BlogFAQ
What does this section cover?
Four modules — Kubernetes and cloud native (control-plane internals, CNI/CSI/CRI, GitOps, cluster deployment), Go engineering (concurrency, cross-platform builds, release toolchains), DevOps practice (CI/CD, test automation, registries), and open-source engineering (contribution guides, community collaboration, open-source business models).
Why does an AI blog have an engineering section?
AI products run on solid engineering foundations. The author, Xinwei Xiong (cubxxw), spent years building cloud-native and open-source infrastructure (including the engineering systems behind OpenIM) — the same capabilities that now underpin building production-grade AI agent systems.
Is there Kubernetes source-level content?
Yes. Control-plane components are examined one by one — kube-apiserver architecture, etcd, kubectl, the scheduler — plus deep dives into the CNI/CRI/CSI interfaces and GitOps deployment strategies.
Where should I start reading?
The page is organized into four modules, each listing representative articles with a link to the matching tag page for the full list. For cloud native, start with the Kubernetes quick-start article, then go deeper into the control-plane components.
