Cloud-Native DevOps with Kubernetes

Cloud-Native DevOps with Kubernetes focuses on leveraging Kubernetes and related technologies to automate and optimize deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers. These practices incorporate various tools including Prometheus for monitoring, Istio for service connectivity, and containerd for container runtime, streamlining the management of microservices and serverless applications in a cloud environment. This subject area includes continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes, enhanced security, and efficient resource management.

Ranks are based on the open source contributions and reassessed every 30 days
