Argo Workflows in 2026 — Pipelines on Kubernetes That Actually Work
Practical Argo Workflows: DAG vs steps, parameters, artifacts, retries, when Argo wins over Airflow / Prefect, and operational realities.
Practical Argo Workflows: DAG vs steps, parameters, artifacts, retries, when Argo wins over Airflow / Prefect, and operational realities.
Practical K8s resource sizing: requests and limits, OOMKill and CPU throttling, VPA / Goldilocks for sizing, QoS classes, and avoiding noisy neighbors.
Practical Kubernetes debugging: kubectl tricks, ephemeral containers, port-forward + tcpdump, network debug pods, stern logs, k9s, kubeshark, and the discipline.
Practical Kubernetes cost reduction in 2026. Right-size requests / limits, Karpenter for node management, VPA / HPA, spot pools, and the dashboards that find waste.
Where Kubernetes stands in 2026: eBPF-default networking, Gateway API, sidecarless meshes, KEDA, Argo, and the operational realities you’ll face.
Why eBPF won the cloud-native networking layer in 2026. Cilium architecture, sidecarless service mesh, network policy at L7, mTLS, observability with Hubble + Tetragon + Pixie, and the migration path from Istio.
A grounded look at WebAssembly on Kubernetes in 2026. WASI 0.2’s component model, Spin and wasmCloud, runwasi shims, the workloads where WASM is genuinely better than containers, and the ones where it isn’t.
GitOps mechanics, Argo CD vs Flux, app-of-apps, ApplicationSets, secret management, multi-cluster patterns, drift detection, and the production gotchas — explained without the cargo cult.
What platform engineering is in 2026, what makes a good Internal Developer Platform, the building blocks (Backstage, golden paths, paved roads, Crossplane), and a pragmatic path to introducing one without a 12-person platform team.
A no-fluff Kubernetes intro for app developers — what pods, deployments, services, and ingress really are, and how to ship your app onto a cluster without becoming a cluster operator.
