ChatLoopBackOff - Episode 41 (K8gb) K8gb is an open-source global load balancer specifically designed for Kubernetes, by enabling high availability, seamless failover without manual intervention. It provides global server load balancing (GSLB) capabilities by distributing traffic across multiple geographically dispersed Kubernetes clusters. The project was created to offer a cloud-native and Kubernetes-native solution, eliminating the need for proprietary or complex external load balancing solutions. Join CNCF Ambassador Oluebube Princess as she explores how K8gb operates using DNS-based load balancing, leveraging CoreDNS within the clusters.

ChatLoopBackOff - Episode 40 (Spiderpool) Spiderpool focuses on enhancing IP Address Management (IPAM) for Kubernetes clusters, particularly in cloud-native environments. It aims to simplify the networking requirements for applications by providing advanced IP management capabilities and integrating seamlessly with various Container Network Interface (CNI) plugins. Join CNCF Ambassador Afzal Ansari as he explores how Spiderpool provides a comprehensive IPAM solution, addressing the challenges of networking in Kubernetes while allowing for flexible deployment and high-performance requirements.

ChatLoopBackOff - Episode 39 (KubeStellar) A CNCF Sandbox project, KubeStellar’s goal is to make multi-cluster operations as seamless as managing a single cluster, thus enhancing productivity and reducing the complexity of managing Kubernetes at scale. It is designed to simplify the deployment and management of Kubernetes objects across multiple clusters, including edge, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments. KubeStellar aims to deliver a "pure Kubernetes" experience by allowing users to deploy native Kubernetes objects across clusters without wrapping or modifying them. Join CNCF Ambassador Carlos Santana as he explores how KubeStellar makes it easier to scale from single-cluster to multi-cluster setups while maintaining familiar workflows and tooling.

ChatLoopBackOff - Episode 38 (Copacetic) Copacetic, also known as "Copa," is an open-source project designed to streamline container security by addressing vulnerabilities directly within container images. The tool is primarily a command-line interface (CLI) application that allows users to patch container image vulnerabilities based on scanning results from tools like Trivy. The main advantage is that it enables patching without the need to rebuild the entire container image, offering a faster and more efficient approach to securing containers. Join CNCF Ambassador Oluebube Princess Egbuna as she explores Copa for the first time!

ChatLoopBackOff - Episode 37 (Flux) Flux is an open-source tool that enables GitOps workflows for Kubernetes. It automates the deployment and management of applications by using Git as the single source of truth for declarative configurations. Join CNCF Ambassador Hans Kristian Flaatten LIVE as he learns about how Flux can help teams adopt GitOps practices, improving collaboration, consistency, and reliability in their deployment processes for Kubernetes applications.

ChatLoopBackOff - Episode 36 (Istio) Istio is an open-source service mesh, it provides a way to manage microservices interactions and helps developers secure, connect, and observe services in a cloud-native environment. By abstracting the complexity of microservices communication, Istio helps teams focus on application logic while improving security, reliability, and observability across their services. Join CNCF Ambassador Ronit Banerjee explore Isitio via a live demo!

ChatLoopBackOff - Episode 35 (OpenFGA) OpenFGA (Open Fine-Grained Access) helps developers implement robust access control mechanisms that can evolve alongside their applications, supporting modern security practices in cloud-native environments. It provides an open-source implementation for fine-grained access control in applications, enabling developers to define and manage access policies for resources in a flexible and scalable way. Join CNCF Ambassador, Afzal Ansari explore OpenFGA for the first time!

ChatLoopBackOff - Episode 34 (Crossplane) Crossplane helps organizations achieve better governance, consistency, and efficiency in their cloud infrastructure management. It’s an open-source framework that allows you to manage cloud infrastructure and services using Kubernetes-style APIs. Crossplane enables users to define, provision, and manage cloud resources declaratively through Kubernetes manifests. Join CNCF Ambassador Sandipan Panda as he explores Crossplane and how it extends Kubernetes to manage not just application workloads but also the underlying infrastructure needed to support those applications across various cloud providers.
