Repost from LearnKube news
hanoi-cli analyzes pod distribution across nodes, detects CPU/memory hotspots, generates safe redistribution plans, and simulates node failures — all without touching the cluster.

| 3 |  Jorrick Stempher explains his team's 10-week research project on predictive Kubernetes scaling.
The project involved two parallel research streams: cloud compute optimization for selecting optimal VM configurations, and scaling automation focused on predictive models and node startup times.

| 4 |  Registries fail. Images disappear. Pulls break.
Enix is hosting a free live Kubernetes session on surviving registry failures with kuik and Jérôme Petazzoni!
The session covers how kuik, the open-source kube-image-keeper operator from Enix, helps keep images available when Docker Hub rate limits hit, tags disappear, registries go down, or workloads start failing with ErrImagePull and ImagePullBackOff.

| 5 |  This article explains how building a k3s media server with Claude Code exposed both the speed and the limits of AI-first engineering across GitOps, observability, storage tuning, and Kubernetes debugging.

| 6 | Shyam Jeedigunta, Principal Engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS), shares his approach to building production-ready AI/ML platforms on Kubernetes.
Shyam discusses specific AWS technologies like EKS Auto for GPU and accelerator support (including Trainium and Inferentia), highlighting how teams can balance elastic and static capacity based on workload predictability. He covers performance optimizations, including fast image pulls with Containerd using Seekable OCI and multi-ENI pods that allow AI/ML workloads to leverage multiple network cards for high-bandwidth processing.

| 7 | Sai Vennam, Principal Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS), addresses a critical production challenge: clusters that scale up easily but struggle with efficient scale-down and rebalancing.
Sai positions Karpenter as the primary solution for intelligent node provisioning and cost optimization. He walks through a practical example where peak traffic utilizes three nodes at 80% capacity, but as demand drops, those same workloads spread across three nodes at only 20% utilization each. With Karpenter's bin packing capabilities, these workloads can be consolidated onto a single node at 60% utilization.

| 13 | @miamorecadenza CEO at Techaro shares a pragmatic approach to building Kubernetes homelabs, emphasizing the principle of "plan for today, not tomorrow".
The discussion focuses on the three fundamental building blocks: compute, network, and storage. Xe explains how to build incrementally and know when to stop adding features.

| 14 |  🚀 New on LearnKube: Microservice authentication with Kubernetes Service Accounts.
Service Accounts are usually described as identities used to call the Kubernetes API.
But you can also use them to authenticate requests between services inside the cluster.
The article walks through:
- how an API service can pass its Service Account token to a data store
- how the data store can validate the token with the TokenReview API
- why accepting any valid token is not enough
- how projected Service Account tokens let you bind a token to a specific audience
Thanks to Gulcan for putting together the full walkthrough with diagrams, manifests, Go snippets, TokenReview examples, and projected Service Account tokens.

| 15 | SREs are drowning in logs. The real error is buried under thousands of noise messages — and AI tools are starting to fix that.
Mario Fahlandt sees AI's biggest value in reducing white noise: filtering log floods so engineers can focus on the actual issue instead of sifting through patterns manually. But he draws a clear line — automated AI debugging of clusters is still a step too far. The human component matters.
AI should handle the groundwork. Humans should make the calls.
