This tutorial shows how to put dev, QA and staging clusters to sleep overnight with KEDA's cron scaler, including the Argo CD gotchas around CRDs, RoleBindings and replica drift.
Michael Pechner
This tutorial shows how to let cert-manager issue Let's Encrypt certificates for services outside the cluster, using DNS-01 validation and AWS Secrets Manager as the delivery path to an OpenVPN server.
Nerav Doshi
This article explains how to design a production-grade MCP server for platform teams, with governance, backend clients, tool definitions and auth as four separate layers, plus the RBAC and deployment work needed before it touches a real cluster.
Roman Glushko
This article explains why Ingress is being replaced by the Gateway API, what the new Gateway, Route and Policy resources actually do, and how to choose a gateway controller before migrating.
Tools and utilities
Freelens Pod File Browser adds a graphical file browser to Freelens, so you can open, edit, upload and download files inside a pod container instead of running kubectl exec over and over.
ctlptl is a lightweight CLI tool for declaratively creating and managing local Kubernetes clusters across Docker Desktop, Kind, Minikube, and K3d.
crd-schema-publisher pulls CRD schemas straight from your own cluster and publishes them as a searchable docs site plus JSON schemas your editor can use to validate manifests.
This repo is a GitOps-driven homelab blueprint where all infrastructure and apps are declaratively managed with tools like Talos, OpenTofu, ArgoCD, Cilium, Longhorn, Authentik, cert-manager, and more.
infra-bench is an open benchmark suite that measures how well AI agents handle real infrastructure tasks, starting with a Kubernetes dataset of easy, medium and hard problems.

Non-deterministic agents pose specific challenges for platform teams in observability, state management, governance, and trust.
Mauricio (Salaboy) Salatino explains why agentic applications behave like distributed multi-agent systems. His test assigned agents to take an order, cook the pizza, deliver it, and charge the customer. One order crossed 15 containers and produced 200 traces.

Learn from production
Nic Cope
This case study explains how Modelplane was built entirely as a Crossplane configuration, with no custom controllers, to turn GPUs spread across clouds into one fleet behind a stable inference API.
Aswin A
This case study shows how a team ran one Kafka cluster stretched across three separate Kubernetes clusters with Strimzi, Submariner and Cilium, and kept it alive when a whole cluster went down.
Ayush Agarwal
This case study shows how a payments company rebuilt deployments around GitOps with Argo CD on Kubernetes, so every production change is a reviewed Git commit and PCI audits stop being guesswork.
Chinedu Mba
This case study shows how to migrate from fragile EC2-based infrastructure to AWS EKS with GitOps using ArgoCD, Jenkins, and SonarQube for a URL shortening platform, achieving 80% faster deployments and self-healing infrastructure.

Build something
Luka Klaric
This tutorial builds a Docker image with a secret, then shows how it still sits in an earlier image layer after you delete it, and pulls it back out with docker history, jq and tar.
Npanchal
This tutorial shows how to chain KEDA cron scaling with Karpenter so non-prod EKS clusters drop to zero nodes at night and on weekends, cutting the compute bill by 65 to 85%.
Harini Anand
This tutorial walks through the llm-d quickstart on Kubernetes, pausing after each step to explain what you just deployed.
hareshv0711
This tutorial shows how to run Azure DevOps agents on AKS so that KEDA spins up a fresh agent pod whenever the pipeline queue grows and removes it when the job is done.
