Performance optimization of etcd in web scale data scenario
By Xingyu Chen, Software Engineer at Alibaba Cloud Abstract etcd is an open source distributed kv storage system that has recently been listed as a sandbox incubation project by CNCF. etcd is widely used in many…
Kubernetes in production: operating etcd with etcdadm
There are three high-level requirements to operating an etcd cluster in production: Each etcd member must be bootstrapped: The etcd binary has to be on the host and the runtime parameters must be defined. The list…
SDxCentral: "Etcd joins CNCF’s growing cache of open source projects"
That list’s newest member was added today as etcd slid under that umbrella as an Incubating project. Etcd is the primary storage location for Kubernetes and needs to be established before Kubernetes can be run on…
Today, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) voted to accept etcd as an incubation-level hosted project from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Seattle. etcd is a distributed key value store that provides a reliable…
Cloud Native Computing Foundation Announces Karmada Graduation
Multi-cluster, multi-cloud Kubernetes orchestration project reaches production maturity as global enterprises scale AI training and inference across hybrid infrastructure Key Highlights SHANGHAI, China – KubeCon + CloudNativeCon + OpenInfra Summit + PyTorch Conference China 2026 –…
Scale before the spike: Predictive autoscaling for GPU workloads on Kubernetes
The 3 AM Call We got paged one Tuesday morning. A critical production service had crashed under traffic—not gradually degraded, but crashed. Hundreds of pending pods. Users were seeing 15–20% error rates. The incident postmortem was…
Cloud Native platform sovereignty through multi-plane architecture
When people talk about cloud sovereignty, the conversation often starts with regions: where a workload runs and where its data is stored. But choosing a region is only part of the story. The architecture of the…
Eleven minutes, zero humans: Building a self-healing Kubernetes upgrade pipeline on Kairos
Once upon a time, upgrading a Kubernetes control plane meant staying awake for it. SSH into every node. Run the upgrade by hand. Watch etcd health the whole time, hoping quorum holds through every reboot. This…
Good apps aren’t born, they’re guided: Building observable policy as code
As parents in tech, we’ve learned that neither children nor applications thrive without clear boundaries. There are no “good” or “bad” kids, just as there are no inherently “good” or “bad” applications, only behaviors shaped by…
Challenge: Power, Land, and a Single-Cluster Requirement As AI models scale, so does demand for GPU clusters — and for power. A single urban data center is nearing its limits on power and land, and this…
