Running your own PaaS and infrastructure on machines you own
Volcano's Headlamp Plugin Kills the vcctl Guesswork: A Practical Walkthrough for Gang-Scheduling AI-Agent Batch Jobs on a Cluster API Fleet
A production case study put GPU idle time at 38 percent from partial gang-scheduling failures alone. Here's how Volcano's gang scheduling and queue fairness fix that, what the new Headlamp plugin actually shows instead of vcctl output, and whether it's worth running over hand-rolled priority classes on a Cluster API fleet.
WebMCP Lets a Web Page Register Its Own AI Tools. Does a Deploy Dashboard Need One?
Chrome's new WebMCP API lets a web page register its own AI-callable tools, but a deploy dashboard already has a REST/GraphQL API and an MCP server. Here's the actual capability delta, and why it's not worth building yet.
Zerops Says Its Pricing Is 'Just Hardware.' The Real Bill Runs 2.6x Raw Hetzner
Zerops prices itself as pure hardware, no plans, no seat fees. Here's what the actual 2026 rate card charges for a real three-service app, and why the bill still runs 2.6x the cost of the identical specs on raw Hetzner hardware.
A2A Turns One and Hits v1.0: What a Standard Agent-to-Agent Handshake Actually Buys a Deploy-From-Chat Pipeline
A2A hit v1.0 and 150+ organizations in its first year under the Linux Foundation. Here's a worked example of what its signed Agent Cards and task-approval states actually change for a deploy pipeline where one agent requests a rollback and another approves it — and whether a self-hosted PaaS's MCP server needs to speak it yet.
Your Agent's Shell and Your Tenant's Container Cannot Share a Blast Radius
A concrete node-pool, network-policy, and runtime-class architecture for keeping an AI agent's shell isolated from the tenant container it's deploying and operating.
AgentBox Puts a Bare Hetzner VM on the Same Feature Table as E2B and Daytona
AgentBox, a 247-star MIT CLI, already lists a bare Hetzner box next to E2B and Daytona on its provider table. A teardown of its checkpoint and credential-isolation mechanisms — and what a Cluster-API fleet should borrow versus build on kubernetes-sigs/agent-sandbox instead.
Anubis Crosses 20,000 Stars: What Self-Hosting Your Own AI-Scraper Defense Actually Costs
Anubis's proof-of-work challenge crossed 20,000 GitHub stars fighting AI scrapers — here's what it actually costs in compute versus what its JavaScript requirement costs real visitors, and whether a self-hosted PaaS should bundle it.
Beam's Beta9 Is the Only Self-Hostable E2B Alternative Left Standing
E2B and Daytona's sandbox pricing landed on the exact same number in 2026. Then Daytona announced it's going closed-source. A concrete look at what's left of the self-hostable AI-agent sandbox category, and why Beam's open-source Beta9 engine is the one still standing.
Cilium's eBPF Egress Gateway: The Stable Outbound IP Without the $0.135/GB NAT Tax
AWS charges $0.135/GB for a stable outbound IP through a NAT gateway. Cilium's eBPF-based Egress Gateway does the same job as a Kubernetes CRD, and on an owned Hetzner fleet it costs nothing beyond the node you already run.
