K8gb becomes a CNCF incubating project
↗
K8gb, an open-source Kubernetes-native global server load balancer, has been promoted to CNCF incubating status.
For engineers running multi-cluster Kubernetes deployments, K8gb removes the need for proprietary GSLB appliances or cloud-vendor lock-in. The project’s CNCF incubation signals a stable, vendor-neutral API that can now be adopted without fear of sudden deprecation. Teams already using CoreDNS and ExternalDNS will find the integration cost minimal, while those without GSLB gain a new resilience option at the DNS layer.

K8gb provides declarative, Kubernetes-native global traffic routing and failover across clusters and regions.
The project integrates with CNCF-graduated components CoreDNS and ExternalDNS, reducing setup friction for existing users.
Incubation status means the API is now stable enough for production use, backed by CNCF governance and security audits.
