And that's it; #KubeConEU is coming to an end. While absolutely exhausting, it was also truly inspiring. I go home with countless new ideas, new friends, and plenty of things to do now, positively. But first: recovery!
Two blogs that contain what I learned and took away:

Red Hat is contributing llm-d to the #CNCF, turning fragmented AI into modular, interoperable microservices. 🐧
The goal? Make AI inference a first-class citizen in the same cloud-native environment as your traditional apps.
I love how Red Hat continues to fuel the #OpenSource ecosystem. From our roots in #Kubernetes and #etcd to newer projects like #KEDA and #CRI-O, we’re committed to building "well-lit paths" for everyone.
Red Hat is contributing llm-d to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) as a Sandbox project to standardize high-performance, distributed AI inference serving within the cloud-native stack. This contribution aims to bridge the capabilities gap between AI experimentation and production by providing a specialized data-plane orchestration layer that maximizes infrastructure efficiency and enables flexible deployment on any choice of hardware.
Final day at #CNCF #KubeCon is here 🚀
If you haven’t stopped by yet, now’s your chance 👇
Swing by booth #780, grab some swag 🎁 and chat with us about
We’re here until 2PM, don’t miss it!
It’s the last day at #KubeCon Europe!
This is the last opportunity to meet with our team today. Come and ask questions about how to optimize your observability stack.
We’re thankful for the incredible interactions at the #VictoriaMetrics booth. #Amsterdam has been amazing!
Let’s continue discussing open source #observability together. 🙌💻 #RootCauseAnalysis #CNCF
Deploying #PostgreSQL in #Kubernetes with our tools simplifies operations, boosts flexibility, and minimizes risk in single or multi-cloud strategies. 🚀
Our active-active setup means every node can accept writes, making databases more resilient and easier to scale without extra complexity.
Fully open source under the PostgreSQL license with no vendor lock-in, giving you the freedom to innovate without restrictions.

"A lot of organizations aren't going to shift away from it -- even though it's got known vulnerabilities that are being exploited -- for the same reason they didn't shut it off two or three years ago, which is that it worked two or three years ago, and it still works now. Replacing it with another technology means all your APIs need to communicate correctly. The CRDs there need to be reliable.
"[Some users] could be told today that something is incredibly insecure, it's likely to be compromised, and ignore that, and say, 'But it still works at the end of the day.' That's a serious problem." ~ Nigel Douglas, head of developer relations at #CNCF member company Cloudsmith and a former contributor to the Falco CNCF project, in an interview this week about the retirement of the #IngressNginx project and its potential impact on users who might remain unaware that the project is no longer receiving community support, including security patches, following its final release March 13.

Day 2 at #CNCF #KubeConEurope 2026 Amsterdam is here 🚀
We’re live and ready at booth #780, come by, say hi, and dive into what’s powering modern #Observability 👇
We’re running demos all day until 5 PM, so whether you’re exploring, troubleshooting, or scaling.
Plus, don’t leave without grabbing some merch 👀
See you there!
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation is putting on a flagship conference that's bringing together the #DevCommunity in #Amsterdam, Netherlands today through the 26th. That's four days of keynotes, breakouts, and a solutions showcase for the #OpenSource and #CloudNative communities.
Will you be attending? So will we! 👋
Stop by our booth (Kiosk 1263) and be sure to enter to win a 16GB RTX 5060TI while you're there 🔥
