Netways Managed Kubernetes® v2 and passwordless login for MyNWS
The December newsletter has been written, and so another year has come to an end.
At NWS, we can look back on many developments and news: for example, our membership in the OpenInfra Foundation and CNCF, or new features in the form of object storage, dual stack support, and new documentation.
Of course, we didn’t slow down in December - more on that below. Enjoy reading!
Product News
Netways Managed Kubernetes® v2 is live
After a lot of work behind the scenes, NETWAYS Managed Kubernetes® v2 went live this month.
Nothing will change for you and your existing projects. New projects, on the other hand, will benefit from faster and simplified management and fewer stumbling blocks.
If you are interested in the technical changes in detail, you can take a look at our documentation today—we will provide you with all further details in a comprehensive blog post about the release in the new year.
Passwortloser Login for NWS-ID
Our colleague Gabriel has implemented passwordless login with NWS-ID over the past few weeks. Using the WebAuthn standard, you can now log in with a passkey (e.g., a physical Yubikey or your Apple Keychain) – without any email, passwords, or second factors.

NVIDIA Multi Instance GPUs explained
Are you already using GPUs in your infrastructure? Perhaps even in the NETWAYS Cloud or NETWAYS Managed Kubernetes®? If so, you may have considered how to use this expensive hardware as efficiently as possible.
Our colleague Joshua wrote a blog post on this topic this month, which deals with Nvidia’s Multi-Instance GPUs (MIGs). In his article, you will learn what MIGs are and how to configure and use them efficiently on servers and in Kubernetes.

NWS says thanks
As mentioned at the beginning of this newsletter, we at NWS have created many features, tried new things, and learned a lot. This would not have been possible without you and your feedback.
We would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank you on behalf of the entire team for your trust in NWS and wish you a great start to 2026.
If you have any suggestions, requests, or further feedback, please feel free to contact us at any time!
Reading Corner
As the year draws to a close, we have a few product announcements (or changes) from GitHub and Docker for you, as well as some interesting thoughts on Golang and open source:
- Sebastian has been exploring the relationship between open source and digital sovereignty:
Open Source: A global commons to enable digital sovereignty - Daniel looked at when applications written in Go are portable – and when they are not:
Go is portable, until it isn’t - GitHub has announced changes to the pricing of GitHub Actions as of January 1, 2026:
Pricing Changes for GitHub Actions - Docker has made Docker Hardened Images (DHI) freely available to everyone under the Apache 2.0 license:
A Safer Container Ecosystem with Docker: Free Docker Hardened Images
CLI Quick Win
kubectl auth can-i
Kubernetes’ CLI tool kubectl is already extremely useful for everyday use. However, embedded in the program are additional features that are less well known but all the more powerful.
kubectl auth can-i is one of these features. With this command, you can check globally or at the namespace level what permissions certain identities in your cluster have, whether they are users or service accounts.
This allows you to validate existing and new RBAC configurations and easily find errors and gaps.
You made it to the end of this newsletter!
