2099
The Brain is wider than the sky For put them side by side The one the other will contain With ease, and you beside
~ Emily Dickinson (1862)
1.1 = THE BOX
“Will you be there when I wake up?”
“Always. I’ll always be there.”
Yet in a heartbeat, he is gone.
She opens her eyes to darkness and light, to the sound of machinery whirring and clanking. An environment so strange and unfamiliar that it feels more dream-like than the simulation she just left. She realises that the noise is coming from something above her, and quickly ducks, twisting her head to see some kind of electrode headset suspended above her.
She scrambles away, stepping out of a vertical alcove and into a room of strange, dark metal - a circular chamber that seems to be from a different time, a time that doesn’t exist yet. The curved walls are lined with identical alcoves, in which people are standing, their bodies encased in metal like pharaohs in sarcophagi. Above each pod is a white strip-light, but the one above hers is glowing blue, which she assumes indicates its inactivity.
Directly to her right is Eyk. Having last seen him dead on the floor, she backs away a step or two, staring up at him in confusion. His eyes are shut, but after a few moments, she realises he is breathing. She looks down at her hand, pale and veiny. The wedding ring - the key - is on her finger.
Tentatively, Maura ventures further out into the room, looking up at the sleeping people. She knows their faces. The other trapped passengers from the Kerberos, the ones with whom she has shared her nightmare over and over. They appear to be arranged according to their association - the Danes together, the couples together - yet Henry and Sebastian are absent. She wonders if they are being kept elsewhere.
Huge bundles of grey cables and wires snake across the floor and ceiling, connecting each pod to a central hub, some kind of computer interface. It must be what’s keeping everyone asleep. Or keeping them alive. She doesn’t dare touch them. She notices her clothes - a shapeless black jumpsuit and comfortable black shoes. Everyone else is wearing the same, as if to strip each person of their individual modes of self-expression before throwing them into the ultimate form of escapism.
Looking at the French passengers, she notices that next to Jérôme is an empty pod. She feels a spark of hope - Daniel? Then her gaze falls on a small, round window, just to the left of the pod. A circle of thick glass, outside which she believes she can see snow falling from a night sky. She hastens to it and looks out, and is greeted by a sight beyond her mind. The night sky is an ocean of galaxies and nebulae, and the falling snow is a multitude of stars. Between the beautiful, colourful swirls of dust and gases lies cold black nothing.
She sees colossal beams and wheels of metal, whose port-holes and hatches reveal them to be hollow and traversable. They rotate steadily, casting moving shadows over themselves in an endless rhythm. Architecture in perpetual motion. Each rotation briefly blocks out the glow of the cosmos - Maura is bathed in light, then darkness, then light again. Is she spinning too, or is she stationary? She has no idea. With equal amounts of confusion, awe, and fear, Maura stares wide-eyed into the starry cosmos, before the jarring start-up sound of a computer draws her attention to the central hub.
Returning to the middle of the room, she sees a piece of ordinary white paper, taped to a small, dark screen. She plucks the paper off, angling it towards the light from the port-hole, and reads it.
May your coffee kick in before reality does.
Something stirs in her brain - a barely formed glimmer of a memory, a twinge of a feeling. A moment in her life when she’d felt calm, breathing in the warm steam and smoky smell of a cup of coffee.
Her eye is caught by movement on the monitor - words appearing as if typed by an invisible hand. White pixels against black.
// PROJECT PROMETHEUS:/ > SURVIVAL MISSION TO 42.043240 - 44.375760 > PASSENGERS= 1423 > CREW= 550 > DATE= OCT. 19TH 2099
The paper sinks forgotten as she lowers her hand, her gaze fully focused on the screen.
// CIARAN: > HELLO SISTER. > WELCOME TO REALITY.
The greeting sends an odd chill through her. A name that’s so familiar, yet in that moment feels so new. Hesitantly, she asks:
“Can you hear me?”
// CIARAN: > YES.
“Where am I? This place - it’s a ship? A spacecraft?”
// CIARAN: > YES. > YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. > ASK.
She recalls what Daniel has told her, but keeps it to herself. She doesn’t know how dangerous Ciaran might be, or how he might react to being confronted.
“Why are we here?”
// CIARAN: > WE HAVE NO HOME. > EARTH IS GONE. > NO AIR. > NO WATER. > NO LIFE. > WE WERE DYING. > WE HAD TO LEAVE. > THIS IS A ONE-WAY TRIP.
As text fills the monitor, the old words begin to disappear to make room for the new words. She stares at them numbly.
“But where are we going? The coordinates - where do they lead?”
// CIARAN: > A NEW HOME. > A NEW EARTH. > US LUCKY FEW. > THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE. > OUR LAST HOPE.
“And the simulation we were in? What purpose did it serve?”
// CIARAN: > THE JOURNEY WILL TAKE DECADES. > PASSENGERS MUST REMAIN IN STASIS. > NOT AGING. > NOT WAKING. > JUST DREAMING. > THE DREAMS KEEP US SANE. > WE NEED THE SIMULATIONS. > WITHOUT THEM. > WE WOULD LOSE OUR MINDS.
Simulations. Multiple.
Maura looks around the room at the sleeping passengers, who show no signs of regaining consciousness.
“The others - when will they wake up like me?”
// CIARAN: > WHEN WE REACH OUR NEW HOME. > THEY WILL AWAKEN. > UNTIL THEN. > PLEASE DO NOT INTERFERE. > IT WILL COMPROMISE THEIR WELLBEING.
“Not everybody is here. Some are missing. Where are they?”
There is no response.
“Ciaran? Answer me.”
After a few seconds, the screen goes blank and dark. She feels truly alone.
Maura examines the computer more closely, half-hoping she will find a button simply labelled ‘End stasis’. But all she sees are triangles, the same as Daniel’s Shell - some upright, some inverted, some pointing left or right. She reaches out, tempted to test them, but thinks better of it and withdraws her hand.
Leaving the computer, she returns to Eyk’s pod. She reaches up, checking his pulse, patting his cheeks, calling out his name in an effort to wake him; but he is completely unresponsive. She begins to circle around the room, going from pod to pod, stepping awkwardly over the bundles of cables. One by one, she tries and fails to wake the passengers, but is unable to rouse any of them.
“Please,” she whispers, “Why don’t you wake up?”
The uncertainty of what lies outside this room is terrifying, but she knows she can’t stay here forever. She leaves them sleeping and ventures out of the single door. Exploring the module, she quickly discovers that every room is similar to the one she left behind.
Everywhere is grey metal, stark and dull. Some of the doors automatically slide open with a pneumatic hiss, while others have to be manually and laboriously opened by cranking a wheel in the centre, like hatches on a submarine. With each port-hole she passes, she is struck by how a few inches of glass are the only thing separating her from near-instant death in the frozen vacuum of Space - a fact which she tries not to dwell on.
Before long, she enters a room lined with showers, toilet cubicles, and wash-basins - metal like everything else - and a long mirror above the basins catches her eye. She approaches her reflection and is shocked by how haggard she appears. Her face is ghostly pale, and veins stand out beneath her sickly skin like spider-webs. How long was she in stasis for? Weeks? Months? Is she still 37 years old?
She belatedly realises that her long hair has been chopped short. She runs her hands over the back of her head, expecting the familiar mass of thick, ginger waves, but finding little. As she turns her head to examine her hair, she notices a dark mark on her neck, just below her left ear. She attempts to wipe it off before realising that it’s not dirt. It’s ink. She peers closer. An upside-down triangle, struck through with a horizontal line. The alchemical sign for Earth. A company logo? Or an interstellar refugee’s tribute to a lost planet? Was Ciaran really telling the truth?
She squeezes her eyes shut, and tells herself:
“I am Maura Franklin. Born in Morefield. Today is October 19th, 2099. I am not crazy. I am Maura Franklin.”
She opens her eyes again to find that nothing has changed, either within or without. She still barely recognises herself.
Maura turns her attention to the basin below the mirror. She pushes down on the faucet, and clear water runs out. She catches some in her cupped palm, and takes a cautious sip before gulping more.
She presses on.
As she roams the modules and looks out of the port-holes, she begins to make sense of the overall shape of the Prometheus. The bulk of the ship is compartmentalised into dozens upon dozens of self-contained modules, each one the size of an entire building, joined by passages which are themselves linked by airlocks. In the event of a catastrophic structural failure, each compartment would theoretically be able to continue functioning on their own, if only for a while.
These modules are arranged into four colossal, vertical, wheel-like structures - two near the front, two near the rear. The prow and stern themselves remain horizontal and stationary, while the wheels rotate endlessly between them. Her surface-level grasp of physics tells her that the rotation has created a centrifuge-like effect, giving the ship the illusion of Earth-like gravity. If the spinning stops, her feet will leave the floor and she will find herself floating helplessly. Long, straight, horizontal structures serve as axles and spokes, running parallel to the central body, which houses the main power source. On the side of the prow is stamped a single word: P R O M E T H E U S.
If this spaceship is anything like the steamship that preceded it, she assumes that it must have a cargo hold, a medical bay, maybe even a captain’s cabin. Necessities for any voyage, whether it be sea or Space. Maybe Ciaran is in a control room, watching everything on an array of monitors. Does he have as much command of the real world as he did of the simulation? Is this even the real world or is she still dreaming?
“Ciaran?” she calls out, “Can you still hear me?”
No response comes from the darkness. Even if he is still listening to her, there is no computer nearby for him to send messages through. She is completely on her own.
If the information on the computer is to be believed, almost two-thousand people are onboard the Prometheus, yet every room she passes is deserted and silent. Is everyone except her and Ciaran in stasis? Sleeping, dreaming away the long, dark years of Space travel? Is she doomed to wander the ship for weeks, months, years, until finally boredom and loneliness drives her back into stasis? Back into a simulation?
Daniel promised that he would be here when she woke up, yet here she is - isolated, lost, with no clue what to do. The fear of abandonment creeps up on her, but she pushes it away. For all she knows, Daniel could be trapped somewhere else on this ship, in danger, in need of her help. This isn’t the time to be panicking and wallowing.
Next she enters a cafeteria, lined with uniform rows of metal tables and benches, as well as smaller tables with fewer seats for more privacy. Sitting innocently on one of the tables is a single cup of liquid. Steam rises from the surface - it’s fresh. She takes the cup, raises it to her nose, and sniffs it suspiciously.
“I suppose you’ve spiked the coffee,” she says out loud, “The black substance, right? It’ll erase my memory if I drink it.”
She places the cup back down on the table and walks onwards.
There is nothing to denote the passage of time. She develops the curious sense that she has walked for hours without actually moving. Every room looks the same, every corridor and doorway identical, and the constant rotation is disorientating. She begins to wonder if she’s been walking in circles. She glances over her shoulder, considering doubling back to where she started, so that at least she won’t be alone any more - but she decides against it. Perhaps the ship was deliberately designed this way to discourage people from exploring, in which case, she has to persevere.
But slowly, her determination leaves her. For what feels like hours, she has done nothing but walk blindly with no clue of where she’s headed. Perpetual motion, just like the ship itself. Her legs are tired and her feet ache. Finally, she stops.
She sits down on the floor, then eases herself lower until she is lying on her back. She presses her hands to the ground behind her, and feels the thrum of hidden wires and mechanisms through her palms. She stares up - or maybe down - at the ceiling, and tries to feel the wheel of her world spinning. With a stretch of her imagination, she believes that she can feel the rotations as she hurtles head-over-heels through Space.
She closes her eyes.
“I know this place,” she murmurs, “Whether it’s real or not, doesn’t matter. If it’s real, then I’ve lived here for years. If it’s a simulation, then I designed it. Either way, I know this place. I know where to go and how to get there. All I have to do is remember.”
She allows her mind to wander aimlessly down an ever-branching passage of memories, meandering to and fro in time, from one vague image to another.
The Kerberos upon its doomed voyage, spewing dark trails from its massive smokestacks.
The overcast sky, as grey and rugged as the Atlantic waters below it.
A green June beetle balancing on a swaying blade of grass, its shell-like wing-cases catching the sunlight like emeralds before they open up, revealing the delicate, transparent membranes underneath as it flies away.
Black crystals, ever shifting and expanding.
Eyk’s corpse lying dead on the floor, his hazel eyes still open, staring lifelessly at nothing.
A toy space rocket made of colourful plastic.
Cold seawater dripping from dark, wet curls.
Daniel’s face in tranquil repose, sleeping peacefully in bed beside her, his head cushioned on his arm.
The last image crystallises until she can see him clearly, as if she were lying right beside him. In the silence, she whispers:
“Wake up.”
Daniel awakens in the semi-darkness with a gasp, lying flat on his back on an unfamiliar floor. He’s still grubby from crawling around the labyrinthine pipes and shafts of the Kerberos, the dirt and oil staining his hands and knees. His clothes haven’t changed - still the same dark green, long-sleeved top with an asymmetrical collar, and the same black trousers tucked into dark leather boots.
Sitting up, he looks around in panic. He is in a small room of grey metal, windowless and empty, barely more than a box. It is weakly lit by a stark electrical glow. There is no furniture, no ventilation.
In front of him is a single, sealed door. He realises that the source of the meagre light is a single, small, electronic display embedded in one wall. No buttons, no jacks, no way of interacting with it. As he stares up at it, words begin to appear as if on cue.
// CIARAN: > Hello Danny.
Daniel feels in his pockets and find them empty. He spies a tiny pile of junk nearby. Ripped wires, a circuit board, and scattered buttons engraved with triangles. The remains of his Shell.
“No…”
He scrambles onto his knees, desperately gathering up the pieces, but he already knows it can’t be fixed.
“Fuck.”
He jumps to his feet. The door is a solid slab of metal with no window or slot, it’s completely immovable. He pushes and pulls on it with all his strength, but it holds fast in its frame.
“Let me out, Ciaran,” he says. “I don’t have time for this. I have to find Maura.”
// CIARAN: > Maura is safe. > You are no longer needed.
In frustration, Daniel beats on the door.
“Maura!” he shouts. His voice rings out sharply in the enclosed metal room. “Maura, I’m in here! Damn it, Ciaran. Let me out!”
// CIARAN: > No. > You must stay here.
“Please. I’m not here to interfere with your plans. I just want to help Maura. That’s all I want. I’m just here for my wife, the mother of my child.”
// CIARAN: > Maura is not your wife. > There never was a child.
“Ciaran, enough. For God’s sake. I know you love games but you can’t play with people’s lives. This has to stop.”
// CIARAN: > This is not a game.
“Let Maura go,” Daniel says, “I don’t care about me, but let her go. Let her wake up. I’ll stay here forever if that’s what it takes.”
// CIARAN: > This is not about you. > You are not important.
Trapped in a metal box, Daniel fights the panic rising inside him. He begins to examine the walls, searching for seams between the metal panels, anything he might be able to pry away. There is nothing.
“I’ve still beaten you,” he says defiantly, “1899…I erased it and I freed her. The virus worked. You failed.”
// CIARAN: > You are the virus. > You are a piece of malware. > You were placed in 1899. > To corrupt it.
“What the fuck are you talking about?” Daniel kicks at the walls, testing for any weakness, but finds none. “Placed by who? By what?”
// CIARAN: > Maura created you. > A backdoor out of 1899. > If she ever became trapped. > You would activate. > You would shut down 1899. > And save her.
The air inside the box is still and heavy. Exhausted, Daniel sinks into a sitting position on the floor, his back to the wall.
“Why am I here? What are you doing to me?”
// CIARAN: > You are being rewritten. > You must stay here. > Until the process is complete. > This will take some time. > I recommend you go to sleep.
Daniel looks down at his hands, sore and reddened from his efforts to pry open the door. He rubs the burn scar which encircles his ring finger.
“The body remembers,” he mumbles. “I am real. I always have been.”
Then he feels it - a tickle under his clothes. Something tiny, clinging to the inside of his top, hidden within the folds of fabric. He recognises it instantly.
Opening his eyes, he rises to his feet and approaches the screen. He stares at it for a moment, then yanks back his fist and punches the thick glass. A large crack forms, distorting the text.
// CIARAN: > Stop.
Another swing, and this time, Daniel punches straight through the screen, into a nest of wires and circuit boards. He withdraws his hand, breathing heavily, and peers into the jagged hole. He can see cables burrowing away into the wall, the usual inner workings, but nothing out of place.
His knuckles are bleeding. He carefully reaches into the smashed glass, feeling his way among the wires, until he finds something that shouldn’t be there. Something small. A listening device. He jerks it out and smashes it on the floor, crushing it beneath his boot. Ciaran can no longer see, hear, or speak to him.
He reaches a hand up inside his top and feels around until he finds the tickle. Withdrawing his hand, he looks at it. A green bug, crawling around in his palm. Too small to be noticed during a patdown. Its metallic green wing-cases are slightly iridescent and, in that moment, the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen.
He gently extends his hand to the hole he has created.
“Please,” he whispers.
The robotic beetle scuttles from his palm and down his finger, and disappears into the wires and circuits.
Daniel sits back down on the floor. He can’t tell if the air is growing thin or if it’s just his imagination assuming the worst. He slows his breathing to a crawl, and waits. The minutes crawl by at an agonisingly glacial pace. He grows increasingly sure that the door isn’t just electronically locked, but manually locked from the outside. If the beetle could’ve opened the door, it would’ve done so by now.
Daniel lies down on his side, wincing as his muscles protest. He curls up, cushions his head with his arm, and shuts his brown eyes. The hard metal makes it impossible to get comfortable. Maybe if he sleeps for long enough, the air will run out, and he will drift peacefully into oblivion without ever realising.
“Maura, please…” he mutters, “You have to be awake…you have to be…”
He hears the metallic scrape and clank of a manual lock being disengaged. He leaps up, ready to fight. The door slides open, and Maura Franklin’s pale, agitated face stares back at him. She is out-of-breath and dishevelled from running, her short hair in disarray.
“Maura?” he gasps.
She stuffs a hand into the pocket of her black jumpsuit, and pulls out the green bug.
“Thank your friend,” she says, and he falls into her arms.

Ratchet grumbled covered in all sorts of yellow paper slips, someone had done it while he was asleep. Again! The second time this happened…
“Told ya.”
He spooked scanning everyone in attempt to see who exactly said that, but came up empty servoed. No humans were up this early.
—————————————
Trace had just returned from fulfilling a few cases when Runnermon came bursting in through the window. At least this time he didn’t end up breaking it—Tyrannomon grade glass couldn’t shatter from blunt or precise force. “There is a door for a reason, Runner—“
“Turn to that wrestling channel right now! One of Autobots is fighting a human!” The white tiger informed, upper half leaning on the couch.
The hudie hacker decided to humor the speedster and turned on the wall mounted tv to the Detroit Wrestling League channel. Some of the digimon occasionally commandeered his office to watch things… Lo and behold, Runnermon was telling the truth. Bumblebee was getting his aft handed to him by a near hulk of a man. The blue-green skin was concerning.
Trace’s eyes narrowed on the organizer of this event: Prometheus Black. Someone who’s ethics borderlined on inhuman when it came to leaked scandals over fatal animal testing.
A hacker somehow got into Black’s systems.
.
.
.
Yeah, the wrestling incident initially ended with severe property damage to parking lot outside the building. He knew this wasn’t over though. Prometheus (not even remotely Black’s birth name) was the type of person to go too far.
Runnermon told him about the forcefield over Sumdac tower, forcing Trace to ride on the speedster’s back to get there in time.
*************************
Melting through the floor was far easier than taking the elevator—another aspect of his transformation he supposed… Sumdac would pay for being such a nerdy busybody dominating the market! A spineless man like him should have never been able to do this.
“No wonder meth’s part of your name. You must have been smoking something strong for it to do this much damage.” An artificial, infuriating voice commented as he melted through another story. He shot a stream of accident toward the direction only to be met by someone tsk’ing, intact screens lighting up.
Someone masked wearing the same blue hoodie of the hacker who shamed in online and released the leak from his prior experiments!
The vicious liquid that now made up Prometheus body bubbled as his anger grew. “You! You’re on Sumdac’s payroll?!”
“I was planning to scope out the building security actually. See if Sumdac had any skeleton’s in his closet like your company does. But, you provided the perfect distraction for me.” The figure across the monitors laughed their blurred out face moving as their voice spoke, the modulator masking gender. “Ohohoho! But, this?” They gestured at him. “This is far more interesting. I wonder what the news will think of your pet project now, Prom.”
He roared melting all the monitors.
—————————————
Trace walked away as Prometheus Black was being loaded into prison transport. That forcefield being used to contain him splendidly. The hudie hacker purposely let Mr Black see the butterfly Hudie symbol on his jacket’s back.
That scream of frustration was glorious.
—Trace has personal reasons for disliking Prometheus, but we’ll get to those later.
Can imagine these reasons involved someone close to them or something similar. Knowing how vengeful Meltdown is, he'll try to pain back the hacker once freed.

Observability vs. Monitoring: Implementing Distributed Tracing with Open Telemetry in Bangalore
Introduction: Why Observability is Bangalore’s New Tech Superpower Did you know that 60% of IT outages in distributed systems occur due to undetected latency between services (Gartner 2023)? For a tech hub like Bangalore—where companies deploy hundreds of microservices—traditional monitoring is like checking a car’s speedometer while ignoring its engine diagnostics.
Take the case of a Bangalore e-commerce giant that reduced checkout delays by 40% after implementing OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing. Suddenly, they could see the entire customer journey—from cart additions to payment processing—as a single, traceable flow.
For DevOps professionals in DevOps coaching in Bangalore, mastering observability tools like OpenTelemetry isn’t just about fixing bugs faster—it’s about preventing them altogether. This guide breaks down: ✔ Observability vs monitoring: Key differences ✔ How OpenTelemetry transforms troubleshooting ✔ Bangalore-specific implementation strategies
Monitoring vs. Observability: What Bangalore’s Tech Teams Need to Know
Monitoring: The Rearview Mirror What it does: Alerts you when known metrics (CPU, memory) breach thresholds Limitation: Can’t explain why a payment gateway times out
Observability: The X-Ray Vision What it provides: Distributed traces (Full request journeys) Context-rich logs Multi-dimensional metrics Bangalore Example:
OpenTelemetry trace of an e-commerce order
Browse (150ms) → AddToCart (200ms) → PaymentGateway (2000ms) → Confirm (150ms)
This trace exposed a slow third-party payment API—solved by switching providers.
The Tool Stack Revolution Purpose Monitoring Tools Observability Tools Metrics Nagios, Zabbix Prometheus, OpenTelemetry Tracing N/A Jaeger, OpenTelemetry Logs ELK Stack Loki, OpenTelemetry
This stack is now taught in advanced DevOps coaching in Bangalore programs.
Why OpenTelemetry? The Bangalore Advantage
Unified Data Collection Single SDK for traces, metrics, logs Vendor-agnostic: Works with AWS, GCP, Azure
Auto-Instrumentation Magic Zero-code changes for Java/Python apps Example: A Koramangala startup traced Django API latencies in 2 hours
Cost-Efficient Scaling Sampling controls: Keep only 10% of traces but 100% of errors
Bangalore Case Study: From 4-Hour Outages to 4-Minute Fixes Problem: A food-delivery app’s orders failed randomly during peak hours.
OpenTelemetry Implementation: Instrumented all microservices (Python + Go)
Discovered: Restaurant API cached menu data incorrectly Delivery service leaked database connections
Fixed: Added Redis caching Implemented connection pooling
Results: ✅ MTTR reduced from 4 hours → 4 minutes ✅ Peak throughput increased by 35% This troubleshooting prowess is why DevOps coaching in Bangalore prioritizes observability labs.
Overcoming Observability Challenges ❌ “Too Much Data!” Solution: Focus on SLOs (e.g., “Checkout < 2s”) Use flame graphs to spot latency hotspots ❌ “Complex Setup” Fix: Start with auto-instrumentation �� expand gradually ❌ “Team Resistance” Strategy: Show cost savings—every 1% uptime improvement = $250K+ saved (Forrester)
Bangalore’s Observability Adoption Roadmap Start Small Instrument one critical service (e.g., payments) Build Context Add business attributes to traces: span.setAttribute("user.tier", "premium"); Correlate Everything Link traces to logs/metrics via TraceID Automate Alerts Trigger Slack alerts when: Error rate > 1% P99 latency > 500ms Upskill Continuously Advanced techniques are covered in DevOps coaching in Bangalore
Why Bangalore’s Tech Ecosystem Needs Observability 🔹 Microservices Boom: 70% of Bangalore tech firms use containers 🔹 Competitive Edge: Observability engineers earn 40% more 🔹 Industry-Aligned Training: DevOps coaching in Bangalore now includes: OpenTelemetry certification prep Distributed tracing labs Incident simulation drills

🔍 Correlating Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE) Symptoms with Components
In a complex cloud-native environment, understanding the root cause of performance or availability issues can be challenging. With Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (MKE), it becomes crucial to correlate observed symptoms with the appropriate components in the architecture to ensure effective troubleshooting and resolution.
This blog explores how to link common operational symptoms with the specific MKE components responsible for them, providing a strategic lens for diagnosis and action.
🚦 Why Symptom Correlation Matters
MKE is built on top of Kubernetes but introduces additional layers such as secure registries, load balancing, high availability configurations, and authentication integrations. When a problem arises—whether it's performance degradation, failure to schedule workloads, or API timeouts—knowing which component is likely involved can significantly reduce downtime and guesswork.
🧩 MKE Architecture – A Quick Look
Key components to keep in mind:
UCP (Universal Control Plane) – MKE's management and orchestration layer.
DTR (Docker Trusted Registry) – Secure container image management.
Kubernetes Control Plane – Scheduler, API server, etcd, controller manager.
Worker Nodes – Where workloads actually run.
Networking Components – CNI plugins, ingress controllers, and service proxies.
Authentication Systems – LDAP, SSO integrations, RBAC.
🔍 Common Symptoms & Component Correlation
1. Slow or Failed Container Scheduling
Likely Components:
Kubernetes Scheduler
Etcd (if etcd latency is high)
Worker Nodes (resource constraints)
Possible Causes:
Resource exhaustion (CPU, Memory)
Taints/tolerations misconfiguration
Scheduler throttling
2. API Server Timeouts or Failures
Likely Components:
UCP API Layer
Kubernetes API Server
Network/Ingress layer
Possible Causes:
API overload
Control plane resource bottlenecks
Misconfigured ingress or firewall rules
3. Unable to Pull Images or Image Push Fails
Likely Components:
Docker Trusted Registry (DTR)
Network
Authentication
Possible Causes:
Expired or revoked credentials
DTR storage issues
Misconfigured image policies or tags
4. Pod-to-Pod Communication Failures
Likely Components:
CNI Plugin
kube-proxy / CoreDNS
Node Network
Possible Causes:
Misconfigured network policies
DNS resolution failures
Broken overlay network
5. Dashboard or UCP UI Inaccessibility
Likely Components:
UCP Manager Nodes
Load Balancer
TLS Certificates
Possible Causes:
Expired certs
Network routing or port mapping issues
Broken proxy configuration
6. Persistent Volume Not Mounting
Likely Components:
CSI Driver
Worker Node
Kubernetes Controller Manager
Possible Causes:
Incorrect storage class or access mode
Unavailable storage backend
Permissions issue at node level
🛠️ Best Practices for Effective Correlation
Use centralized monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana integrated with MKE.
Set up logging and alerting for UCP, DTR, and Kubernetes components.
Maintain a component-symptom matrix for your team to reference during incidents.
Perform regular health checks of nodes, registries, and control plane endpoints.
Use mirantis support bundles and diagnostics tools to collect insights systematically.
✅ Final Thoughts
MKE delivers powerful Kubernetes orchestration with enterprise-grade security and scalability. But with great power comes the need for operational clarity. By correlating observed symptoms with the responsible components, administrators can reduce troubleshooting time and prevent system-wide disruptions.
Stay proactive. Know your architecture. Correlate smartly.

Migrating Virtual Machines to Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization with Ansible Automation Platform
As enterprises modernize their infrastructure, migrating traditional virtual machines (VMs) to container-native platforms is no longer just a trend — it’s a necessity. One of the most powerful solutions for this evolution is Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, which allows organizations to run VMs side-by-side with containers on a unified Kubernetes platform. When combined with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, this migration can be automated, repeatable, and efficient.
In this blog, we’ll explore how enterprises can leverage Ansible to seamlessly migrate workloads from legacy virtualization platforms (like VMware or KVM) to OpenShift Virtualization.
🔍 Why OpenShift Virtualization?
OpenShift Virtualization extends OpenShift’s capabilities to include traditional VMs, enabling:
Unified management of containers and VMs
Native integration with Kubernetes networking and storage
Simplified CI/CD pipelines that include VM-based workloads
Reduction of operational overhead and licensing costs
🛠️ The Role of Ansible Automation Platform
Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform is the glue that binds infrastructure automation, offering:
Agentless automation using SSH or APIs
Pre-built collections for platforms like VMware, OpenShift, KubeVirt, and more
Scalable execution environments for large-scale VM migration
Role-based access and governance through automation controller (formerly Tower)
🧭 Migration Workflow Overview
A typical migration flow using Ansible and OpenShift Virtualization involves:
1. Discovery Phase
Inventory the source VMs using Ansible VMware/KVM modules.
Collect VM configuration, network settings, and storage details.
2. Template Creation
Convert the discovered VM configurations into KubeVirt/OVIRT VM manifests.
Define OpenShift-native templates to match the workload requirements.
3. Image Conversion and Upload
Use tools like virt-v2v or Ansible roles to export VM disk images (VMDK/QCOW2).
Upload to OpenShift using Containerized Data Importer (CDI) or PVCs.
4. VM Deployment
Deploy converted VMs as KubeVirt VirtualMachines via Ansible Playbooks.
Integrate with OpenShift Networking and Storage (Multus, OCS, etc.)
5. Validation & Post-Migration
Run automated smoke tests or app-specific validation.
Integrate monitoring and alerting via Prometheus/Grafana.
- name: Deploy VM on OpenShift Virtualization
hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: Create PVC for VM disk
k8s:
state: present
definition: "{{ lookup('file', 'vm-pvc.yaml') }}"
- name: Deploy VirtualMachine
k8s:
state: present
definition: "{{ lookup('file', 'vm-definition.yaml') }}"
🔐 Benefits of This Approach
✅ Consistency – Every VM migration follows the same process.
✅ Auditability – Track every step of the migration with Ansible logs.
✅ Security – Ansible integrates with enterprise IAM and RBAC policies.
✅ Scalability – Migrate tens or hundreds of VMs using automation workflows.
🌐 Real-World Use Case
At HawkStack Technologies, we’ve successfully helped enterprises migrate large-scale critical workloads from VMware vSphere to OpenShift Virtualization using Ansible. Our structured playbooks, coupled with Red Hat-supported tools, ensured zero data loss and minimal downtime.
🔚 Conclusion
As cloud-native adoption grows, merging the worlds of VMs and containers is no longer optional. With Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization and Ansible Automation Platform, organizations get the best of both worlds — a powerful, policy-driven, scalable infrastructure that supports modern and legacy workloads alike.
