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...
