dots isn’t […]
Installing WSL on Windows (EC2 and VMware VMs)
The way WSL works depends on where Windows is running. In practice, most setups fall into one of these two categories: The installation steps are similar, but the WSL version is different. Installing WSL on Windows running on EC2 Windows on EC2 does not support nested virtualization, so WSL 2 cannot be used. On EC2, […]
What is kro? Simplifying Kubernetes Deployments
What is kro? Kube Resource Orchestrator (kro) is a Kubernetes-native operator designed to simplify the creation and management of complex resource configurations. It allows users to define ResourceGraphDefinitions, which group multiple Kubernetes resources and their relationships into a single unit. Once applied, kro translates these definitions into actual Kubernetes resources and manages them dynamically. […]
Enhancing Resilience in OpenShift 4.17: Exploring the 3+2 Control Plane Architecture for On-Prem Deployments
Introduction On-premises OpenShift deployments, especially on platforms like vSphere, often grapple with maintaining cluster quorum in the face of data center failures. To address this, OpenShift 4.17 introduces the 3+2 control plane architecture, a five-node configuration designed to enhance resilience and simplify deployment in multi-failure-domain environments. Challenges with Traditional Three-Node Control Planes Deploying a three-node […]
Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift & IBM Instana
I often get questions around Red Hat OpenShift, and why we need it. Here is a quick 14 mins video to explain Application deployment models from Traditional deployments to Virtual machines to Containers. Here are the topics we are going to cover in this video. I would really recommend this video, especially to sales team […]
Running virtual machines in OpenShift
This is a quick and interesting session to show how easy is to install a virtual machine on OpenShift. OpenShift allows us to install virtual machines using Operators. We can have vms and containers running in parallel. This is a huge benefit, as some of the legacy applications which cannot be containerised can be deployed […]
Build images, containers using Podman and Red Hat Quay
Use Podman to create images, push and pull images from Red Hat Quay image Repository. Create the container using the pulled image, connect to the container and the application. You can either watch the detailed video or follow the below given text blog. Today we will talk about Podman and Red Hat Quay image Repository. […]
