Kubernetes & CNCF Awards
Kubernetes & CNCF Awards

I always enjoy participating in KubeCon. This time it was at the RAI center in Amsterdam. I have been to many conferences and the ones that are the best IMHO are the ones that are very community focused. For example DevNexus for Java, GeeCon for Geeks ;), and obviously KubeCon for everything Kubernetes. And obvsiouly making new friends and connections is a great way of learning from all the cool stuff thats going on. Thats probably enough name dropping for a wednesday ;)
We've made the download & install experience streamlined on our website. Haven't taken a look yet? Now you can get started in seconds, whether you're:
🚀 building AI applications with Postgres,
🚀 in need of enterprise Postgres functionality,
🚀 orchestrating PG clusters on Kubernetes, or
🚀 looking for fully managed Postgres DBaaS cloud services

Join our upcoming free webinar to learn about the key open source technologies you can use in your stack for a streamlined developer experience.
Our senior director of engineering Matthew Mols and our solutions engineer Paul Rothrock will discuss "Taking #PostgreSQL on #Kubernetes to new heights with Spock, pgEdge Helm, & #CloudNativePG", both how it works & demo'ing it live.
📌 Register to attend this 4/14 @ 11AM EST: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_G1FtqK8fSe-DF3asizQ0xw

High-risk operations don't need to be chaotic. Our open-source solutions for running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes are designed to minimize disruptions and turn complex database administration into straightforward development workflows. Join Matthew Mols (Senior Director of Engineering) and Paul Rothrock (Solutions Engineer) in a live discussion of the PostgreSQL-licensed pgEdge components that help you deploy and manage new or existing Postgres database clusters at any scale - including in multi-region or multi-cloud deployments - with less risk and more predictability. Specifically, you’ll leave the webinar understanding: - How to set up & start a Postgres cluster as a single node - and how to scale it across regions. - How the different components (Spock, pgEdge Helm, and CloudNativePG) work together to provide a seamless developer experience. - Plus, we’ll walk through a live demo so you can see exactly how it works, and wrap up with a live Q&A. - And so much more! No vendor lock-in, and the option of enterprise support from a team with decades of dedicated PostgreSQL experience if you want it. Register now to secure your spot!
I first came across Project Copacetic (#Copa for short) in @markrussinovich keynotes about Azure where they use it to patch vulns in millions of container images a month, internally and for Azure users and I thought 'doesn't everyone with container images need to do this'?
Turns out, that's exactly what the Copa team (who also worked on tools like #Radius and #Dapr) thought, and when they open sourced it, other tools like Kubescape started to use it; Anubhav Gupta told me why it's so useful for platform teams. @descopeinc built a whole self-patching registry on top of it. Copa isn't perfect but Vadim Bauer told me it might be a useful plugin for updating images in Harbor the way Microsoft does in ACR with Copa and Dalec.
Microsoft still uses it at massive scale: "every build that goes through our engineering system for any team, runs through Copa,” @sozercan told me.
Copa doesn't create patches but as soon as there is a patch for an issue Trivy (or other scanners) find, it can apply it as a patch layer so you don't have to wait for an official image or even an image rebuild; you can use it with GitHub Actions and Dependabot; it does OS patches, distroless and now app runtime patches for Node.js, Python, .NET and soon Go patching too.
One of the frustrating things with open source is you don't always know who's using it: Bank of America and thousands of other companies are using Copa, almost everyone who's heard of it loves is but it still feels like a bit of a hidden secret in the #CNCF sandbox; maybe this will help!
Extra thanks to everyone who talked to me for this piece, since it was either in the run up to or actually at #Kubecon when everyone is extra busy! Also, hit me up if you're on Mastodon and I haven't tagged you here because @ mentions are being weird for me today...

Distributed inference is becoming a standard cloud native workload.
#llmd has joined the #CNCF Sandbox, bringing Kubernetes-native routing, orchestration, and disaggregated serving to AI inference.

#Kubernetes #AI #CloudNative #CNCF
AI at the edge is an infrastructure puzzle. Red Hat is helping solve it by contributing llm-d to the #CNCF, establishing "well-lit paths" for AI-RAN orchestration with SoftBank. 🐧
This is about optimization—making inference a first-class citizen alongside traditional containers.
Proud to see Red Hat continuing our legacy of open-source leadership, from #Kubernetes and #etcd to #KEDA and now #llmd.
