For years, the Kubernetes Ingress API, and the popular Ingress NGINX controller (ingress-nginx), have been the default way to expose applications running inside a Kubernetes cluster. But the ecosystem is changing: the Kubernetes SIG network has announced the retirement of Ingress NGINX in March 2026. After March 2026 the Ingress NGINX will no longer get […]
For the past few months, Docker has been announcing the implementation of new pull rate limits for the Docker Hub. The most significant change is the 10 pulls-per-hour limit, per IP address, for unauthenticated users that can quickly lead to a “You have reached your pull rate limit” error message. Even if these changes have

Several weeks ago, I was taking part in a meetup about Kubernetes, when one of the attendees made a remark that resonated deeply with me… Hey, Horacio, that Kubernetes thing is rather cool, but what I would have loved to see is a Functions-as-a-Service platform. Most of my apps could be easily done with a

One of the key advantages of usisng Kubernetes is the formidable ecosystem around it. From Rancher to Istio, from Rook to Fission, from gVisor to KubeDB, the Kubernetes ecosystem is rich, vibrant and ever-growing. We are getting to the point where for most deployment needs we can say there is a K8s-based open-source project for

For the last few months, I have been acting as Developer Advocate for the OVH Managed Kubernetes beta, following our beta testers, getting feedback, writing docs and tutorials, and generally helping to make sure the product matches our users’ needs as closely as possible.

Today, we’ll start with one of the most frequent questions I got during the early days of the beta: How do I route external traffic into my Kubernetes service? The question came up a lot as our customers began to explore Kubernetes, and when I tried to answer it, I realised that part of the problem was the sheer number of possible answers, and the concepts needed to understand them.
