We decided to move from LVM to Ceph for our container storage because making VMs disposable again just felt like the right thing to do. ๐
This migration allows us to separate compute from storage and finally enable instant volume migration for better performance. โก
Check out why the storage layer shapes everything in our latest engineering deep dive. ๐ ๏ธ

Do you really need half a dozen daemons and endless YAML just to run a few containers?
Chiyang Tan (Nanjing University) built rk8s - a lightweight Kubernetes alternative in Rust - to find out. At Oxidize 2026, he'll walk through its architecture: a state management and scheduling server, and a single binary that handles both CLI and worker runtime.

Will AI kill Kubernetes? ๐คโ
NO.
CNCF ecosystem = $200B+ investment
Security, monitoring, service mesh, tooling โ ALL built around K8s.
Too big. Too established. Too valuable.
AI will RUN ON K8s, not replace it.
Kubernetes is the operating system of the cloud era. Here to stay. ๐๏ธ

Security Tip: Reduce your container attack surface with minimal base images. ๐ก๏ธ
Standard images often include shells, package managers, and utilities that an attacker can use for lateral movement. By using "distroless" images, you include only what is necessary for your application to run. Fewer binaries mean a smaller blast radius and fewer CVEs to manage.

Want to unlock unmatched speed and security for your containerized apps? ๐
Running Kubernetes on dedicated bare-metal servers removes the virtualization overhead and "noisy neighbor" issues found in shared cloud environments. By making the shift, you gain raw performance, complete hardware control, enhanced physical security, and predictable monthly costs for your scaling clusters.

Managing reference data shouldnโt feel like a game of hide and seek across your entire ecosystem ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ ๐ก.
We built Meta-Upsun to centralise our runtime and service data into a single public API because we value consistency and our own sanity ๐ ๏ธ
