1 week ago | cloudnativenow.com | Adrian Bridgwater

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation has made statements this month in association with high-performance data platform company Synadia to underpin the future of the NATS project. Open source at its core, NATS is designed to enable secured real-time data exchange and communication across cloud computing environments spanning public resources, on-premises deployments and edge IoT worlds.
Nutanix Previews Storage Platform Running Natively on Kubernetes Clusters

1 week ago | cloudnativenow.com | Mike Vizard

Nutanix today at its .Next conference made available under an early access program a storage platform that runs natively on a Kubernetes cluster. Previously known as Project Beacon, the company’s Cloud Native AOS platform leverages Kubernetes application programming interfaces (APIs) to provide access to a range of data services, including disaster recovery capabilities that can now span multiple availability zones, multiple clouds and on-premises IT environments.
Addressing Container Security Challenges in DevOps Workflows

Kubernetes workloads differ. That basic truth should come as no surprise to anybody. We know that K8s sports a variety of workload patterns, each with its own characteristics, based on different use cases. Kube-centric workloads span everything from comparatively simple stateless web applications to complex, stateful distributed systems.

Docker, Inc. Makes Invoking LLMs Simpler for Application Developers

1 month ago | cloudnativenow.com | Mike Vizard

Docker Inc. this week added an ability to make it possible for application developers using its tools to build cloud-native applications to run large language models (LLMs) on their local machines. Available in beta, Docker Model Runner achieves that by embedding an AI inference engine into Docker Desktop using an open source llama.cpp library to make the LLM available locally using the OpenAI application programming interface (API). As a result, no extra tools or setup is required.
