At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Hyderabad 2025, CNCF leads made it clear:cloud-native infraisn’t just supporting AI—it’s becoming its backbone. The conversation’s moved on from“Can Kubernetes run AI?”to“How does it evolve for AI-first everything?”..

AI is breaking open source out of its old habits. Compute-heavy models now demand GPU-first stacks, leaner infrastructure, and fresh rules for how we build and scale. Jonathan Bryce points out: scalability and reliability still matter—but AI’s deployment needs throw the old architecture playbook ou..

Alpine, Flatcar, Fedora CoreOS, Talos, and Ubuntu Core are carving out strong niches as Kubernetes-first base OSes. Each leans into immutability, container-native design, and just enough system overhead to get out of the way. That lean profile isn’t just a flex—it means lower resource drag and a de..

Kubernetes 1.34 comes packed withnetworking upgradesbuilt for scale. Less overhead. Fewer headaches. Easier to run big clusters without sweating packet flows. This triannual release keeps pushing the envelope for both cloud-native setups and the on-prem diehards...

OpenYurt just leveled up—now officially an incubating project under the CNCF. It pushes Kubernetes out past the data center, into the messy edges of the network, without breaking upstream compatibility. No forks, no duct tape. The maintainer roster’s growing too. Folks fromVMware,Microsoft, andInte..

Platform engineering is stepping in where DevOps didn’t quite land. Think fewer duct-taped pipelines, more thoughtful systems. The fix? Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs), usually riding on Kubernetes, built to tame the sprawl. Gartner says 80% of big engineering orgs will run platform teams by 20..

Google Cloud, ByteDance, and Red Hat are wiring AI smarts straight intoKubernetes. Think: faster inference benchmarks, smarter LLM-aware routing, and on-the-fly resource juggling—all built to handle GenAI heat. Their new push,llm-d, bakesvLLMdeep into Kubernetes. That unlocks disaggregated serving ..

Kubernetes v1.34 drops with58 updates, and23 just hit stable. Highlights: Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA), per-Pod resource limits, and secure image pulls using Pod-specific ServiceAccount tokens. Scalability gets a lift from streaming list responses. Security tightens with finer anonymous auth r..
