What Kubectl Debug Doesn’t Tell You: The Silent Evidence Gap
Kubernetes’ API design for ephemeral containers deliberately omits a persistent termination record, so a kubectl debug session’s exit code, duration, and target container disappear once the pod is updated. The `EphemeralContainerStatus` lacks a `lastState` field, unlike regular containers, causing vital...
Gabriele Bartolini: CloudNativePG and Crunchy PGO: An Honest, Opinionated Comparison
The article pits CloudNativePG against Crunchy PGO, two leading open‑source PostgreSQL operators for Kubernetes, and argues that CloudNativePG’s design—embedding high‑availability logic directly in the operator and using minimal images—offers a stronger, more Kubernetes‑native foundation. It contrasts architectural choices, upgrade mechanisms, backup...

Why Pass/Fail CI Pipelines Are Insufficient for Enterprise Release Decisions
Modern CI/CD pipelines give fast feedback, but pass/fail signals are insufficient for enterprise releases. In large, regulated systems, a green pipeline only shows tests ran, not that releasing is safe. Binary outcomes hide risk when failures differ in business impact....
