<guid>https://blog.intelligencex.org/zombie-containers-in-kubernetes-the-unseen-threat-in-production</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Kubernetes makes scaling and managing applications effortless — but hidden beneath the surface lies a silent danger: Zombie Containers. These are containers that appear terminated but are still consuming resources or, worse, exposing hidden attack surfaces.
In production environments, zombie containers can quietly drain CPU and memory, break observability, and open doors for malicious exploitation. Most teams overlook them because they blend into the noise of cluster activity.
This blog uncovers how zombie containers are created, why traditional monitoring tools often miss them, and why they represent an unseen security and reliability threat. More importantly, it highlights practical steps DevSecOps teams can take to detect, contain, and eliminate them before attackers or system failures take advantage.
If you think your Kubernetes cluster is clean, think again — the undead may already be lurking. ]]></description>

<guid>https://blog.intelligencex.org/aws-graviton-migration-hidden-devsecops-risks-no-one-talks-about</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Migrating to AWS Graviton promises speed, scalability, and massive cost savings—but there’s a side of the story no one talks about. Behind the performance hype lurks a silent security trade-off: toolchain compatibility gaps. When your trusted SAST scanners, DAST agents, and monitoring tools fail to keep up with ARM architecture, entire stages of your DevSecOps pipeline go dark. The result? Blind spots, skipped scans, and a dangerous false sense of security. Attackers don’t care about your migration strategy—they care about the unguarded entry points it leaves behind. This post uncovers the hidden DevSecOps risks of Graviton migration that could turn innovation into exposure if ignored. ]]></description>
