If you think Kubernetes scaling is just about increasing replicas when CPU spikes…you’re missing the bigger picture. As cloud workloads get heavier and real-time user demand becomes unpredictable, scaling is no longer optional — it’s a survival strategy. The difference between a reliable system and a burning one often comes down to how intelligently your … Read more
If there’s one image that captures the entire Kubernetes ecosystem in a single glance, it’s this wheel. Most people think Kubernetes is a tool.

Introduction — Why run Jenkins on Kubernetes? If you’ve been running Jenkins on a VM or a single server, you know the pain when that server goes down: builds stop, history disappears, and everyone looks at you. Running Jenkins on Kubernetes gives you the flexibility to manage lifecycle, scale agents, and treat Jenkins as another … Read more
Introduction You deploy an app, things look healthy — then an error surface: slow responses, mysterious connection resets, a memory leak. The usual options are ugly: restart the pod and lose state, attach a sidecar after the fact, or reproduce the bug in staging (which might not reproduce). Enter ephemeral containers — a lightweight, on-demand … Read more
🚀 Introduction DevOps has matured from a set of tools to a strategic business function.In 2025, senior DevOps engineers, platform engineers, and architects are expected to design resilient systems, secure pipelines, and enable developer velocity — all while maintaining governance and compliance. High-level DevOps interviews go beyond syntax or command knowledge. They test: This guide … Read more
💡 Introduction When teams talk about migrating from Jenkins to ArgoCD, they often discuss the tools, not the transformation. You’ll find plenty of “how to install” guides — but almost no one writes about what really happens when you shift from pipelines to GitOps. In this blog, I’ll share real migration lessons learned during a … Read more
