If you have seen a demo of a no-code agent builder, you know the moment. Someone types one sentence, waits a minute, and there it is: a new agent, running, with tools. It is impressive. For
Join Platform Engineering Day at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026
As organizations accelerate their adoption of AI and cloud native technologies, platform teams are being asked to solve a growing set of challenges. How can developers access new capabilities such as AI safely and efficiently? How
Making the Golden Kubestronaut a little more golden
When I became a Golden Kubestronaut, I wanted to celebrate the achievement in a way that felt lasting. Like most technical achievements, certifications usually live digitally. You receive the badge
Who owns NIS2 and DORA on a Kubernetes platform team
There is a meeting that repeats across a lot of European engineering organizations right now. Someone from legal or risk brings a NIS2 control, a DORA article, or a “can we evidence this” request into the
Don’t give AI agents root. Make them propose the next system state
The uncomfortable question In the past few months, I’ve been hearing different versions of the same question: under what conditions can we safely allow an autonomous system to operate a machine? It comes up when my

The CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) voted to accept Meshery as a CNCF incubating project. Meshery is used by organizations spanning aerospace, telecommunications, networking, and enterprise software as a single cloud native management plane that gives
The 2026-2028 CNCF ambassador cohort
This year we accepted 58 new ambassadors and said goodbye to 48. All ambassadors have given their spare time to the ecosystem in one way or another, whether they are contributing to a CNCF project, preparing
Kubelet watches inodes. Just not until it’s an emergency
A worker node pages with NodeFilesystemFilesFillingUp. It’s on course to run out of inodes. You check the disk first, because that’s what everyone checks first, and it reads 83% used: 103G used, 22G available. Then you
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026: Join the cloud native community at OpenTofu Day
Most of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon assumes the cluster already exists. OpenTofu Day covers everything that has to be provisioned before and around it: cloud accounts, networking, managed services, and the clusters themselves. On November 9, OpenTofu
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026: From user to contributor to maintainer
You do not need “maintainer” in your job title to start following the maintainer journey at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026. You might be an SRE who has spent years operating a CNCF project in
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026: Build your infrastructure engineer journey
Infrastructure engineers sit at one of the busiest intersections in cloud native. Kubernetes clusters need to scale. Networks need to connect them. Storage needs to follow workloads. Platforms need to make infrastructure usable. Security needs to
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026: Build your application developer journey
Cloud native development increasingly means thinking beyond the application itself. How will it be built? How will it be deployed? How much infrastructure should developers need to understand? Where should platforms remove complexity? And what changes
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026: Build your SRE journey
If your day starts with questions about reliability, performance, observability, incidents, scaling, or what is going to break next, there is no shortage of places to spend your time at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026.
Guardrails, not gates: rethinking policy in platform teams
The most popular OPA-based policy tool for Kubernetes is literally called Gatekeeper. Admission controllers block. Policies deny. Kyverno’s enforcement setting is validationFailureAction: Enforce, which at least sounds neutral, but the failure mode it describes is still
ArgoCon North America 2026: What to expect as the Argo community looks toward CD 4.0
Work across the Argo Project is accelerating, with growing adoption, new use cases, and more maintainers contributing across the community. The community is also beginning the visioning process for Argo CD 4.0, making ArgoCon an opportunity
From 40 seconds to under 10: rebuilding incident detection on OpenTelemetry, Apache Kafka, and Apache Flink on Kubernetes
Every SaaS company has the same uncomfortable question after a major incident: who noticed first, the monitoring or the customers? For a long time our honest answer was “it depends”. This post describes how a small
The case for a cloud native agent harness
Coding agents became useful when they stopped being a chat box. Four things changed the shape of the problem: capable tools, a shared repository and filesystem, subagents, and skills that capture what the system learned from

Which hat am I wearing right now?
Neutrality is quietly the hardest part of open source. It gets tricky the moment someone pays your salary — and staying honest about it takes more effort than anyone admits. Here’s something we don’t say out
From attendee badge to speaker badge: My first KubeCon at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon India 2026
There is something surreal about your first KubeCon being one where you walk onto the stage as a speaker. Most people ease into this community by attending a few conferences, lurking in hallway tracks, and working
OpenTelemetry everywhere: Migrating a metrics platform at scale
For most of the last decade our metrics pipeline ran on gostatsd, the open-source StatsD implementation we maintain. It primarily did two jobs: as sidecar on every host and the aggregation tier at the
Running OpenBao on Kubernetes with a CloudNativePG PostgreSQL backend
Managing infrastructure secrets on Kubernetes needs a backend that is self-healing and free of vendor lock-in, and that is exactly what OpenBao (the Linux Foundation’s open-source fork of HashiCorp Vault) and CloudNativePG give you: an entirely
