Announcing a new CNCF online series: Fireside Chat 🔥 Join us for our inaugural session, on December 9, with the product and platform teams from Intuit as we go behind the scenes of how they’re building AI agents at scale on a Kubernetes-based internal developer platform. We’ll unpack: • What “AI agents” mean in real-world cloud native systems • How Intuit’s platform engineering team paved a secure, standardized path on Kubernetes, Argo, Istio and OpenTelemetry • How observability and responsible AI practices keep agentic workloads reliable in production Hosted by Jono Bacon, co-founder and CEO of Stateshift. Bring your questions for the live Q&A — December 9 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm GMT. Book now 👉 https://hubs.la/Q03VXmKD0 #CNCF #CloudNativeAI #PlatformEngineering #Observability

"KubeCon + CloudNativeCon in Atlanta felt like stepping into a living organism made of ideas, conversations, and the unmistakable hum of a community that never stops building.” We’re excited to share a reflection from Harsha Thirimanna—one of our KCD organizers—on this year’s event and its impact on the broader cloud native ecosystem. His article highlights the generosity, collaboration, and momentum that continue to shape open source. #CloudNative #CNCF #CloudNativeCommunity #OpenSource

CNL: Kyverno 1.16 — Advancing Policy as Code with CEL and SDK Kyverno 1.16 delivers major advancements in policy-as-code for Kubernetes, centered on a new generation of CEL-based policies now available in beta, with a clear path to GA. This release introduces partial support for namespaced CEL policies to confine enforcement and minimize RBAC, aligning with least-privilege best practices. Observability is significantly enhanced with full metrics for CEL policies and native event generation, enabling precise visibility and faster troubleshooting. Security and governance get sharper controls through fine-grained policy exceptions tailored for CEL policies, and validation use cases broaden with the integration of an HTTP authorizer into ValidatingPolicy. Finally, we’re debuting the Kyverno SDK, laying the foundation for ecosystem integrations and custom tooling, with maturity planned in 1.17. Join this session to learn what’s new, how to adopt CEL policies confidently, and what’s coming next.

The CNCF Maintainer Summit will take place 22 March 2026 in Amsterdam alongside KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe.
