Catching up on AKS release notes and found a shiny new preview: cost optimised add-on scaling ✂️⚡️ VPA now trims CoreDNS, Workload Identity, Image Integrity, Retina and more, or lets you set the CPU / memory diet yourself. I took it for a spin, with setup tips and troubleshooting fun! 🎉👇 pixelrobots.co.uk/2025/06/co… #AKS #Azure #Kubernetes #DevOps

Hey AWS EKS friends. Does it have an API endpoint you can call with say a token that gets you all the infrastructure details? I am currently looking at how to add EKS checks into KubeBuddy and need some guidance.

🎉 Say hello to KubeBuddy v0.0.13! 🛠️ Packed with 11 shiny new checks: 🔍 Ingress health monitoring 🔍 Deployment/StatefulSet hiccups 🔍 Missing probes, orphaned Roles/ServiceAccounts 🔍 HPA, PDB, resource quotas, and a bunch more! That’s a total of 35 Kubernetes checks + 34 AKS-specific ones—your cluster’s got nowhere to hide! ⚡ JSON reports now zip out faster with KubeData caching. ✨ HTML-output? Cleaner, sharper, and loaded with details. 🐳 Pondering a Docker container version—would you find that handy? 👇 Dive in and give it a spin: github.com/KubeDeckio/KubeBu… #Kubernetes #DevOps #InfraOps

Love this!
Microsoft has funded @kedaorg with Azure sponsorship to offer Azure Kubernetes Service to run e2e tests on and provide Azure resource to verify autoscaling for. We strongly believe KEDA is unique in the Kubernetes community and are extending our sponsorship until May 1st, 2027!
