A bit more context: we’re building Cozystack for operators who want cloud-like APIs and self-service, but on top of infrastructure they own and control. The stable v1.0 release is the point where we feel the platform is ready to be used not just for experiments, but as a foundation for real production environments.

Sovereignty with AWS? Seriously? Go for CNCF-backed solutions instead—take Cozystack: open-source, no license bait-and-switch (it’s under CNCF, not like Mongo or Terraform), and you get a full cloud stack (VMs, DBs, K8s) on your own or rented servers.

TL;DR: Talos Linux usually needs a pre-baked image, but this post shows how to sidestep that: drop into any rescue Linux, grab Talos’ vmlinuz + initramfs, and kexec straight into a live Talos node- no ISO, no PXE, no cloud-image hoops. Handy hack for “image-locked” hosts and a nice intro to Talos’ API-driven vibe.

Ænix, the company behind the open-source Cozystack platform, today announced a $300,000 seed investment round by Prospective Technologies, a venture capital firm known for backing cutting-edge developer tools and early-stage tech companies, including imgproxy, Qase, and DBeaver.

In March 2024, Ænix contributed Cozystack to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), ensuring its long-term commitment to open-source development under the Linux Foundation’s governance. This move guarantees that organizations worldwide can rely on Cozystack as a vendor-neutral solution for building secure, compliant, and scalable cloud infrastructure.

Hm, I was expecting more business point of view in this article. Right now we are looking information about financial results from relicensing open source. Unfortunately, it is about repositories health. But the article still interesting.

Tried to use Glide a few years ago and couldn't understand why it is needed anyway in real life? It seems like toy for startup-guys, not for real MVP's or something valuable.

I like Google Sheets and Google Docs but this app is so strange. Maybe it's ok for small "homemade" projects for neighbourhoods or local businesses like flower salon or fitness club. But why it is needed for these type of business if we have social media, messengers, WPA and adaptive layouts on websites.

>From the inside, it may feel like you’re spending a lot of time on theory. Product thinkers don’t like that. They want to think about the customer.

Oh, finally somebody said it, thanks to heaven! Template "product mindset" with only data-driven way and unshakeable faith in the sacred custdev turn as a curse for interesting products and caused a problem of mass creation stereotypical products an gray, dull, soulless startups with only marketing packaging. But this inside-way is a really like some lost components of the product magic.

Today, Kubernetes is often seen as a standalone and (loosely speaking) self-sufficient piece of software. Yes, to use it in production, you’ll need to integrate various cloud-native tools like CNI, service meshes, and others. But Kubernetes is still commonly perceived as an application — some even call it the “OS for the cloud.”

In my view, this understanding of Kubernetes is leading the industry into a dead end.

To remain a successful product K8s is needed to be viewed as akin to the Linux Kernel.

It introduces new resources (https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs-cosi-driver/tree/main...) such as BucketClaim, Bucket, and BucketAccess for the declarative provisioning of S3 buckets and access management based on the PVC principle.

This driver will allow to automatically order buckets directly from Kubernetes.

Author had the task of updating an outdated FreeIPA in a large enterprise. This FreeIPA instance was installed in an LXC container on CentOS 7 and had been non-functional for several months. Author was handed a backup of the LXC container for Proxmox, and so the work began.

etcd-await-election enables leader election across multiple nodes using the distributed storage system etcd.

This project conceptually continues the idea of k8s-await-election, ensuring the exclusive execution of a user-defined process only after elections have been held. Unlike its predecessor, it does not require Kubernetes and operates directly with etcd.

etcd-operator is a project aimed at simplifying the deployment and management of the etcd clusters within a Kubernetes environment. It simplifies operations such as deployment, scaling, and disaster recovery through Kubernetes custom resources, enabling easy configuration and management via YAML files.

The etcd-operator is designed for developers and operators looking for a robust solution to handle etcd clusters as part of their Kubernetes applications, offering reliability and ease of use for dynamic, distributed systems.
