With Organizations, users will receive a single invoice, a detailed spending breakdown per team, and centralized user management. |
Announcing per-sec billing, new Droplet plans, BYOIP, and NAT gateway preview to reduce scaling costs (7 minute read)
DigitalOcean will implement per-second billing for Droplets starting January 1, aiming to reduce costs for short-lived workloads with a 60-second minimum charge. New dedicated Droplet plans are now generally available for a seamless performance upgrade, while the Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) feature is generally available to protect IP reputation. Additionally, the VPC NAT gateway is now in public preview, offering centralized egress and static IPs for enhanced security and simplified management. |
Announcing cost-efficient storage with Network file storage, cold storage, and usage-based backups (5 minute read)
DigitalOcean announced several enhancements to its storage portfolio, including a Network File System (NFS) generally available on October 20, and Spaces cold storage and usage-based backups, which are now available for public preview. The new NFS service is designed for high-performance AI workloads, while Spaces cold storage offers a low-cost solution for infrequently accessed data, and usage-based backups allow for more frequent backups with flexible retention policies. DigitalOcean's Spaces cold storage will cost users $0.007/GiB per month. |

Ansible Service Module: Start, Stop, & Manage Services (18 minute read)
Many organizations still log into each server individually to manage services, which creates bottlenecks and increases risks as infrastructure scales. Ansible's service module enables remote, repeatable, and efficient management of services across Linux and Windows environments, supporting automation of multi-service operations and integration with tools like systemd. |
Fluentd to Fluent Bit: A Migration Guide (8 minute read)
Enterprises seeking higher performance and flexibility in telemetry data processing are increasingly migrating from Fluentd to Fluent Bit, according to a post highlighting the benefits of the CNCF projects. While Fluentd was initially designed for pushing data to big data platforms using Ruby, Fluent Bit, written in C, offers 10 to 40 times greater log processing performance with the same resources, full OpenTelemetry support, and simpler configuration. |

Lighthouse (GitHub Repo)
Lighthouse provides DNS service discovery to Kubernetes clusters connected by Submariner in multi-cluster environments, working with any CNI plugin. |
Kosmos (GitHub Repo)
Kosmos, an open-source, all-in-one distributed cloud-native solution, was created to enable the limitless expansion of Kubernetes. Currently, Kosmos primarily consists of three major modules (ClusterLink, ClusterTree, and Scheduler) and is equipped with kosmosctl, a tool for quick deployment of Kosmos components, adding clusters, and testing network connectivity. |

Meet the new GKE: Extending Autopilot to all qualifying clusters (7 minute read)
GKE Autopilot now extends its fully managed, container-optimized compute platform to all qualified clusters, allowing rapid horizontal and vertical scaling, efficient resource use, and simplified cluster operations. Users can run workloads with standard or specialized hardware, set Autopilot as the default for namespaces, and adopt new automatically provisioned compute classes without disrupting existing deployments. |
LLMs Are the Key to Mutation Testing and Better Compliance (8 minute read)
Meta's Automated Compliance Hardening (ACH) tool combines automated test generation techniques with LLMs to generate mutants for testing and tests that catch those mutants, with privacy engineers accepting 73% of generated tests in trials across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and wearables platforms from October to December 2024. This technology addresses major barriers to mutation testing deployment by using LLMs to generate fewer, more realistic, and highly specific mutants, while also automatically generating unit tests. Meta is proposing the Catching Just-in-Time Test (JiTTest) Challenge to encourage further innovation in this area. |
Intelligent Kubernetes Load Balancing at Databricks (6 minute read)
Databricks has created a client-side load balancing system to improve traffic distribution and reduce tail latencies in its Kubernetes clusters, where the default Kubernetes load balancing falls short for high-throughput gRPC connections. The new system uses a custom service discovery control plane to enable intelligent, up-to-date request routing. The system was chosen over alternative approaches like headless services and Istio due to its lightweight, client-driven model. |
