From reference architectures from organizations like LY, SAP and SNCF highlighting Kubernetes + @OpenStack to growing momentum behind @KataContainers for secure, sandboxed workloads, #OpenInfra had a visible and growing presence across #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon EU.

What emerged wasn’t just project awareness, it was a cohesive narrative around how open infrastructure underpins sovereign, scalable, and AI-ready platforms.

Preparing and delivering this presentation with Alexandra for KubeCon+CloudNativeCon Europe was so much fun 🤩 “The Developer’s Nightmare: How To Survive Compliance Checklists (and Still Ship Fast)”. And you? Have you ever met the Guardians of Compliance? #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon

Back from a busy week at Cloud Native #Rejekts and #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon in Amsterdam.

Thanks to this incredible community and I am very grateful for all the friends I got to catch up with, and for the new ones I met along the way. Special shout-out to the #Nix folks: loved connecting, and it’s exciting to see touchpoints with both communities.

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.

Why we’re contributing llm-d to the CNCF: Standardizing the future of AI

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.

In AI research, the hurdle isn't just compute—it's maintaining control at scale. Managing 4.3M+ GitHub projects requires a rock-solid architectural foundation.

It’s impressive to see NAIRR leveraging #RHEL, #OpenShift, and OpenShift AI to bridge the gap between shared resources and true ownership. This is how you scale innovation without drowning in tech debt.

NAIRR, Red Hat, and open source help provide the control plane for AI research

NAIRR, a national program led by the NSF, is democratizing access to high-end AI compute for researchers by creating a shared national infrastructure. Red Hat provides an open source foundation, including OpenShift and OpenShift AI, to serve as the control plane for this infrastructure, helping to maintain project-level boundaries, research isolation, and digital sovereignty.

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.

KubeCon is so overwhelming. 😵‍💫

It’s so big and so many things are going on and it’s loud - it was great joining some smaller community gatherings today (LGBTQ+ gathering, ASL Workshop) but the main conference is just too much for me.

#kubecon26 #cloudnativecon
What an amazing first day at #KubeCon! 🙌
Yesterday was fantastic, meeting so many of you. Please stop by our booth today to explore #VictoriaMetrics Cloud, the hosted monitoring solution for scaled metrics and logs. The booth is open until March 26 in Amsterdam!

I love photos with mascots so much.

At #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon EU?

Stop by the Kata Containers booth during the KubeCrawl NOW to talk container security, agent sandboxing, and what real isolation looks like in Kubernetes.
