Kubernetes Announces the End of Ingress NGINX

Kubernetes SIG Network and the Security Response Committee have announced the official end for Ingress NGINX. The component, which for years was among the most used ingress controllers in the Kubernetes ecosystem, will only receive best-effort maintenance until March 2026. After that, no releases, no bugfixes, and no security updates will be provided. Existing installations will continue to work, and all artifacts will remain available – however, without any guarantee for future security or stability.

Runtime Bugs: Threat to Docker Hosts

Containers are the backbone of modern cloud infrastructure. They offer developers and ops teams unmatched agility and efficiency, based on the promise of robust isolation. However, this foundation is regularly tested. The discovery of critical **runtime bugs** that allow attackers to escape a container and gain root access on the host system is a serious warning.

Transatlantic Access to Biometric Data: Disagreement Among EU Member States

The US government has been demanding a comprehensive agreement on access to biometric police data from Europe for several years. The basis is the planned "Enhanced Border Security Partnership" (EBSP), which is intended to apply to all 43 states of the American Visa Waiver Program. Anyone who does not sign a corresponding agreement by the end of 2026 risks losing visa-free entry to the USA.

BSI: Guide to Avoiding Evasion Attacks on LLMs

Large Language Models (LLMs) have become established in many areas from customer support to software development, but they also bring new security risks. A growing and subtle threat is posed by so-called **Evasion Attacks**. In these attacks, adversaries attempt to manipulate the model during operation to provoke undesirable or dangerous behaviors. In the literature, these attacks are often referred to as (indirect) Prompt Injections, Jailbreaks, or Adversarial Attacks.

LLMs as Weapons: A New Era of Cyber Threats

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) like Google Gemini or OpenAI's ChatGPT, has the potential to revolutionize our world. Unfortunately, these powerful tools have not gone unnoticed by cybercriminals. Threat actors have long moved from mere productivity enhancement (e.g., crafting better phishing emails) to the active **weaponization of AI in malware and attack methods**.

Kubernetes is the Operating System of the Sovereign Cloud

Few technologies have fundamentally transformed modern IT as much as Kubernetes. Originally launched as a container orchestration system, it has evolved into one of the central pillars of digital infrastructure in less than a decade. Today, Kubernetes is no longer just a tool for distributing workloads – it is a universal abstraction layer over the cloud itself.

Delos Cloud vs. Stackit Workspace – Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

The discussion around digital sovereignty in Germany and Europe is in full swing. Few other topics are currently being driven as strongly by politics, administration, and business alike. The demand is clear: Europe should become more independent, especially from the major American hyperscalers – namely AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

Docker Swarm is Not Kubernetes for Beginners

When discussing container orchestration today, two terms quickly come up: Docker Swarm and Kubernetes. Both promise to run containers across multiple machines, scale services, and automate deployments. And because Kubernetes has a reputation for being complex, many organizations initially turn to Docker Swarm, hoping to ease into the world of container orchestration with less effort.

Docker Swarm or Kubernetes - Which Causes Less Pain?

Docker Swarm or Kubernetes - Which Causes Less Pain?

In many discussions with IT leaders, sysadmins, and architecture decision-makers, a recurring pattern emerges: The question of "Swarm or Kubernetes" is not only a technological one but also strategic. Which platform offers less operational pain, more scaling potential, and long-term stability? After years of operational experience, ayedo has a clear preference – [Kubernetes](/kubernetes/). However, this doesn't mean Swarm lacks validity. On the contrary, one shouldn't believe that choosing Swarm today as a long-term solution will bypass the Kubernetes learning curve. Eventually, you'll find yourself with Kubernetes, facing the typical "and suddenly" problems that Swarm brings, especially in larger environments.

Digital Independence: ICC Transitions to OpenDesk

The International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague is taking a significant step in response to recent political tensions with the USA: it is ending its collaboration with American technology providers like Microsoft and will now rely on the open-source platform **OpenDesk** developed by the German government. This move marks a turning point in how international institutions handle digital dependency and underscores the strategic importance of technological sovereignty.

Between Ambition and Reality: Is the Launch of the AI Act Delayed?

The European AI Act, the first comprehensive regulation for artificial intelligence worldwide, was originally set to come into full effect by August 2026. However, there are increasing indications that this timeline might be postponed. Industry associations and large tech companies are calling for an extension, while civil society organizations warn of a setback in European digital policy.
