Securing CI/CD for an open source project: Locking down dependencies
Part two This is the second post in a three-part series on how Cilium hardens its CI/CD pipeline. Part 1 covered access control: who can trigger builds and what code CI is allowed to execute. This…
Dynamic configuration for cloud native Swift services
Modern Swift services increasingly run alongside the same cloud native infrastructure stacks that power much of today’s Kubernetes ecosystem — including ConfigMaps, containerized workloads, declarative deployments, and service lifecycle management. Projects such as Prometheus and OpenTelemetry…
Modern software delivery is no longer constrained by application code — it is constrained by the platform that runs it. This article presents the design of a cloud-native Internal Developer Platform (IDP) built on Kubernetes and…
GPU autoscaling on Kubernetes with KEDA: Building an external scaler
If you run GPU workloads on Kubernetes — vLLM, Triton, training jobs, or the newer agentic inference stacks — you’ve probably hit a familiar problem: the default autoscaling path still reasons about CPU and memory, while…
The milestone for OpenTelemetry reflects widespread production adoption and a stable, vendor-neutral observability standard Key Highlights: MINNEAPOLIS – OBSERVABILITY SUMMIT – May 21, 2026 – The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for…
CNCF Welcomes CVS Health as a Platinum Member To Expand Cloud Native Collaboration
CVS Health strengthens commitment to secure healthcare and modernization efforts further reducing engineering complexity SAN FRANCISCO, California – May 18, 2026 – The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software,…
CNCF Debuts KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule
Second annual Japanese event to spotlight AI, observability, platform engineering and more Key Highlights: YOKOHAMA, Japan, May 13, 2026 – The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, today announced…
Challenges The aim was to reduce dependency on vendor-specific implementations, improve scalability, and ensure data sovereignty and regulatory compliance, while competing with public cloud providers. Technical challenges included building a platform capable of handling 600+ clusters…
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,…
