CAPMOX Is Maturing Fast: What a Real Cluster API Provider for Proxmox Means Beyond Hetzner-Only Node Pools
IONOS's CAPMOX shipped six releases in fifteen months of active development — here's what the changelog actually shows, how it provisions a node, who else is building the same thing, and what a second CAPI provider really costs a Hetzner-only fleet.
The Postgres Backup Tool Anthropic and OpenAI Both Backed in the Same Month
Databasus out-starred pgBackRest, WAL-G, and Barman in 14 months, landed in the official PostgreSQL Software Catalogue, and got backed by both Anthropic and OpenAI's open-source programs in the same month. Here's what it actually is, and whether it belongs next to a Kubernetes-native Postgres fleet.
Dokploy vs. Coolify in 2026: What Happens the Day You Click 'Add Server'
Coolify and Dokploy both added multi-server features in 2026. Neither provisions a machine, heals a dead node, or wires up a load balancer without a human at the keyboard. Here's the feature-by-feature gap against a Cluster API fleet.
One Rack Switch Died in Nuremberg. Here's What a Hetzner Cloud Leaf Fault Actually Costs a Cluster API Fleet
On July 24, 2026, a switch fault in one Nuremberg rack took down Load Balancer, Networks, Cloud Server, and Object Storage together. What that actually costs a running CAPH cluster, why it's not a one-off, and the concrete mitigation CAPH exposes today.
kro Just Landed in CNCF's 'Adopt' Tier Next to Helm — While Still Being Alpha Software
CNCF and SlashData's Q1 2026 Platform Engineering Radar put kro in the 'Adopt' tier alongside Helm and Backstage — a maturity signal for a project still shipping a v1alpha1 API. Here's the actual RGD YAML, what the rating measured, and what building a tenant-facing App CRD on kro's pattern would cost a Cluster API fleet.
Kubernetes' Partitionable GPU Devices (KEP-4815): The Real Cost Math Behind Slicing One GPU Into 7 Schedulable Sandboxes
Kubernetes' Partitionable Devices KEP lets one GPU serve multiple independently-scheduled sandboxes instead of one tenant. Here's the actual cost math on 7-way MIG slicing versus whole-card allocation, and what a Cluster API GPU node needs to expose those slices.
Kubernetes 1.34 Ships KYAML: What a Safer YAML Subset Does (and Doesn't) Fix for a Manifest-Generating PaaS
Kubernetes 1.34 shipped KYAML to kill YAML's Norway-problem bugs, but the KEP is explicit that it's a kubectl output format, not a server-side change. Here's what that actually means for a platform generating Cluster API and tenant manifests programmatically.
Kubernetes SIG Storage's Next Move Isn't Another Snapshot Feature: What Volume Health Monitoring and Mutable PV Affinity Actually Buy a Self-Hosted Fleet
Kubernetes SIG Storage's Volume Health Monitoring and Mutable PV Affinity don't need Hetzner's still-missing CSI snapshot support to matter — but only one of them actually works on a self-hosted fleet today. Here's the verified breakdown of both KEPs, straight from the spec text and the driver source.
Railway vs. Fly.io vs. Owning the Box: The Cost Comparison No PaaS Vendor Will Run For You
Northflank's Railway-vs-Fly.io teardown never asks what the same workload costs on an owned Hetzner box — here's the post-price-hike math, tier by tier, including the one case where per-second billing is supposed to win.
