kube-vip
Kubernetes Control Plane Virtual IP and Load-Balancer
kube-vip provides Kubernetes clusters with a virtual IP and load balancer for both the control plane (for building a highly-available cluster) and Kubernetes Services of type LoadBalancer without relying on any external hardware or software. ARP is a layer 2 protocol that is used to inform the network of the location of a new address. When a new IP address is configured to a device, there needs to be a mechanism to inform the network of which piece of hardware is hosting this new address. ARP is the technology that is used to ensure that a network understands the link between the hardware address (MAC) and the logical address (IP). -

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. -

gVisor
Application Kernel for Containers
gVisor is an application kernel developed by Google that provides a strong layer of isolation between applications and the host operating system. Written in Go, it implements a Linux-compatible system call interface that runs entirely in user space, creating a secure sandboxed environment for containers. Unlike traditional virtual machines or lightweight syscall filters, gVisor follows a third approach that offers many of the security benefits of virtualization while maintaining the speed, resource efficiency, and flexibility of containers. Its key runtime, runsc, integrates seamlessly with container ecosystems such as Docker and Kubernetes, making it easy to deploy sandboxed workloads using familiar tools. By intercepting and safely handling syscalls from applications, gVisor reduces the attack surface of the host kernel, mitigating risks associated with running untrusted or potentially malicious code in containerized environments. -

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. -

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. -

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. This means you can use your familiar Kubernetes processes and tooling to manage complete Kafka applications. -
