Turn on an AI coding agent’s telemetry and it throws a wall of text at you. It’s expensive to store and what’s worse, you can’t make sense of it. It’s all OpenTelemetry native, though. So you...

If you’re evaluating AI SRE products, you probably own most of one already. The coding agent your engineers use, whether that’s Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, can already investigate a Kubernetes cluster. What it usually lacks...

Kubernetes has quietly run much of the world’s containerized software on a division of labor between two control loops that rarely had to talk to each other. The scheduler places each pod on a node that...

n8n is easy to try and harder to run under production traffic. A single container with SQLite works great for a quick demo. Production is a different story entirely. You need workers, webhook processors, PostgreSQL, Redis,...

In this blog, I will share my Golden Kubestronaut journey, how I became the first and youngest Golden Kubestronaut from Nepal, what motivated me to pursue this path, and what it actually takes to earn the...

At Observability Summit Europe 2026 in Prague, I presented a keynote titled Carbon as a First-Class Signal: Designing a Standard for OpenTelemetry. The talk explored how Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) could become part of cloud-native observability...

Nirmata created Kyverno and donated it to the CNCF in 2020. Kyverno is now a graduated CNCF project and is widely used for enforcing and automating configuration security and best practices.  However, admission control answers one...

If you have seen a demo of a no-code agent builder, you know the moment. Someone types one sentence, waits a minute, and there it is: a new agent, running, with tools. It is impressive. For...

As organizations accelerate their adoption of AI and cloud native technologies, platform teams are being asked to solve a growing set of challenges. How can developers access new capabilities such as AI safely and efficiently? How...

When I became a Golden Kubestronaut, I wanted to celebrate the achievement in a way that felt lasting. Like most technical achievements, certifications usually live digitally. You receive the  badge, update your profile, and eventually move...

There is a meeting that repeats across a lot of European engineering organizations right now. Someone from legal or risk brings a NIS2 control, a DORA article, or a “can we evidence this” request into the...

The uncomfortable question In the past few months, I’ve been hearing different versions of the same question: under what conditions can we safely allow an autonomous system to operate a machine? It comes up when my...

Mark your calendars. On Monday, November 9, CilliumCon kicks off at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in Salt Lake City. It’s the eighth time the event has run, and this year’s agenda goes straight at the...

BackstageCon takes place all day on Monday, November 9, 2026, the day before KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America opens in Salt Lake City. We’re excited to bring together Backstage adopters, contributors, and maintainers to share how...

Kubernetes on Edge Day returns to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026 on November 9 in Salt Lake City, Utah, bringing together developers and adopters from across the cloud native ecosystem to share experiences and insights...

The CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) voted to accept Meshery as a CNCF incubating project. Meshery is used by organizations spanning aerospace, telecommunications, networking, and enterprise software as a single cloud native management plane that gives...

This year we accepted 58 new ambassadors and said goodbye to 48. All ambassadors have given their spare time to the ecosystem in one way or another, whether they are contributing to a CNCF project, preparing...

A worker node pages with NodeFilesystemFilesFillingUp. It’s on course to run out of inodes. You check the disk first, because that’s what everyone checks first, and it reads 83% used: 103G used, 22G available. Then you...

Most of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon assumes the cluster already exists. OpenTofu Day covers everything that has to be provisioned before and around it: cloud accounts, networking, managed services, and the clusters themselves. On November 9, OpenTofu...

You do not need “maintainer” in your job title to start following the maintainer journey at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026. You might be an SRE who has spent years operating a CNCF project in...
