Technical deep-dives on GCP, Kubernetes security, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and cloud-native infrastructure. Every article is based on real production engagements — no fluff, just actionable engineering.
A service account key pasted into a GitHub secret never expires and works from anywhere. This guide replaces it with Workload Identity Federation: the trust policy, the workflow change, and the audit checks that prove no keys remain.
Kubernetes has frozen the Ingress API and now points teams at Gateway API. This guide covers the resource model, how a typical Ingress translates into a Gateway plus HTTPRoute, and a staged cutover plan that keeps production traffic flowing.
Compare GKE Autopilot and Standard for production: control, cost model, node management, and when each mode is the better fit for your team.
Scan Terraform before apply: catch exposed buckets, open security groups, and risky IAM in the pull request with policy-as-code gates, then enforce the same rules at the cloud layer.
A practical guide to securing the Kubernetes ingress path: choosing a controller, enforcing TLS and HTTPS redirects, applying network policies in front of services, and adding rate limiting before APIs are exposed to the internet.
A practical OpenTelemetry adoption guide for platform teams: collector architecture on Kubernetes, mapping metrics, logs, and traces to tooling, metadata correlation, and wiring telemetry into SLO-driven alerting.
A practical GKE network design guide for engineering leaders: private cluster control-plane access, VPC-native routing and secondary ranges, Cloud NAT for controlled egress, and layered ingress with network policies for production workloads.
Sharing a Kubernetes cluster across teams is cheap, but unsafe without deliberate isolation. A practical guide to namespace-per-tenant design, RBAC boundaries, resource quotas, network policy, and the Pod Security Standards that make soft multi-tenancy defensible on GKE.
Native Kubernetes rolling updates scale pods but give you no control over blast radius or automatic rollback. A practical Argo Rollouts guide to canary and blue-green strategies, traffic shaping, and metric-driven analysis for safe progressive delivery.
Most cloud migrations fail because every workload gets forced through the same path. The 6Rs — rehost, replatform, repurchase, refactor, retire, and retain — give you a per-workload vocabulary for choosing the cheapest strategy that still meets your goals.
