ORAS is the de facto tool for working with OCI Artifacts. It provides CLI and client libraries to distribute artifacts across OCI-compliant registries.

A free, open-source, local-first task manager.

Ingress2gateway helps translate Ingress and provider-specific resources (CRDs) to Gateway API resources. Ingress2gateway is managed by the Gateway API SIG-Network subproject.

Sveltos is a Kubernetes add-on controller. It deploys and manages add-ons and applications across many clusters using label-based matching. Sveltos does not compete with GitOps controllers like ArgoCD or Flux. Instead, it extends their capabilities.

A GitOps controller monitors a repository and syncs manifests. In contrast, Sveltos takes these manifests and applies them across the entire fleet. Its configurations are cluster-agnostic; they do not reference a specific cluster. Instead, they target clusters by labels, which means when a new cluster joins the fleet, it requires no configuration changes, only the right labels. One configuration can serve any number of clusters that meet the defined criteria.

A modular Ansible role and playbook that performs automated operating system patching and system maintenance on K3s cluster nodes with zero-downtime semantics.

Kubernetes networking doesn't have to be a black box. This guide breaks it down, starting from the fundamentals of Linux networking and container isolation. We then dive into the complete Kubernetes model, explaining everything from Pod IPs and CNI plugins to Services, NetworkPolicy, and Ingress, providing a clear end-to-end map of how connectivity works in your cluster.

Istio is a foundational piece of our architecture, which makes ongoing maintenance and upgrades a challenge. Despite that, we have upgraded Istio a total of 14 times. This blog post will explore how the Service Mesh team at Airbnb safely upgrades Istio while maintaining high availability.

Kubernetes is powerful, but troubleshooting issues in a live cluster can be painful. In a complex deployment, critical warning signs often hide in thousands of log lines and events. What if we could surface these reliability issues before they take applications down?

The Kubernetes NodeSwap feature, likely to graduate to stable in the upcoming Kubernetes v1.34 release, allows swap usage: a significant shift from the conventional practice of disabling swap for performance predictability. This article focuses exclusively on tuning swap on Linux nodes, diving into the critical Linux kernel parameters that govern swap behavior and how they influence workload performance, swap utilization, and eviction mechanisms.

Are your Kubernetes applications inexplicably slowing down, even when your nodes seem to have plenty of CPU to spare? You might be experiencing CPU throttling. I recently watched an excellent CNCF video by Dave Chiluk, an engineer at Indeed. This article has some of my takeaways from the video.
