About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Komodor Sets New Standard for Automating Kubernetes Drift Management

By: via Business Wire

New full-cycle capabilities detect, investigate, and remediate configuration drift across Kubernetes cluster fleets; ensuring consistency, reliability and security at scale

Komodor, the company that automates Kubernetes operations, health, performance, and cost management, today announced a pioneering new approach to full-cycle drift management for Kubernetes. These new capabilities automate the detection, investigation, and remediation of configuration drift—the gradual divergence of Kubernetes clusters from their intended state—helping organizations enforce consistency across large-scale, multi-cluster environments.

The addition of comprehensive drift management to the Komodor platform ensures that Kubernetes workloads remain aligned with their desired state, preventing service disruptions, security vulnerabilities, and performance degradation caused by misconfigurations, manual changes to standards, or failed updates. The new functionality is designed to help DevOps and platform engineering teams automate drift detection, pinpoint root causes, and restore baseline configurations before they impact operations—eliminating hours of manual troubleshooting.

According to Gartner®: “Because many cloud-native technologies utilize containers and Kubernetes, cluster fleet management is an important technical consideration for organizations seeking to sustain or accelerate growth in digital products.”1

Komodor will demonstrate its new drift management capabilities next week at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 booth N330.

Configuration Drift Challenges

Managing enterprise Kubernetes estates at scale is like steering a fleet of ships—small deviations in course can lead to major issues over time. Kubernetes drift can stem from:

  • Misconfigured deployments causing memory limits or CPU throttling
  • Outdated container images running in production due to incomplete rollouts
  • Untracked manual changes overriding Infrastructure as Code (IaC) standards
  • Diverging Helm chart versions creating inconsistencies between clusters

When undetected, drift can result in unexpected failures, inefficient resource utilization, and compliance gaps. Meanwhile, identifying, troubleshooting the cause, and manually fixing drift in heterogeneous multicloud/hybrid environments and at the edge is both complex and time consuming.

Full-Cycle Drift Management

The Komodor platform now provides an automated end-to-end solution for detecting, investigating, and remediating drift. Key capabilities include:

  • Automated Drift Detection: Instantly flags deviations from expected configurations across Kubernetes clusters, ensuring early risk mitigation.
  • Root Cause Identification: Rapidly isolates the exact source of drift—whether it’s a Helm upgrade inconsistency, a manually patched Deployment, or an outdated ConfigMap.
  • Side-by-Side Configuration Comparison: Enables teams to visually compare versions and resource allocations across Helm charts and GitOps-managed configurations.
  • Automated Remediation: Enforces GitOps best practices by syncing clusters back to their desired state, preventing drift from impacting availability and security.
  • Intuitive User Interface: Provides a clear and actionable view of configuration changes, making troubleshooting faster and easier.

“Configuration drift is one of the most pervasive and difficult to solve problems for Kubernetes teams—especially at enterprise scale. Enforcing consistency across multi-cloud and hybrid environments is exceptionally complex, resource-intensive, and a constant uphill battle,” said Itiel Shwartz, Co-Founder & CTO of Komodor. “With our new drift management capabilities, teams can eliminate guesswork, automate remediation, and keep their clusters running smoothly—without firefighting unexpected issues.”

Availability

Komodor’s full-cycle drift management capabilities are available immediately from Komodor and its business partners worldwide. To register for our upcoming webinar Drift Happens!
