The 5-Minute GPU Audit: A Checklist for Instantly Spotting Waste
May 22, 2026
Most organizations waste 95% of their GPU spend without knowing it. Run this five minute audit to find the leaks and fix them before the next invoice.
Your Platform Engineering Team Is Understaffed
May 20, 2026
The fix to platform team understaffing isn't hiring more — it's building on infrastructure where monitoring, security, and upgrades come built in.
May 15, 2026
Upstream contribution costs real engineering time. It also compounds over time in ways that internal fixes never do. What fifteen years of contributing to OpenStack, Kubernetes, and Ceph actually looks like.
May 14, 2026
A technical deep-dive into how Navos manages zero-downtime Kubernetes cluster upgrades — the sequencing, primitives, and operational process behind every upgrade.
May 13, 2026
The cloud first era is over. AI, regulation, and cost pressure are driving a shift to control first. Learn what changed and how open infrastructure fits.
May 8, 2026
Atmosphere isn't the right fit for every workload, and we're candidly sharing when it isn't. A guide to the genuine non-fits, and the four reasons teams incorrectly rule themselves out.
May 7, 2026
AI is driving emissions up and GPU utilization down. Learn why sustainability is an infrastructure problem and how OpenStack and Kubernetes solve it.
May 6, 2026
Training and inference have fundamentally different infrastructure needs. Learn what your Kubernetes platform must handle for GPU scheduling, storage, networking, and autoscaling across the full MLOps lifecycle.
