From data residency to digital sovereignty: Architectural patterns for cloud native platforms
Over the past two years, digital sovereignty has evolved from a policy discussion into a practical platform engineering concern. The EU Data Act has been fully applicable since January 11, 2025. NIS-2 and DORA already shape…
Introducing Verifiable Execution in Dapr 1.18
Bringing attestation, provenance, and tamper-evident execution history to workflows and AI agents For years, the cloud native ecosystem has focused on making distributed systems resilient. Applications recover from failures. Services retry requests. Workflows survive crashes and…
Identity and Access Management Whitepaper
As cloud native architectures become more distributed, dynamic, and automated, identity increasingly becomes the new security perimeter. Traditional approaches to authentication and authorization struggle to keep pace with short-lived workloads, service-to-service communication, and zero-trust requirements. The…
Building a cloud native platform from the ground up with Kairos, k0rdent, and bindy
As we shared in our earlier post on FluxCD, RBC Capital Markets has been on a deliberate journey to modernize our Kubernetes platform. GitOps with FluxCD gave us a solid deployment foundation. But as our platform grew,…
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 –…
Tekton Becomes a CNCF Incubating Project
The CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) has voted to accept Tekton as a CNCF incubating project. What is Tekton? Tekton is a powerful and flexible open source framework for creating continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) systems…
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…
General Availability of Dapr Agents Delivers Production Reliability for Enterprise AI

CNCF Unveils KubeCon + CloudNativeCon India 2026 Schedule
Third annual India event to spotlight AI, observability, platform engineering and more MUMBAI, India, 11 March, 2026 – The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, today announced the conference…
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 Co-located Event Deep Dive: KeycloakCon
As cloud native architectures span more clusters, services, and trust domains, identity and access management have become foundational infrastructure rather than an application-level concern. At the same time, emerging patterns such as multi-cluster platforms, agent-based systems,…
