Jonathan Bryce, the new CNCF executive director, argues that inference—not model training—will define the next decade of computing. Speaking at KubeCon North America 2025, he emphasized that while the industry obsesses over massive LLM training runs, the real opportunity lies in efficiently serving these models at scale. Cloud-native infrastructure, he says, is uniquely suited to this shift because inference requires real-time deployment, security, scaling, and observability—strengths of the CNCF ecosystem. Bryce believes Kubernetes is already central to modern inference stacks, with projects like Ray, KServe, and emerging GPU-oriented tooling enabling teams to deploy and operationalize models. To bring consistency to this fast-moving space, the CNCF launched a Kubernetes AI Conformance Program, ensuring environments support GPU workloads and Dynamic Resource Allocation. With AI agents poised to multiply inference demand by executing parallel, multi-step tasks, efficiency becomes essential. Bryce predicts that smaller, task-specific models and cloud-native routing optimizations will drive major performance gains. Ultimately, he sees CNCF technologies forming the foundation for what he calls “the biggest workload mankind will ever have.” Learn more from The New Stack about inference: Confronting AI's Next Big Challenge: Inference Compute Deep Infra Is Building an AI Inference Cloud for Developers Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

Helm 4: What's New in the Open Source Kubernetes Package Manager?

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 3, 2025 24:45

Helm — originally a hackathon project called Kate's Place — turned 10 in 2025, marking the milestone with the release of Helm 4, its first major update in six years. Created by Matt Butcher and colleagues as a playful take on “K8s,” the early project won a small prize but quickly grew into a serious effort when Deus leadership recognized the need for a Kubernetes package manager. Renamed Helm, it rapidly expanded with community contributors and became one of the first CNCF graduating projects.Helm 4 reflects years of accumulated design debt and evolving use cases. After the rapid iterations of Helm 1, 2, and 3, the latest version modernizes logging, improves dependency management, and introduces WebAssembly-based plugins for cross-platform portability—addressing the growing diversity of operating systems and architectures. Beyond headline features, maintainers emphasize that mature projects increasingly deliver “boring” but essential improvements, such as better logging, which simplify workflows and integrate more cleanly with other tools. Helm's re-architected internals also lay the foundation for new chart and package capabilities in upcoming 4.x releases.

All About Cedar, an Open Source Solution for Fine-Tuning Kubernetes Authorization

Kubernetes has relied on role-based access control (RBAC) since 2017, but its simplicity limits what developers can express, said Micah Hausler, principal engineer at AWS, on The New Stack Makers. RBAC only allows actions; it can't enforce conditions, denials, or attribute-based rules. Seeking a more expressive authorization model for Kubernetes, Hausler explored Cedar, an authorization engine and policy language created at AWS in 2022 and later open-sourced. Although not designed specifically for Kubernetes, Cedar proved capable of modeling its authorization needs in a concise, readable way. Hausler highlighted Cedar's clarity—nontechnical users can often understand policies at a glance—as well as its schema validation, autocomplete support, and formal verification, which ensures policies are correct and produce only allow or deny outcomes.Now onboarding to the CNCF sandbox, Cedar is used by companies like Cloudflare and MongoDB and offers language-agnostic tooling, including a Go implementation donated by StrongDM. The project is actively seeking contributors, especially to expand bindings for languages like TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python.Learn more from The New Stack about Cedar:Ceph: 20 Years of Cutting-Edge Storage at the Edge The Cedar Programming Language: Authorization SimplifiedJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2025 in Atlanta, the panel of experts - Kate Goldenring of Fermyon Technologies, Idit Levine of Solo.io, Shaun O'Meara of Mirantis, Sean O'Dell of Dynatrace and James Harmison of Red Hat - explored whether the cloud native era has evolved into an AI native era — and what that shift means for infrastructure, security and development practices. Jonathan Bryce of the CNCF argued that true AI-native systems depend on robust inference layers, which have been overshadowed by the hype around chatbots and agents. As organizations push AI to the edge and demand faster, more personalized experiences, Fermyon's Kate Goldenring highlighted WebAssembly as a way to bundle and securely deploy models directly to GPU-equipped hardware, reducing latency while adding sandboxed security.Dynatrace's Sean O'Dell noted that AI dramatically increases observability needs: integrating LLM-based intelligence adds value but also expands the challenge of filtering massive data streams to understand user behavior. Meanwhile, Mirantis CTO Shaun O'Meara emphasized a return to deeper infrastructure awareness. Unlike abstracted cloud native workloads, AI workloads running on GPUs require careful attention to hardware performance, orchestration, and energy constraints. Managing power-hungry data centers efficiently, he argued, will be a defining challenge of the AI native era.Learn more from The New Stack about evolving cloud native ecosystem to an AI native eraCloud Native and AI: Why Open Source Needs Standards Like MCPA Decade of Cloud Native: From CNCF, to the Pandemic, to AICrossing the AI Chasm: Lessons From the Early Days of CloudJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

DOP 326: Stop Reinventing The Wheel - Use Dapr Instead

DevOps Paradox

#326: Microservices architecture has evolved far beyond simple distributed systems, but most development teams are still rebuilding the same foundational patterns over and over again. Mark Fussell, co-founder of Dapr and Diagrid, explains how his team at Microsoft identified this repetitive reinvention problem and created a solution that abstracts away the complexity of service discovery, messaging, state management, and security while providing true cloud portability. Dapr emerged from Microsoft's Azure incubations team with a clear mission: stop forcing developers to rebuild distributed systems patterns from scratch. The runtime provides standardized APIs for common microservices needs while allowing teams to swap underlying infrastructure components without changing application code. Whether using Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, or cloud-native messaging services, developers write against consistent APIs while platform teams maintain control over infrastructure choices. The conversation covers Dapr's journey from Microsoft internal project to CNCF graduated status, the technical decisions behind its multi-language approach, and how it integrates with existing frameworks like Spring Boot and .NET. Mark also discusses Diagrid's platform play around durable workflows and the emerging role of Dapr in AI agent development. Darin and Viktor explore the practical adoption challenges, the balance between developer productivity and platform engineering concerns, and why experienced developers tend to embrace abstraction layers more readily than those building their first distributed systems.

#325: KubeCon NA 2025 wrapped in Atlanta with unseasonably cold weather and some significant shifts in the cloud native ecosystem. The conference showed fewer vendors backing CNCF projects on the show floor, with key concerns emerging around maintainer burnout—exemplified by NGINX Ingress being deprecated despite running on 40% of Kubernetes clusters worldwide. The event revealed a maturing ecosystem where AI moved from buzzword to operational reality, with focus shifting toward conformance standards, security policies, and enterprise readiness rather than the hype cycle of previous years. The discussions revealed a consolidation pattern where larger corporations like AWS, Microsoft, and Google are increasingly the only ones who can sustain open source project maintenance. Startups and smaller companies face difficult choices: maintain existing revenue streams, pivot entirely to AI, or attempt both and fail at both. Meanwhile, AI adoption in the ops space remains behind other sectors, with developers emerging as the primary buyers for AI tooling—a shift that's reshaping go-to-market strategies across vendors. Platform engineering continues as a parallel major theme, focusing on operationalizing infrastructure at scale.

In a recent episode of The New Stack Agents from the Open Source Summit in Amsterdam, Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, discussed the evolving landscape of open source AI. While the Linux Foundation has helped build ecosystems like the CNCF for cloud-native computing, there's no unified umbrella foundation yet for open source AI. Existing efforts include the PyTorch Foundation and LF AI & Data, but AI development is still fragmented across models, tooling, and standards. Zemlin highlighted the industry's shift from foundational models to open-weight models and now toward inference stacks and agentic AI. He suggested a collective effort may eventually form but cautioned against forcing structure too early, stressing the importance of not hindering innovation. Foundations, he said, must balance scale with agility. On the debate over what qualifies as "open source" in AI, Zemlin adopted a pragmatic view, acknowledging the costs of creating frontier models. He supports open-weight models and believes fully open models, from data to deployment, may emerge over time.

Show Notes "Yeah, exactly. In fact, one of the central premises of Dapr has, you know, one of its goals is not only to be multi-language, in that anyone can use the APIs from any language they come from. So it has SDKs. First, you can call it HTTP if that's all you care about. But it has SDKs for Java, JavaScript, of course, .NET, Python, and Go."— Mark Fussell Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am your host: Jamie “GaProgMan” Taylor. In this episode, Mark Fussell from Diagrid joins us to talk about Dapr—that's D-A-P-R—the Distributed Application Runtime, which aims to make it trivial to build applications in a distributed manner: covering things like service discovery, Pubsub messaging, and distribution of your microservice-based applications. "And the reason why I mentioned that is because, going to your AI discussion, is that we had an amazing contributor actually from Microsoft, actually he's ex-Microsoft now, a guy called Roberto Rodriguez, who worked in Microsoft Research, We built an agentic AI framework on top of Dapr workflows because it had this power of being able to do recoverability and coordination."— Mark Fussell Along the way, we cover the history of Dapr, how it started as a Microsoft incubator project (and was heavily inspired by Project Tye), and how it's now a full graduated project of the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation).

On this episode of The Defense Unicorns Podcast, host Rebecca Lively sits down with Brandt Keller, software engineer and CNCF ambassador, to explore what happens when a former Marine brings his frontline mindset to DevSecOps. Brandt's story is one of relentless problem-solving, especially in disconnected, air-gapped environments where “cloud-native” has to mean something entirely different.Brandt unpacks how open source can be both a lifeline and a liability in government systems, and why just consuming it isn't enough—real security means showing up, contributing, and understanding what's under the hood. He shares his perspective on trust, transparency, and why the U.S. government's lack of contribution to critical tools like Kubernetes might be the real risk. The conversation also explores the cultural shift required to embrace open ecosystems in highly regulated spaces.From debates over supply chain security and SBOMs to the practical challenges of deploying software in classified settings, this episode offers a grounded, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build tools that truly work at the tactical edge. Key Quote:“ When you try to take something that is not airgap friendly and make it airgap friendly, you quickly find out that you made a lot of assumptions about how this thing would be used and where, and kind of the underlying infrastructure and when you try to work back for them that it's, it, it's difficult. It's not something you can't overcome. It's not insurmountable, but it is difficult. But you also find out that there's just a lot of areas for. Resiliency that you didn't also plan for, that applied to connected environments. And so this is where I've kind of been diving into this more and more lately to try and to describe, and build some knowledge to around why this is important for kind of building any application today. It may be a little niche to go to the extreme of air gap, but I believe like there's still some of these underlying cloud native fundamentals that is like, if you start with the ability for knowing how your architecture adapts to varying levels of connectivity, then you're probably building a stronger, more resilient system overall.”Brandt KellerTime Stamps:(03:19) The Defense Sector and Career Path(06:15) Becoming a Cloud Native Computing Foundation Ambassador(09:48) Open Source Contributions and the Challenges(14:14) Government and the lack of Open Source(32:53) Kubernetes and Foreign Contributions(37:24) The Importance of Air Gap in Cloud Native Tools(53:16) Lightning Round Links:Connect with Brandt KellerConnect with Rebecca LivelyLearn More About Defense Unicorns

Cloud native patterns and open source developments were on display at the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe conference. The biannual gathering was showing how the container ecosystem continues to mature and analysts Jean Atelsek and William Fellows join host Eric Hanselman to explore their insights. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), part of the Linux Foundation, continues to expand the event and advance the maturity of the open source projects that are part of its purview. Day 2 operations have been gaining focus and the pre-conference FinOps X event was an indication of the emphasis on operational controls as it digs into infrastructure cost management. The opening “Day 0” events at KubeCon, which have been the forum for specialized project meetings, have become a key part of the conference, with over 6,000 attendees, almost half of the reported 13,000 total. The Kubernetes container management project is now over ten years old and one of the other signs of technology evolution was the integration of the OpenInfra Foundation, which managed the OpenStack project and other infrastructure elements, into the Linux Foundation. Open source projects are gaining wider adoption and one of the messages from projects and vendors at KubeCon, was the hope that it could offer alternatives to enterprise infrastructure stalwart, VMware. The CNCF is expanding its investments in improving security across the projects under its umbrella. There was also continued development of platform engineering initiatives. Bounding the expanding world of open source projects to create consistent development and operational tool chains for enterprise is one more sign of maturity in the container world.

How is agentic AI reshaping cloud security and what does the future hold for this transformative technology? In today's episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Loris Degioanni, the founder and CTO of Sysdig, to explore how agentic AI is driving innovation in cloud security. As the creator of Sysdig and the CNCF runtime security tool Falco, Loris brings a wealth of expertise to the conversation, having also been a key contributor to the widely-used open-source network analyzer, Wireshark. We discuss how Sysdig has pioneered the first AI-powered cloud security tool using agentic AI. This groundbreaking approach enables AI agents to function as domain-specific experts, working collaboratively to provide rapid threat detection—reducing response times to under 10 minutes in cloud environments where speed is critical. Loris shares insights into the cultural and technological factors fueling the rise of agentic AI and its potential to revolutionize cybersecurity. The conversation also delves into the promises and pitfalls of agentic AI, such as its ability to handle complex tasks in a way that mimics human teams, alongside challenges like latency and cost.
