Kubernetes Gateway API
Repository for the next iteration of composite service
Gateway API is an official Kubernetes project focused on L4 and L7 routing in Kubernetes. This project represents the next generation of Kubernetes Ingress, Load Balancing, and Service Mesh APIs. From the outset, it has been designed to be generic, expressive, and role-oriented. Most of the configuration in this API is contained in the Routing layer. These protocol-specific resources (HTTPRoute, GRPCRoute, etc) enable advanced routing capabilities for both Ingress and Mesh. When using Gateway API to manage ingress traffic, the Gateway resource defines a point of access at which traffic can be routed across multiple contexts -- for example, from outside the cluster to inside the cluster (north/south traffic). Each Gateway is associated with a GatewayClass, which describes the actual kind of gateway controller that will handle traffic for the Gateway; individual routing resources (such as HTTPRoute) are then associated with the Gateway resources. -

NVIDIA GPU Operator
NVIDIA GPU Operator creates/configures/manages GPUs atop Kubernetes
Kubernetes provides access to special hardware resources such as NVIDIA GPUs, NICs, Infiniband adapters and other devices through the device plugin framework. However, configuring and managing nodes with these hardware resources requires the configuration of multiple software components such as drivers, container runtimes or other libraries which are difficult and prone to errors. The NVIDIA GPU Operator uses the operator framework within Kubernetes to automate the management of all NVIDIA software components needed to provision GPU. These components include the NVIDIA drivers (to enable CUDA), Kubernetes device plugin for GPUs, the NVIDIA Container Runtime, automatic node labeling, DCGM-based monitoring, and others. -

Strimzi
Apache Kafka® running on Kubernetes
Strimzi provides a way to run an Apache Kafka cluster on Kubernetes in various deployment configurations. Strimzi provides a way to run an Apache Kafka cluster on Kubernetes in various deployment configurations. For development, it’s easy to set up a cluster in Minikube in a few minutes. For production you can tailor the cluster to your needs, using features such as rack awareness to spread brokers across availability zones, and Kubernetes taints and tolerations to run Kafka on dedicated nodes. You can expose Kafka outside Kubernetes using NodePort, Load balancer, Ingress and OpenShift Routes, depending on your needs, and these are easily secured using TLS. The Kube-native management of Kafka is not limited to the broker. You can also manage Kafka topics, users, Kafka MirrorMaker and Kafka Connect using Custom Resources.

cri-dockerd
dockerd as a compliant Container Runtime Interface for Kubernetes
This adapter provides a shim for Docker Engine that lets you control Docker via the Kubernetes Container Runtime Interface. Mirantis and Docker have agreed to partner to maintain the shim code standalone outside Kubernetes, as a conformant CRI interface for the Docker Engine API. For Mirantis customers, that means that Docker Engine’s commercially supported version, Mirantis Container Runtime (MCR), will be CRI compliant. This means that you can continue to build Kubernetes based on the Docker Engine as before, just switching from the built-in docker shim to the external one. Mirantis and Docker intend to work together to make sure it continues to work as well as before and that it passes all the conformance tests and continues to work just like the built-in version did. Mirantis will be using this in Mirantis Kubernetes Engine, and Docker will continue to ship this shim in Docker Desktop. -

Pyrra
Making SLOs with Prometheus manageable, accessible, and easy to use
Making SLOs with Prometheus manageable, accessible, and easy to use for everyone. When running Pyrra outside of Kubernetes, the SLO object can be provided through a YAML file read from the file system. For this, one container or binary needs to be started with the API argument and the reconciler with the filesystem argument. Here, Pyrra will save the generated recording rules to disk where they can be picked up by a Prometheus instance. While running Pyrra on its own works, there won't be any SLO configured, nor will there be any data from Prometheus to work with. It's designed to work alongside a Prometheus. -
