Hi – my name is Alexis Richardson and I’m the chairman of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation TOC – Technical Oversight Committee. The TOC is an elected board of nine people. Representing the interests of CNCF’s…
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…
Solution Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) SNOW migrated to a multi-region on-premise Kubernetes platform with decoupled External ETCD topology for high availability. The CNCF ecosystem underpins the entire stack: Cilium for CNI, Helm for GitOps-based deployment,…
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…
The Challenge: Fragmented tooling and compliance risk at scale The client’s platform engineering team managed a sprawling cloud-native estate with over 1,000 GitLab projects, hundreds of Kubernetes workloads, Kafka streams, Databricks and Spark jobs, and Aurora…
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 –…
