🥁. We’ve been working on a few things at EverythingDevOps this past months. One of which we call “Demos” — step by step guides on open source tools reviewed and approved by its maintainers to ensure technical accuracy. Our first Demo is Out! —we wrote about @ciliumproject. 1/n.

Are your logs out of control?.Did you know that you could use Linux text-processing commands to debug faster, extract insights from data, and save hours every week?.You can read more about this here:.

Drowning in Kubernetes debugging?.K8sGPT uses AI to scan your cluster and give clear, actionable fixes. This way you’re no longer wasting hours staring at YAML. Learn how to install and use it:.

No etcd backup = no Kubernetes cluster. This guide walks you through why etcd backups matter, how to take them, and how to restore your cluster when things break. Protect your platform.

Your Kubernetes cluster isn’t secure just because you use TLS. Server & client certificates are the backbone of real cluster security. This guide explains how they work, how to manage them, and how to lock down every connection in your cluster.

One missing folder can break your infra. This guide shows how to use the Ansible file module to automate directory creation, permissions, and cleanup, without manual work. A must-read for sysadmins and infra engineers.

Scaling Prometheus for multiple teams? . Don’t drown in YAML and RBAC. This guide shows how to expose Prometheus as a self-service, multi-tenant platform feature using Kratix Promises. Read the complete guide here:.

Storing data on S3?. You could be saving more. Learn how to use S3 Lifecycle Configs to:. • Move old files to Glacier.• Delete temp data.• Cut costs (automatically).

Spinning up a PostgreSQL cluster on DigitalOcean doesn’t have to be manual. This guide shows how to use Pulumi + TypeScript to deploy, manage, and update your DB infrastructure.

This article breaks down what that looks like in practice plus how Kratix helps make it possible.

Pre-built platforms are tempting but they rarely fit your team’s real needs. Composable IDPs give you the flexibility to evolve, integrate the tools you want, and scale with confidence.

Tired of ticket-based @MongoDB provisioning?. With @kratixio + @Port, you can turn @MongoDB into a self-service platform service. In this guide we walk you through how to set it all up, from Promises to Day-2 operations.

What do @kratixio, @crossplane_io, AgroCD, and Port all have in common?. They’re shaping the future of platform engineering and they're all on this list. In this article, we share 25 tools that every modern platform team should know.

Puppet vs Ansible: Which one should you use?.One’s agentless and fast. The other’s built for large-scale enforcement. In this article, we break down both tools in detail, with real-world use cases.

GitOps brought simplicity, but not flexibility. As platforms mature, teams need more than sync loops and CRDs. Imperative workflows offer the logic and control that GitOps can't. Here’s why platform engineers should care: .

This article shows what real AI-native platforms look like:. #PlatformEngineering #DevTools #Kratix #DevOps #CloudNative.

The future of platform engineering isn’t just cloud-native; it’s becoming AI-native. From code suggestions to smart ops, AI is already reshaping how platforms are built and run. But using AI isn’t the same as integrating it.

This is the layer that makes the whole thing work. Read how @kratixio helps: #InternalDeveloperPlatform #PlatformEngineering #DevTools #Kratix #DevOps #CloudNative.

Teams build IDPs with the right tools such as automation, self-service, and best practices. But devs still face delays, unclear steps, and tool-hopping. Why?. Because the platform feels disconnected. What’s missing isn’t more tools. It’s orchestration.

This article also shares real-world examples of how teams can use tools like GitHub Actions, FluxCD, Terraform, and Vault to apply these ideas in practice. If you are working with CI/CD and want to bake security into your process in a practical way, this guide is for you.
