The 4 Biggest Challenges of Scaling Cloud-Native AI Workloads

When working with #AI in cloud environments, traditional data provisioning and software testing methods don't work because of the behavior of AI and LLM APIs. In this Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) webinar recording, we discuss the top 4 challenges of scaling cloud-native AI workloads, and the solutions developers are turning to instead.

Kafka-docker-composer: A Simple Tool to Create a docker-compose.yml File for Failover Testing

Confluent has published official Docker containers for many years. They are the basis for deploying a cluster in Kubernetes using Confluent for Kubernetes (CFK), and one of the underpinning technologies behind Confluent Cloud. For testing, containers are convenient for quickly spinning up a local cluster with all the components required, such as Confluent Schema Registry or Confluent Control Center.

How to Manage Your Kubernetes Services with an API Gateway

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers into logical units for easy management and discovery. API gateways sit between clients and microservices. They act as a reverse proxy to accept all API calls, then route and transform requests to appropriate microservice.

Learn how to efficiently manage and secure microservices deployed on Kubernetes using an API gateway. This tutorial demonstrates integrating Kubernetes services with Kong Gateway via the Kong Ingress Controller.

Kubernetes Operators vs HELM: Package Management Comparison

While Kubernetes has become the standard platform for container orchestration, managing complex application lifecycles can still be a challenge. That's where Kubernetes Operators and Helm Charts come in. This guide dives into both of these tools to explain what they do, how they're different, and their ideal use cases. Whether you're new to Kubernetes or seeking clarity – this article is here to help!

Introducing the World's First OSS Production-Grade Gateway API Operator

Today’s the day you’ve all been waiting for: Kong Gateway Operator OSS is here. You can read the code and see what a production-grade Kubernetes operator looks like. Authored by multiple Gateway API contributors, Kong Gateway Operator is the de-facto reference for Gateway API implementers on Kubernetes. Kong Gateway Operator (KGO) 1.2 brings six new features plus a brand new Helm chart that allows you to deploy KGO using tools that you already know and love.

Managing the Lifecycle of Gateways in Kubernetes Using Gateway API

Managing your Gateways on Kubernetes has historically been a very manual process, usually involving the use of Helm for operations like upgrades. At Kong we've been working on the Kong Gateway Operator (KGO) to revolutionize the experience of operating Gateways in production. Say goodbye to the cumbersome, manual processes of managing Gateways. Our operator transforms the configuration and lifecycle management experience, automating the tedious and complex operations that used to bog you down.
