Today, One of the easiest ways to do log shipping from a Kubernetes cluster is by using fluent bit. Fluent Bit Fluent Bit is like the little brother of fluentd and is written in C and takes less resources, so it is the best fit for running as a Daemonset in Kubernetes for log shipping pod logs. Fluent bit also enriches the logs it is collecting from pods in kubernetes using a built-in filter called kubernetes which enriches the logs with the following information: ...

Tech News Digest for July 30, 2025 A roundup of today’s top stories, featuring Anthropic’s massive new funding round, the emergence of powerful open-source AI from China, and significant progress in the fields of quantum computing and autonomous systems. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning Anthropic Reportedly Raising $5B at a Staggering $170B Valuation Generative AI company Anthropic, known for its AI assistant Claude, is reportedly in the process of closing a $5 billion funding round that would value the company at $170 billion. This new valuation would place Anthropic ahead of Elon Musk’s xAI, though still behind OpenAI. The round is said to be led by Iconiq Capital, with potential participation from the Qatar Investment Authority and Singapore’s GIC. This funding surge highlights the intense investor interest in the generative AI space and the escalating valuations of its key players. ...

Xanadu and HyperLight Announce Photonic Chip Breakthrough for Quantum Computing Xanadu and HyperLight have achieved a significant milestone in the development of thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic chips, which are critical for scaling photonic quantum computers. Through a joint effort, the companies have demonstrated waveguide losses below 2 dB/m, a new industry benchmark for performance. This advancement results in an electro-optic switch loss of approximately 20 milli-decibels (mdB), one of the lowest values ever reported for this type of component. The breakthrough is crucial for building future generations of fault-tolerant, utility-scale photonic quantum computers. This achievement builds on the technology used in Xanadu’s “Aurora,” the world’s first fiber-networked photonic quantum computer. ...

Kubernetes Introduces Post-Quantum Cryptography Support In a significant move to future-proof cloud-native security, the Kubernetes project has announced support for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). This enhancement integrates a hybrid key exchange mechanism through the Key Management Service (KMS) plugin system, marking a critical first step towards crypto-agility in the face of emerging threats from quantum computers. Quantum computers pose a long-term risk to current encryption standards like RSA and ECC, which are fundamental to securing TLS and X.509-based authentication within Kubernetes. By adopting hybrid key exchange algorithms, Kubernetes can now gradually transition to post-quantum secure schemes, ensuring long-term data protection against “harvest now, decrypt later” attacks without disrupting existing cluster operations. This development aligns with a broader industry trend, as major tech companies like Meta, Google, and Cloudflare are also actively integrating quantum-resistant protocols. ...

Tencent Unveils Open-Source 3D World Generation AI Model At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) in Shanghai, Tencent launched its Hunyuan 3D World Model 1.0. This open-source AI model can generate detailed, interactive 360-degree 3D environments from simple text prompts or single images. The model is designed to be fully compatible with standard 3D graphics and animation workflows, known as “CG pipelines,” simplifying the creation of virtual reality experiences and video games. By making the Hunyuan3D model accessible to global developers, Tencent aims to democratize advanced content creation tools and foster open collaboration. This release positions Tencent as a major competitor in the race to develop foundational AI for immersive content. ...

NVIDIA Releases Llama Nemotron Super v1.5 for Advanced AI Reasoning NVIDIA has launched the Llama Nemotron Super v1.5, a new open-source model that sets a higher standard for reasoning and agentic AI tasks. This model is designed to deliver state-of-the-art accuracy in science, math, and coding while being highly efficient. Notably, it achieves up to three times higher throughput and can run on a single GPU, which lowers computational costs and simplifies deployment for both individual developers and large enterprises. By making this powerful tool openly available, NVIDIA aims to accelerate the development of more capable and reliable AI agents. ...

Recently I’ve joined a project with real time machine learning inference. The project was set to run on Kubernetes 1.12 on AWS while development and training was made on premise, and some were made using Docker. When the application was deployed to production we started to see poor performance and started to investigate. and it was weird, on the developers machines and in docker everything worked faster. After debugging it for a while I understood that the jvm doesn’t see all available cores inside the pod. while searching some solutions I found that when running java 8 with and adding some extra JVM_OPTS along with all the rest of the opts it would solve my issue. So, I’ve added it to the deployment.yaml file and deployed it again. ...

Overview In this post, I am going to describe how to maintain access to Amazon AWS EKS - Kubernetes cluster with only attaching an IAM Role as an instance profile, without configuring access keys on the EC2 instance. The benefit of course is not storing any Amazon IAM credentials on the EC2 instance, having your infrastructure more secure. Use Case: Jenkins CI/CD Pipeline In my use case, I wanted to have my Jenkins CI server have access to EKS cluster for adding continuous delivery using Jenkins declarative pipeline to my continuous integration process. By doing that, I achieved a full CI/CD process for all the microservices that Jenkins handled. ...
