While Cloudfleet provides robust &lt;a href="https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/networking/load-balancing/">L4 (TCP/UDP) load balancing&lt;/a> out of the box through LoadBalancer services, HTTP applications require L7 routing capabilities like host-based routing, path-based routing, and TLS termination.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Networking architecture</title><link>https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/networking/architecture/</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/networking/architecture/</guid><description>&lt;p>Kubernetes networking can be complex, but its networking model simplifies things by assigning each pod its own IP address. Containers within a pod share the same IP, enabling seamless communication between pods in a cluster without needing NAT. This means pods can directly communicate with each other using their IP addresses, making it easier to manage networking within the cluster.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Handle single-platform container images</title><link>https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/troubleshooting/handle-single-platform-images/</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/troubleshooting/handle-single-platform-images/</guid><description>&lt;p>When using node auto-provisioning with Fleets, Cloudfleet always picks the cheapest available node to run your container. Many cloud providers offer ARM architecture nodes, which are often more cost-effective than amd64 nodes. However, before scheduling a node, Cloudfleet does not know if your container image only supports a single architecture. If your container image is only available for the amd64 architecture but Cloudfleet decides to provision a ARM node, your container will not run on ARM nodes, resulting in a crash loop.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Install and Configure Istio service mesh</title><link>https://cloudfleet.ai/tutorials/cloud/install-istio/</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 May 2026 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate><guid>https://cloudfleet.ai/tutorials/cloud/install-istio/</guid><description>&lt;p>In the world of microservices, managing the complexities of service-to-service communication, security, and observability can be a significant challenge.

This means that users are not required to create and right-size new compute nodes, deleting unused ones, or managing upgrades. Cloudfleet has a built-in node auto-provisioner that calculates the optimal number and size of nodes based on the current workload. This allows users to focus on their applications rather than on the infrastructure. Customers can influence the node provisioner&amp;rsquo;s decisions through Kubernetes Pod labels, Pod resource requests, and affinity rules. The node provisioner determines the required node topology and the optimal node sizes, and provisions them accordingly. When the nodes are no longer needed, the node provisioner deletes them. If a node becomes unhealthy or is destroyed by the cloud provider due to spot instance preemption, the node auto-provisioner replaces it with a new one. For a comparison with traditional Kubernetes node pools, see &lt;a href="https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/introduction/how-nodes-work/">How Cloudfleet provisions nodes&lt;/a>.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Resource monitoring and pod autoscaling</title><link>https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/workload-management/pod-autoscaling/</link><pubDate>Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/workload-management/pod-autoscaling/</guid><description>&lt;p>Effectively managing application resources is critical for ensuring performance, stability, and cost-efficiency. Cloudfleet provides powerful tools for this: the &lt;code>kubectl top&lt;/code> command for real-time resource monitoring, and &lt;strong>Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA)&lt;/strong>, a standard Kubernetes feature, for automatically adjusting your application&amp;rsquo;s scale to meet demand.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Concepts</title><link>https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/container-registry/concepts/</link><pubDate>Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/container-registry/concepts/</guid><description>&lt;p>This topic describes key concepts you need to understand when working with Cloudfleet Container Registry (CFCR).&lt;/p>

They’re especially useful when you need to connect to an existing cluster, fleet, or use client credentials without managing those resources directly in your Terraform code. This allows for more flexible and modular setups, where infrastructure is shared or managed outside of the current deployment workflow.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Node regions</title><link>https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/cloud-infrastructure/node-regions/</link><pubDate>Mon, 24 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/cloud-infrastructure/node-regions/</guid><description>&lt;p>In cloud computing, the concept of &amp;lsquo;regions&amp;rsquo; refers to the specific geographical locations where cloud service providers operate their data centers. Each region represents a distinct area, often encompassing multiple data centers, that hosts cloud resources and services. These regions are strategically selected to reduce latency, improve redundancy, and comply with local data laws and regulations. By choosing a region closer to the end-users or their target audience, businesses can achieve faster data transfer rates and better application performance. Additionally, adhering to regional data sovereignty laws is crucial for companies handling sensitive information, making the choice of region an important consideration in cloud infrastructure planning.&lt;/p></description></item><item><title>Fleet configuration</title><link>https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/cloud-infrastructure/fleet-configuration/</link><pubDate>Sat, 17 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://cloudfleet.ai/docs/cloud-infrastructure/fleet-configuration/</guid><description>&lt;p>Fleets represent cloud accounts connected to a CFKE cluster.
