For a long time, I've included last.fm and Open Scrobbler links on each music collection item's detail page in some shape or form because those are pretty straightforward to render, but something I really wanted on this…

• Why it's relevant: fits Dev category
• Summary:
  • A little progressive enhancement as a treat For a long time, I’ve included last.fm and Open Scrobbler links on each music collection item’s detail page in some shape or form because those are pretty straightforward to render, but something I really wanted on this new website was provide more links for different platforms.
  • The more my music collection helps people discover music away from algorithmic recommendations, the better.
  • A good way to do that is to provide as many links as possible to services that people use.

Amazon EKS 1.34 makes the Kubelet Checkpoint API functional, so you can capture a running container's full state (memory, processes, and network connections) without stopping the workload.

• Why it's relevant: fits IT category
• Summary:
  • Forensic container checkpointing on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) When a container in your Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) cluster exhibits suspicious behavior, the runtime evidence is time sensitive.
  • Kubernetes routinely reschedules and replaces workloads, so the moment Kubernetes terminates or evicts a container with unintended access, your runtime state is lost: in-memory credentials, active network connections, injected processes, and ephemeral file system changes.
  • According to the SANS 2024 Incident Response Survey, organizations that can’t preserve volatile evidence during container security events might face investigation delays of hours to days and risk compliance gaps with frameworks like PCI DSS and SOC 2 that require forensic evidence retention.

With Amazon EKS, you can now configure Kubernetes control plane components (the API server, scheduler, and controller manager) directly through EKS APIs.

• Why it's relevant: fits IT category
• Summary:
  • Introducing advanced Kubernetes control plane configuration in Amazon EKS Customers running large Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters want to optimize pod placement strategies for higher resource utilization and lower compute costs.
  • Teams running high-churn batch, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), and artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) workloads want to customize resource lifecycle management settings such as event retention duration to reduce etcd storage pressure.
  • And customers migrating from self-managed Kubernetes want to preserve scheduler settings they have tuned over the years.
