Those CVEs have been coming fast! Recently we implemented 21 CVE fixes across gateways, certificate tooling, node operating systems, + other components. Our SREs coordinated remediation across affected clusters for its managed Kubernetes clients. bit.ly/3XlpHkP #k8s

Kubernetes rightsizing is more than a cost exercise. CPU and memory requests and limits shape workload placement, cluster capacity, application performance, and compute spend. Read about the data + decisions needed for reliable review. bit.ly/3VsrCmQ #Kubernetes #FinOps

Someone says upgrade. You ask about add-ons, deprecated APIs, testing, and rollback plans. Nobody’s mentioned a timeline yet. We’d ask those questions, too. That’s Fairwinds. We’re The Kubernetes People. Are you one too? hubs.li/Q04CQYtJ0 #Kubernetes

What deserves a Kubernetes page? - User impact or resource constraints may need timely intervention. - Lower-priority findings can wait for review during working hours. The post connects service-health signals to actionable alerts. hubs.li/Q04C50tB0 #K8s #SRE

Customers choose their Kubernetes versions, storage, ingress, and security policies, but your team still gets the call when the app fails. Which combinations have you committed to supporting, and how clearly have you defined those commitments? hubs.li/Q04BjKkW0 #Kubernetes

n8n connects internal systems, processes webhooks, and runs workflow automation. We deployed it on EKS for production use, then migrated from a community Helm chart to n8n’s official chart without losing workflow history. Here's how we did it: hubs.li/Q04ydprV0 #n8n #k8s

Planning AI workloads on EKS? Come meet Fairwinds’ expert SREs at #AWS re:Invent booth #1835. We’d like to hear what you’re building, what’s headed for production, + where your team needs infrastructure support. hubs.li/Q04CJ2Wy0 Book time w/ us: hubs.li/Q04CJ2Ml0

Enterprise EKS takes strict governance, strong security, and ongoing management. CTO Andy Suderman connects our AWS MSP designation to the operational excellence, automation, and cloud native practices behind that work. A milestone for our team! hubs.li/Q04CHZ570 #EKS

Worker nodes have spare CPU and memory. Scheduling is still delayed. Slow API responses or etcd disk writes can affect control-plane operations. What else belongs in the investigation? The post breaks down the monitoring layers. hubs.li/Q04C50jd0 #Kubernetes #SRE

The meeting had an agenda. Then someone mentioned resource requests, and you opened the YAML. You just needed to check one thing. Now you have questions. You might be one of the Kubernetes people - just like us! These habits look familiar? hubs.li/Q04CQYpB0 #Kubernetes

You built, sold, and installed an AI platform. Now it's live, and a cluster change affects the application. Your product team gets the call. Who investigates, and who has access to make the required change? See what to define before go-live: hubs.li/Q04zvpj60 #kubernetes

Kubernetes rightsizing requires both configuration standards and usage analysis. Policies can check for missing requests and limits, while usage data shows whether values reflect workload behavior. Read how these roles work together: bit.ly/4yvdsQy #k8s #PolicyAsCode

Your chart installs in your reference environment, but a customer’s admission policies reject it. What permissions does the app require, and did the customer know before deploying? Setting clear requirements gives you solid starting point. hubs.li/Q04BjKNd0 #Kubernetes

AWS MSP designation, earned! The goal behind our managed services is reliable, secure, cost-efficient cloud operations that free customers to focus on product innovation. Learn more about our technical rigor & customer-first approach. fairwinds.com/news/fairwinds… #AWS #EKS #MSP

Before migrating production n8n on EKS, we tested rollback in non-production, restored a database snapshot, saved secrets to a secondary location, and kept the image version unchanged to avoid a database migration. Here's how we did it: hubs.li/Q04ydprf0 #n8n #kubernetes

What happens when a support case crosses application, platform, + security teams? The person who opened it can’t change the cluster. Who on your team has the Kubernetes depth to explain the issue and identify who needs to act next? hubs.li/Q04BjKn30 #Kubernetes #appsupport

Requests are slowing down. Is the problem in the application or the Kubernetes cluster? Metrics, traces, events, and resource data each provide part of the answer. See how they fit into an investigation, including customer-hosted environments. hubs.li/Q04C50ly0 #K8s

Kubernetes rightsizing recommendations need workload context. Goldilocks uses Vertical Pod Autoscaler recommendations as a starting point, but its default VPAs report recommendations w/o automatically changing Pods. Read how it fits: bit.ly/4z71We3 #k8s #Observability

Meet Fairwinds, the Kubernetes people, at AWS re:Invent booth #1835. We’ll be there to hear how you’re managing the infrastructure running your AI workloads. Where does your team need support? See you in Las Vegas, November 30–December 4! hubs.li/Q04BZhQV0 #AWSreInvent #K8s

For Noonlight, the availability bar is explicit: an AWS availability zone failure can't cause an outage, and a failed video or alarm creation through its APIs is unacceptable. Read how the team approached kOps-to-EKS migration: bit.ly/4zVQjYs #Kubernetes #availability
