Microcks becomes a CNCF incubating project
The CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) has voted to accept Microcks as a CNCF incubating project. About Microcks Modern software teams build applications as collections of interconnected APIs and microservices, and with that architecture comes a…
The tools are ready. So why are most cloud native teams still running three observability stacks?
I’ve spent enough time in and around cloud native infrastructure to know that we’re reasonably good at standardizing the theory. OpenTelemetry for instrumentation, Prometheus for metrics, Jaeger and Tempo for distributed tracing, Fluentd or Loki for…
Auto-diagnosing Kubernetes alerts with HolmesGPT and CNCF tools
What a two-person SRE team learned building an AI investigation pipeline. Spoiler: the runbooks mattered more than the model. Why we built this At STCLab, our SRE team supports multiple Amazon EKS clusters running high-traffic production…
How To Measure the ROI of Developer Tools
There’s been a growing emphasis in the cloud native community on investing in tools that improve developer experience. Platform engineering, accompanied with the rise of projects like Backstage, is all about making developers more productive by…
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam highlighted the evolution of cloud native practices, particularly in platform engineering, and the growing focus on inclusion and accessibility within the community. This year’s conference emphasized that technical success…
Challenges The organization faced vendor lock‑in and rising costs from multi‑tool sprawl and uncontrolled telemetry ingestion/retention. Hybrid visibility was limited: legacy platforms and Kubernetes estates were observed separately, dashboards proliferated, and alerting was largely reactive, generating…
The platform under the model: How cloud native powers AI engineering in production
AI workloads are increasingly running on Kubernetes in production, but for many teams, the path from a working model to a reliable system remains unclear. The cloud native ecosystem – its projects, patterns, and community –…

Cloud native agentic standards
An application, composed of one or more containers as dictated by system architecture, that operates either independently or as part of a distributed collaboration—interacting with at least one other entity (container) or achieving quorum-based consensus. It…
