Recap of the First Cloud Native Technology Practice Salon in Beijing – Kube‑OVN, Ksplice, Multi‑Cluster Management, Container Storage and CI/CD

On April 20, Lingque Cloud, together with CNCF, CNBPA, and the Jenkins community, hosted the inaugural Cloud Native Technology Practice Salon in Beijing, attracting dozens of developers and technology enthusiasts.

Lingque Cloud’s chief Kubernetes architect Liu Mengxin presented “Kubernetes Networking Practice Based on OVN,” introducing Kube‑OVN, an open‑source Kubernetes networking component built on OVN, available on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license.

Liu explained why a new CNI plugin was needed: existing networking components are fragmented, making troubleshooting difficult; many plugins lack comprehensive feature sets; and traditional network capabilities are missing in container environments.

Kube‑OVN implements five major functions: namespace‑subnet binding, static IP allocation, dynamic QoS, distributed and centralized gateways, and an embedded LoadBalancer, while extending CNI, kube‑proxy, LoadBalancer, NetworkPolicy, and DNS capabilities.

Oracle Linux architect Zhang Guohua then discussed “Hardening the Container Platform with KSplice,” describing Ksplice’s real‑time kernel hot‑patching process, its support for kernel and user‑space patches, and how Oracle Linux provides Docker runtime and Kubernetes services.

360’s technical expert Guo Shaowei shared “Wayne – A Kubernetes Multi‑Cluster Management and Release Platform,” demonstrating a web‑based solution that simplifies multi‑tenant permission management, multi‑cloud support, and visual template editing for Kubernetes objects.

CTO Wang Pengfei of YRCloud introduced “Container Storage Solutions Based on YRCloudFile,” emphasizing the growing need for persistent storage in containerized data centers and presenting a high‑performance distributed file system designed for AI, IoT, edge, HPC, and video surveillance workloads.

DevOps engineer Zhao Xiaojie from Lingque Cloud delivered “The CI/CD Battle in Cloud‑Native,” reviewing the challenges of traditional development lifecycles, the slow pace of product delivery, and the need for better documentation, tutorials, and automated pipelines.

As the Chinese localization leader for the Jenkins community, Zhao highlighted the newly formed CDF Foundation, which will support key open‑source projects such as Jenkins, Jenkins X, Spinnaker, and Tekton, and called for community participation.

The Cloud Native Technology Practice Salon series aims to promote container, Kubernetes, DevOps, and micro‑service architectures as drivers of digital transformation, with the second session scheduled for May.
