Managed Kubernetes vs. an In-House Platform Team: What It Really Costs

Running production Kubernetes in-house costs more than the cluster bill. The real cost is the platform team: enough engineers to cover a 24/7 on-call rotation, keep up with three Kubernetes releases a year, and patch CVEs across a dozen add-ons. For most organizations without a dedicated platform team, a managed Kubernetes provider is cheaper.

What AKS, EKS and GKE Don't Manage for You

Azure AKS, AWS EKS and Google GKE are “managed Kubernetes” in a narrow sense: the cloud provider runs the control plane. Most of what keeps a production cluster healthy is still yours. That includes node and add-on upgrades, ingress, certificates, monitoring, backups, security policies and incident response. This split, the shared responsibility model, is what teams moving to Kubernetes most often misunderstand.

Migrating from ingress-nginx to Gateway API: How to Plan It

Gateway API vs. Ingress: What Changes and What Was Missing

Gateway API is the successor to the Kubernetes Ingress API. Ingress put everything in one object, extended with controller-specific annotations. Gateway API splits traffic configuration into separate resources for separate roles: the platform team runs the gateway, and application teams attach their routes to it.

Being Cloud-Native: It’s How, Not Where

In the rapidly evolving tech landscape, the term “cloud-native” often gets associated with running applications exclusively in the public cloud. However, this is a common misconception. Being cloud-native is more about how you build and manage your applications than where they are hosted.
