A new CPU Manager Static Policy Option called prefer-align-cpus-by-uncorecache was introduced in Kubernetes v1.32 as an alpha feature, and has graduated to beta in Kubernetes v1.34.
This CPU Manager Policy Option is designed to optimize performance for specific workloads running on processors with a…

Historically, configuring the correct cgroup driver has been a pain point for users running new
Kubernetes clusters. On Linux systems, there are two different cgroup drivers:
cgroupfs and systemd. In the past, both the kubelet
and CRI implementation (like CRI-O or containerd) needed to be configured…

In a few days, ESA’s fourth European Service Module will leave the integration halls of Airbus in Bremen, Germany, setting sail across the Atlantic Ocean in the next step of its journey. The module will propel NASA’s Orion spacecraft towards the Moon during Artemis IV, supplying the crew with water,…

LG has revealed a new lineup of gaming monitors just ahead of CES. The UltraGear evo displays offer 5K visuals. Many incorporate on-device AI upscaling, taking some of the burden away from the GPU. 
LG says the tech will let consumers skip out on some card upgrades. This could end up being extremely…
