Cloud Native Computing Foundation

Cloud Native Computing Foundation CNCF is part of The Linux Foundation.

Cloud native computing uses an open source software stack to deploy applications as microservices, packaging each part into its own container, and dynamically orchestrating those containers to optimize resource utilization. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) hosts critical components of those software stacks including Kubernetes and Prometheus; brings together the industryā€™s top developers, end users, and vendors; and serves as a neutral home for collaboration.

A GPU outside its NVLink island or a TPU on the wrong torus coordinate may be unusable for frontier training.

Join Decheng Dai of Anthropic at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America where he will share what worked, what broke and what had to change while building a topology-aware, gang-scheduling Kubernetes scheduler for enormous AI clusters.

Join us November 9-12 in Salt Lake City.

What does it actually take to operate frontier AI models across modern infrastructure?

At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon China, Chris Aniszczyk and Xiao Zhang examined the real-world operational challenges of running large-scale AI workloads in production environments. From cluster scaling to workload orchestration, open cloud native technologies provide the foundation for modern AI architectures.

LLM inference routing must balance clusters, accelerator-backed engines, capacity, performance, geography and cost.

At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, Qianru Lao of OpenAI will explore an Inference Load Balancer architecture that separates a low-latency proxy from a Kubernetes-operated controller.

šŸšØ The speaker submission deadline is tomorrow.

This is your final full day to propose a talk for one of the CNCF-hosted Co-located Events taking place ahead of + Europe 2027.

These community-focused events create space for detailed technical conversations, honest lessons, collaborative problem-solving, and new connections around specific projects and technologies.

If you have experience that could help others build, operate, secure, scale, or contribute more effectively, put it on the program.

The events take place 15 March in Barcelona, Spain.

The Call for Proposals closes tomorrow at 11:59 PM CEST. Give your idea one final review and submit:

North America is connecting face-to-face with project maintainers and building real community relationships.

Beyond learning what teams are building across the ecosystem, attending gives you direct access to the people maintainers and contributors building the technologies you rely on daily. Stop by the Project Pavilion to meet maintainers, share feedback, and see where key cloud native projects are heading next.

AI can strengthen observability, but poisoned telemetry can also manipulate AIOps systems into making dangerous decisions.

At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, Diana Todea of VictoriaMetrics will present a zero-trust telemetry architecture using mTLS, certificate-based authentication, fine-grained RBAC and tamper detection.

When GPU and CPU memory appear as standard NUMA nodes in one coherent address space, powerful new capabilities arrive. So do some unexpected Kubernetes failures.

At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, Kevin Klues of NVIDIA will examine what broke when memory-coherent hardware met Kubernetes, from CPU-only pods consuming GPU memory to workloads scheduling under memory pressure and crashing.

Learn how Coherent Driver-based Memory Management addressed the most critical gaps and what work remains.

Wondering how your production stack and tooling choices compare to the rest of the cloud native ecosystem?

Whether you're managing multi-cluster setups or modernizing platform workflows, seeing how peer organizations handle infrastructure decisions helps everyone build more effectively.

The 2026 Cloud Native Annual Survey gathers insights from practitioners worldwide on container usage, open source tools, and daily operational hurdles. Survey findings will be shared openly with the community to help teams benchmark their choices.

Take 15 minutes to share your engineering experience and help guide our ecosystem forward:

Model serving failures rarely happen inside the LLM itself; they happen in the system around it.

To keep AI workloads running smoothly, platform teams need to connect the dots between underlying GPU performance and end-to-end agent reasoning steps. Combining Prometheus GPU telemetry with OpenTelemetry distributed traces gives you the full picture, letting you pinpoint bottlenecks before they affect end users.

At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, learn how maintainers and production engineering teams build reliable observability pipelines for AI and inference workloads.
