The Cloud Native Technology Community, part of the CNBPA Cloud Native Technology Practice Alliance, focuses on evangelizing cutting‑edge cloud‑native technologies and practical implementations. It shares in‑depth content, case studies, and event/meetup information on containers, Kubernetes, DevOps, Service Mesh, and other cloud‑native tech, along with updates from the CNBPA alliance.
This article compares Kong, Gloo, and Higress on their AI‑related extensions—covering tech stacks, logging, proxy normalization, API‑key handling, caching, request/response rewriting, and RAG support—to help developers choose the most suitable gateway for emerging LLM workloads.
This article analyzes the emerging AI Gateway market, compares major products such as Kong, Gloo, Higress, Portkey, and OneAPI, and provides a detailed technical review of Cloudflare AI Gateway’s architecture, capabilities, advantages, limitations, and practical usage for LLM integration.
This article explains how to use the nsenter tool to enter a container's network namespace for packet capture and other host‑level debugging, provides scripts for logging into Kubernetes nodes, shows a DaemonSet deployment for persistent access, and compares nsenter with the newer kubectl debug temporary container approach.
Kubernetes 1.31 adds an alpha‑stage ‘distribute-cpus-across-cores’ option to the CPUManager static policy, allowing CPUs to be spread across physical cores for better cache locality, reduced contention, and improved performance in multi‑core and performance‑sensitive workloads.
This article explains how to produce Lua‑level flame graphs for OpenResty by leveraging SystemTap’s lj‑lua‑stacks tool, demonstrates the underlying data structures and call‑stack extraction, and explores a possible eBPF‑based rewrite for safer, kernel‑level tracing.
This article reviews a technical sharing session that explains the characteristics, advantages and drawbacks of Overlay and Underlay networking, discusses hybrid network challenges and Multus modes, and presents Kube‑OVN’s solution for seamless integration of both network types in Kubernetes environments.
This article provides an in‑depth, side‑by‑side analysis of Jenkins and GitLab CI/CD, covering their histories, core features, community support, pros and cons, and practical guidance to help DevOps teams choose the most suitable continuous integration and delivery platform for their projects.
This guide explains how to deploy the open‑source LLM serving tool Ollama and the Open‑WebUI front‑end on a Kubernetes cluster using Helm charts, covering GPU configuration, persistent storage, service exposure, and model selection for large language models.
This article discusses essential Kubernetes monitoring topics, including cost tracking, tool selection, observability frameworks, responsibility allocation, baseline establishment, namespace best practices, the importance of monitoring, backup solutions, and a comparison of Datadog versus Splunk for metrics.
This article examines how AI‑generated code is reshaping continuous integration and delivery, outlines the specific challenges of adapting CI pipelines for AI assistance, and provides practical best‑practice recommendations for teams seeking to improve efficiency, quality, and security in DevOps workflows.
