Free 7-Day Platform Engineering Crash Course. One email a day. Terraform, Kubernetes, OPA, GitOps, Backstage, plus a 6-month career roadmap. Hands-on labs included. tekanaid.com/platform-engin… #PlatformEngineering #DevOps

SRE watched payment service get killed every 90s for two days. Liveness probes timing out. CPU pinned processing backlog. K8s restarts pod, drops in-flight work, backlog grows. Probe shared the busy thread pool. Split liveness onto separate lightweight handler. Bleeding stops.

Launching today: TeKanAid Academy Spring Founder Edition. New Premium subscribers get 20% off forever through May 31 with code SPRINGFOUND26. 3 bootcamps 11+ courses 84+ labs 5 cert paths Puzzles + direct support Start here: tekanaid.com/start-here #PlatformEngineering

3 replicas does not mean zone redundancy. K8s will happily pack all 3 pods into one AZ. When that AZ goes down, your service goes down. Fix: topologySpreadConstraints with topology.kubernetes.io/zone + maxSkew: 1. Make zone spread explicit. #Kubernetes #SRE

Manual secret rotation does not scale. This demo shows how Akeyless automates rotation and bidirectional sync across Azure Key Vault, Vault, and MySQL without app changes. youtu.be/AMovIjxSxY4 #DevSecOps

Crossplane can turn a simple DB claim into 13 AWS resources behind the scenes. This episode covers XRDs, compositions, claims, and functions for true self-service infra. youtu.be/2c-M5Us84V8 #Crossplane #Kubernetes

Crossplane manages AWS like Kubernetes. Install providers, apply YAML, build a full VPC stack, then watch drift get auto-reverted by reconciliation. youtu.be/Ss33Svwz_y8 #Crossplane #Kubernetes #AWS

Platform engineering without ticket queues. Crossplane makes infra Kubernetes-native with reconciliation, no state files, and multi-tenant RBAC. youtu.be/rawmBGX7IqI #Crossplane #Kubernetes

Modern PAM isn’t just a vault—secure Kubernetes, AWS, SSH & DB access with JIT permissions, dynamic secrets, and session recording. youtu.be/1S112C_RyCA #PAM #ZeroTrust #CloudSecurity

AI agents don’t need the cloud. They need boundaries and control. Run autonomous AI agents fully inside Kubernetes with kagent. On‑prem and platform‑ready. tekanaid.com/posts/kagent-a… #kubernetes #aiagents #platformengineering

Backstage + GitOps in action. From zero to production in minutes using golden path templates, Argo CD, and Kubernetes. youtu.be/HdAO-Y8a5kI

Episode three is live. Learn how to scale Backstage with SSO, role-based permissions, and Kubernetes for enterprise environments. youtu.be/jDEP8MmnLvk #Backstage #PlatformEngineering #Kubernetes

Golden Path templates in Backstage let platform teams define standards once and scale them automatically. CI/CD, security and catalog registration in minutes, not days. youtu.be/8rEePhLuz4I #Backstage #PlatformEngineering #DevOps

Episode one of a new four-part Backstage series shows how internal developer portals fix onboarding, ownership, and service discovery. youtu.be/HSQZjSp2wAM #Backstage #PlatformEngineering #DevOps
