Docker Hub's pull rate limit is an increasingly real risk to image pulls on production K3s clusters. Kubo explains the design decisions and hidden costs of self-hosting Harbor, a CNCF Graduated project.
When adopting CNCF projects for your Kubernetes stack, are you judging them by GitHub stars and name recognition alone? Learn the Sandbox/Incubating/Graduated maturity framework and the Harbor case study to know what to check before production.
When you can't add a privileged container or inject a sidecar into a production Kubernetes cluster, how do you diagnose Pod traffic and syscalls? We explain how the eBPF tool Inspektor Gadget works, and what happened to it in 2026.
AI compute demand has flipped from training to inference, with inference compute projected to reach 1.5x training capacity by 2030. Drawing on KubeCon Japan discussions and the CNCF AI Conformance Program, this article outlines what Kubernetes/K3s clusters need to look like in the inference era.
The CNCF 'Graduated' badge is not a safety certificate. Drawing on TOC public meeting notes and official documentation, this article explains the real review process behind Sandbox, Incubating, and Graduated status, and how to judge OSS maturity before adopting it in production.
