In this episode, we unpack the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, the powerhouse behind essential technologies like Kubernetes and Prometheus. We'll explore how the CNCF provides a complete architectural toolkit for the modern cloud, from its graduated, battle-tested projects to emerging game-changers like Cilium and Argo that are revolutionizing networking and deployment with eBPF and GitOps. We'll also cover the key patterns, security principles, and future trends you need to know to build resilient, scalable systems.
