With the recent announcement from CNCF (https://www.cncf.io/announcement/2018/08/29/cncf-receives-9-million-cloud-credit-grant-from-google) – noting that Google Cloud has begun transferring ownership and management of the Kubernetes project’s cloud resources to CNCF community contributors, we are excited to embark on another journey. One that allows the project infrastructure to be owned and operated by the community of contributors, following the same open governance model that has worked for the rest of the project.

CNCF Survey: Use of Cloud Native Technologies in Production Has Grown Over 200% (https://www.cncf.io/blog/2018/08/29/cncf-survey-use-of-cloud-native-technologies-in-production-has-grown-over-200-percent/)
Kaitlyn Barnard, CNCF

The bi-annual CNCF survey takes a pulse of the community to better understand the adoption of cloud native technologies. This is the sixth time CNCF has taken the temperature of the container management marketplace. Key highlights include increased production usage of cloud native technologies, growth of serverless, and an in-depth overview of the tools being used in conjunction with Kubernetes.

Distributed Tracing Infrastructure with Jaeger on Kubernetes (https://medium.com/@masroor.hasan/tracing-infrastructure-with-jaeger-on-kubernetes-6800132a677)
Masroor Hasan, Mux

One cannot overstate the importance of monitoring infrastructure as an integral component of distributed systems (or, any system for that matter). Monitoring infrastructure can be setup to give insights into performance, system health and behavioral patterns over time. This post goes over one aspect of a monitoring infrastructure — distributed tracing.
