The State of #Java on #Kubernetes 2026: Why Defaults are Killing Your #Performance

#Kubernetes 101:
Do not mix your tools. It ends up in a mess.
E.g. running `kubens my-namespace` within `kubie` results in the temporary config file suddenly containing `namespace; !!null my-namespace`. Like whaaat... gotta use `kubie ns` instead.

Cheap Self-Hosted #Kubernetes on #Hetzner Cloud

There's a new article in the #Keycloak blog about federated client authentication, where you rely on an external provider (like a #Kubernetes cluster with service account token, or a generic #SPIFFE

How do you manage your #Kubernetes resource lifecycle?
Let's say you installed a new product, with all the bells and whistles (deployments, service accounts, gateway, network policies, roles and bindings. But you don't need those anymore. How do you dispose of them?
Do you install stuff with a kubectl apply and do you dispose of them by manually calling kubectl delete?

Yes, the script emitted by "kubectl completion zsh" supports resource names!
#kubernetes #zsh #shell

FYI all, portainer is giving away 3 node business licenses. #kubernetes support since the last time I visited their site, so I'm interested in checking how well that interacts with #talos.
Some of my #homelab machines currently just run a few containers in #docker_compose stacks for services my #homeassistant server is using like node red and I've been using #portainer for simple things like checking status or restarting things without having to ssh into those workers. Most of those containers are going to get migrated into my #k8s cluster, so it'll be interesting to see how well it works as a quick web interface.

Ready-to-use virtual clusters

I wrote a post on installing Argo CD in a #homelab #kubernetes cluster.

Relevant code in kubectl doing the completions: #kubernetes #zsh #shell #completion

In the context of a CPanel Softaculous-installed Nextcloud, what could it possibly mean that, regardless how I set the certificate through #CPanel, ak.modusresearch.com returns with the following clearly bogus certificate:
Common Name: #Kubernetes #Ingress Controller Fake Certificate
Organization: #AcmeCo
Not Before: Sat, 28 Feb 2026 15:37:53 GMT ?????
DNS Name: ingress.local
In what sort of twisted Universe would supplying such a thing make sense? Also interesting is the Not Before which was pretty much the moment I requested the page, but gave the same when asked an hour later.

Internally the registered completion function runs kubectl __complete with the same terms, like: `kubectl __complete get ns ku`, which emits a list of terms back to the completion function.
kubectl can be run with higher verbosity (eg -v6) to see the underlying requests being made to the remote server, but they're the normal ones to retrieve a list of resources (eg GET https://10.11.12.13:6443/api/v1/namespaces?limit=500).
