Kata Containers
Build a standard implementation of lightweight Virtual Machines (VMs)
Kata Containers is an open source container runtime, building lightweight virtual machines that seamlessly plug into the container ecosystem. Kata Containers is an open source community working to build a secure container runtime with lightweight virtual machines that feel and perform like containers, but provide stronger workload isolation using hardware virtualization technology as a second layer of defense. Since launching in December 2017, the community successfully merged the best parts of Intel Clear Containers with Hyper.sh RunV and scaled to include support for major architectures including AMD64, ARM, IBM p-series, and IBM z-series in addition to x86_64. Kata Containers also supports multiple hypervisors including QEMU, Cloud-Hypervisor, and Firecracker, and integrates with the containerd project among others. -

Goldilocks
Get your resource requests "Just Right"
Goldilocks is a utility that can help you identify a starting point for resource requests and limits. By using the Kubernetes vertical-pod-autoscaler in recommendation mode, we can see a suggestion for resource requests on each of our apps. This tool creates a VPA for each workload in a namespace and then queries them for information. Once your VPAs are in place, you'll see recommendations appear in the Goldilocks dashboard. -

cri-tools
CLI and validation tools for Kubelet Container Runtime Interface (CRI)
CLI and validation tools for Kubelet Container Runtime Interface (CRI). cri-tools aims to provide a series of debugging and validation tools for Kubelet CRI. It's recommended to use the same cri-tools and Kubernetes minor version, because new features added to the Container Runtime Interface (CRI) may not be fully supported if they diverge. cri-tools follows the Kubernetes release cycles with respect to its minor versions (1.x.y). Patch releases (1.x.z) for Kubernetes are not in sync with those from cri-tools, because they are scheduled for each month, whereas cri-tools provides them only if necessary. If a Kubernetes release goes End of Life, then the corresponding cri-tools version can be considered in the same way. -

Argo Rollouts
Progressive Delivery for Kubernetes
Argo Rollouts is a Kubernetes controller and set of CRDs that provide advanced deployment capabilities such as blue-green, canary, canary analysis, experimentation, and progressive delivery features to Kubernetes. Argo Rollouts (optionally) integrates with ingress controllers and service meshes, leveraging their traffic shaping abilities to gradually shift traffic to the new version during an update. Additionally, Rollouts can query and interpret metrics from various providers to verify key KPIs and drive automated promotion or rollback during an update. -

Pumba
Chaos testing, network emulation, stress testing tool for containers
Pumba is a chaos testing command line tool for Docker containers. Pumba disturbs your containers by crashing containerized applications, emulating network failures and stress-testing container resources (cpu, memory, fs, io, and others). -

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. -

Deckhouse
Kubernetes platform from Flant
Deckhouse is a Kubernetes platform that allows you to create homogeneous K8s clusters on any infrastructure. It manages clusters comprehensively and “automagically” and provides all necessary modules and add-ons for autoscaling, observability, security, and service mesh implementation. Deckhouse has vanilla Kubernetes under the hood and integrates a balanced set of Open Source tools that have become the industry standard. Out-of-the-box secure configuration of the Kubernetes cluster, least component privileges, pre-configured role model, end-to-end object identity in the audit system, and integration with external directory services. Built-in implementation of Pod Security Standards and a ready-to-use, extensible set of recommended policies. Deckhouse automates many routine deployment, scaling, and infrastructure management operations out of the box. It manages system software on the nodes (kernel, CRI, kubelet), basic Kubernetes components (control plane, etc, certificates, etc.). -

Multus-CNI
A CNI meta-plugin for multi-homed pods in Kubernetes
Multus CNI enables attaching multiple network interfaces to pods in Kubernetes. Multus CNI is a container network interface (CNI) plugin for Kubernetes that enables attaching multiple network interfaces to pods. Typically, in Kubernetes each pod only has one network interface (apart from a loopback) -- with Multus you can create a multi-homed pod that has multiple interfaces. This is accomplished by Multus acting as a "meta-plugin", a CNI plugin that can call multiple other CNI plugins. The quickstart installation method for Multus requires that you have first installed a Kubernetes CNI plugin to serve as your pod-to-pod network, which we refer to as your "default network" (a network interface that every pod will be created with). Each network attachment created by Multus will be in addition to this default network interface. -

Numaflow
Kubernetes-native platform to run massively parallel data/streaming
Numaflow is a Kubernetes-native tool for running massively parallel stream processing. A Numaflow Pipeline is implemented as a Kubernetes custom resource and consists of one or more source, data processing, and sink vertices. Numaflow installs in a few minutes and is easier and cheaper to use for simple data processing applications than a full-featured stream processing platform. -

Sysbox
Open-source, next-generation "runc" that empowers rootless containers
An open-source, next-generation "runc" that empowers rootless containers to run workloads such as Systemd, Docker, and Kubernetes, just like VMs. Think of it as a "container supercharger": it enables your existing container managers/orchestrators (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, etc.) to deploy containers that have hardened isolation and can run almost any workload that runs in VMs. Sysbox does this by making the container resemble a VM-like environment as much as possible, using advanced OS virtualization techniques. Unlike alternative runtimes such as Kata and KubeVirt, it does not use VMs. This makes it easier to use (particularly in cloud environments by avoiding nested virtualization), although it does not provide the level of isolation that VM-based runtimes do. -

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.
