New event will convene observability leaders, developers, and end users to advance open source observability tools and practices SAN FRANCISCO, April 22, 2025 — The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud...

At the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), we celebrate organizations that turn cloud native technologies into real-world impact. AuthZed, a CNCF Silver member, is one such story—a company built from the ground up on open source,...

Kubernetes is exceedingly powerful for orchestrating containerized applications at scale. But without proper monitoring and observability—especially in self-managed infrastructure—it can quickly become a security disaster waiting to happen. This is not due to inherent flaws in...

Running AI inference workloads on Kubernetes has some unique characteristics and challenges, and the Gateway API Inference Extension project aims to solve some of those challenges. I recently wrote about these new capabilities in the kgateway...

Want a hands-on way to explore Kubernetes and ClickHouse®—without spinning up cloud VMs? In this post, we’ll build a home-lab cluster of Raspberry Pi 5 boards that mimics a high-availability setup. Whether you’re a cloud-native developer...

The Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) provides technical leadership to the cloud native community. Strong TOC participation at this year’s KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe in London enabled in-person discussions and strategic planning for CNCF project technical priorities...

Tabitha Sable, a member of the Kubernetes Security Response Committee, told IT Brew that the exploitability of the vulnerability could allow access to clusters and the possibility of valuable information being exposed.

Solving Cloud Native Operation Challenges with AI Agents Oh no! Your application is unreachable, buried under multiple connection hops—how do you pinpoint the broken link? How do you generate an alert or bug report from Prometheus...

Cloud native infrastructure continues to scale, and with it, so does operational overhead. Kubernetes has become the backbone of modern platforms, but as cluster sizes grow past 100 nodes and thousands of workloads, the operational load...

As enterprises run ever-more-complex workloads on Kubernetes, they’re facing a new set of challenges: how to ensure security requirements are met, budgets are deployed efficiently and operational complexity is, well, not as complex. Many are finding...
