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 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.
Kubernetes 1.30 introduces the recursiveReadOnly mount option, turning previously imperfect read‑only volume mounts into fully recursive read‑only mounts, while explaining compatibility requirements, required component versions, and usage examples with YAML manifests.
This article recounts a two‑year journey of moving from Ansible‑based EC2 deployments to a Kubernetes‑centric platform, detailing motivations, migration strategies, operational challenges, tooling choices, cost considerations, and practical lessons for teams contemplating a similar cloud‑native transformation.
Celebrating ten years since its first GitHub commit, this article chronicles Kubernetes’s origins, key milestones, community growth, recent technical shifts such as the removal of in‑tree cloud providers, and future directions driven by AI workloads and evolving ecosystem initiatives.
With Kubernetes clusters expanding across multiple environments, choosing the right cross‑cluster networking method is crucial; this article compares six approaches—underlay networks, overlay CNI meshes, Submariner, Skupper, KubeSlice, and others—detailing their core principles, advantages, and limitations to help you select the best fit.
CNCF has added a Cloud Native Artificial Intelligence (CNAI) category to its landscape, highlighting the deep integration of AI and cloud‑native technologies and outlining its significance for standards, tooling, and industry collaboration.
This article provides a comprehensive guide to Kubernetes Service networking, covering container network models, intra‑ and inter‑node pod communication, Service‑Pod relationships, Service types (ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer, ExternalName), CoreDNS resolution, kube‑proxy operating modes, source IP preservation strategies, and Ingress handling.
This guide compiles a comprehensive set of kubectl and Docker command snippets for retrieving logs, sorting pods, managing secrets, cleaning up resources, performing port‑forwarding, patching storage classes, and other routine Kubernetes and container operations, helping administrators streamline cluster maintenance tasks.
