Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)

End of 2025 is close, so it's time for another "Thank You" blog post! This time it's for FluxCD! At Causely we lean on Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects to build our product and run our operation, including Kubernetes and OpenTelemetry! One quiet powerhouse in the stack is FluxCD, the GitOps engine that turns the desired state in git into reality in our clusters and keeps it that way! Flux matters to use, because of velocity, control, visibility, consistency, predictability and more! So a big shout out to everyone who contributes to and maintains the FluxCD project, we are grateful users! Thomas, Endre and I wrote this blog to say thank you, to give some best practices, a quick start guide with FluxCD + the OpenTelemetry Demo ... and of course a preview how you can roll out Causely with Flux! Give it a read and let us know what you’re using Flux for! https://lnkd.in/gemSpvaZ

ChatLoopBackOff: Episode 74 (krkn ) Join CNCF Ambassador Vyom Yadav as he explores krkn, a CNCF project focused on improving Kubernetes resilience through chaos and fault-injection workflows. In this live, first-time exploration, Vyom will take a look at how krkn helps teams understand system behavior under stress, validate reliability assumptions, and build confidence in their cloud native platforms. Expect hands-on experimentation, real-time discoveries, and candid reflections as Vyom walks through the project’s features, community resources, and ecosystem integrations. Whether you're interested in resilience testing, curious about emerging CNCF projects, or simply enjoy learning alongside the community, this episode offers an accessible introduction to how krkn approaches chaos engineering in Kubernetes environments.
