ChatLoopBackOff Episode 69: Logging Operator

In this episode, CNCF Ambassador Paige Cruz gets hands-on with the Logging Operator, a CNCF Sandbox project that streamlines log management on Kubernetes. By wrapping Fluentd and Fluent Bit collectors in a Kubernetes-native API, it lets you declare log flows as standard resources—no more custom scripts or hand-rolled configs.

Logging Operator makes observability feel right at home in your cluster workflows, offering pipelines, CRDs, and docs for contributors and adopters. If you’re curious about Kubernetes-first automation, emerging CNCF tools, or just love tinkering with logging pipelines, this deep dive is your ticket to see where the project might head next.
