Egress network quality of service on Red Hat OpenShift (opens on the source site)
Red Hat ·
In this article, we explore what network quality of service (QoS) means, preview an upcoming native capability that's addressing it declaratively, and then step through a practical solution you can deploy today using the Linux traffic control (tc) command. We'll set up a full reproducer lab, run it, and look at real test results that demonstrate production traffic maintaining throughput while background traffic is deprioritised under contention.

Building a Centralized Alerting Framework for Data Quality Monitoring and Incident Management (opens on the source site)
Before We Knew BetterAs our data platform grew, so did the number of pipelines, scheduled tasks, and data quality checks running every day.While Snowflake provided a reliable platform for storing and processing data, operational monitoring was fragmented across multiple systems. Data quality failures were often discovered only after downstream reports showed inconsistencies. Pipeline issues sometimes required engineers to manually inspect logs, query tables, and trace execution paths before identifying the root cause.The challenge wasn’t detecting failures — we already had mechanisms to…
