Open source has been a defining part of my career for many years. As an engineer working in the cloud native ecosystem, I have spent the last five years building and contributing to technologies around Kubernetes,...

In case you missed it: OpenTelemetry (OTel) has officially achieved CNCF graduated status! It now stands proudly alongside amazing open source projects such as Kubernetes and Prometheus, to name just a few. It’s been a long journey, and we’re very...

Japanese article follows English one. As we all know, AI is advancing from generative AI to agents, driving growing demand for scalable, efficient infrastructure. Kubernetes and the broader Cloud Native ecosystem are becoming increasingly critical foundations...

A follow-up to our earlier post: “Sustaining OpenTelemetry: Moving from Dependency Management to Stewardship” *** In April 2026, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), the OpenTelemetry (OTel) project, and Bloomberg’s Open Source Program Office came together...

The symptom that made no sense The first time we saw it, we didn’t trust the dashboard. A distributed training job was scheduled and healthy — every pod was running, no crashes, no OOMKills, nothing in...

Kubernetes has become the de facto operating system for AI. In CNCF’s 2025 Annual Cloud Native Survey, 82% of container users now run Kubernetes in production, and 66% of organizations hosting generative AI use it to...

The CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) has voted to accept Confidential Containers as a CNCF incubating project. About Confidential Containers Confidential Containers addresses the need to protect data in use within cloud native environments. While data...

Introduction Running a database on Kubernetes is well understood. Running one that survives a complete regional failure, a corrupted control plane, or a severed network requires a fault-resistant architecture. This post walks through how to build...

Kyverno is a Kubernetes-native policy engine that validates, mutates, and generates resources before workloads reach your cluster, enforcing security and compliance rules as code, without requiring a separate policy language. Enterprise teams running Kyverno policies in...

Platform engineering is evolving Platform engineering has become one of the defining disciplines of the cloud native era. As organizations embraced Kubernetes, microservices, GitOps, and distributed architectures, the complexity of building and operating software grew beyond...

What 1,192 agent conversations taught us about knowledge base search A few months ago we shipped an agent inside our own product. It lives in our web app and lets users ask questions about their deployment,...

A special half-day ArgoCon Japan (1:30pm – 6:30pm) will be held July 28, 2026 in Yokohama, Japan as a colocated event with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon. This is a chance to hear from and meet both end...

When we benchmark an LLM serving setup, the number almost everyone reaches for first is throughput: how many requests per second the system can push through. It is easy to measure, easy to compare, and it...

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon India 2026 brought the cloud native community to Mumbai on June 18-19. For LitmusChaos, this was not just another conference. It was one of our most significant events to date. We walked away...

Running large language model (LLM) workloads in-house is one of several patterns teams adopt alongside managed API services. Managed API services are convenient and well suited to many workloads. Self-hosting is a complementary option that some...

The CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) has voted to accept HAMi as a CNCF incubating project.  About HAMi Modern AI infrastructure teams run into the same problem over and over: expensive GPUs often sit fragmented and...

For application teams, databases should feel like a solved problem. A team needs PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Redis, or another data service, submits a request, receives credentials, and starts building. In practice, the experience is rarely that simple....

The countdown is officially on. In just a few weeks, the cloud-native ecosystem meets in Yokohama for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Japan 2026. Taking place on Tuesday, July 28 from 09:00 – 12:30, KeycloakCon Japan brings together...

When we first started building kagent, we didn’t run every agent in its own Kubernetes Pod, Service, and ServiceAccount. Instead, agents were simply executed inside the kagent runtime. It was the simplest architecture possible: one runtime...

As more organizations move to use OpenTelemetry in production at scale, with multiple Collectors across heterogeneous environments, a new challenge arises: how to remotely manage, configure, and update this agent fleet in a consistent and secure...
