Are you a bystander in your own financial journey? Do you feel yourself being swept away by the crowd when it comes to determining your financial future? Dave and Reb challenge listeners to question the time and energy that is spent listening to social media and addictions instead of listening to God. On episode #497 of “Let's Talk Money with Dave and Reb”, the co-hosts encourage returning to the scriptural mandates of serving and honouring God with our money rather than moving with the crowd away from what we are called to. Today's episode is sponsored by the Canadian National Christian Foundation which helps Canadians connect God's money with God's work.

In this episode of the Joe Reis Show, I sit down with David Aronchick, co-founder of Expanso and one of the early pioneers behind Kubernetes, Kubeflow, and the CNCF. We dive deep into the evolving data landscape and discuss why the architectural pendulum is swinging back from pure cloud centralization toward distributed edge compute. David breaks down the real operational nightmares of edge data collection, why treating your bronze tier as a "toxic waste dump" breaks downstream pipelines, and how applying schema and context upstream makes your data truly AI-ready. We also get into the critical need for data provenance, data bills of materials, and what agents actually need to communicate reliably.Website: https://expanso.io

SUMMARY: This episode is the second part and explores the flip side of OSS models. Last episode, we discussed the potential decline; this episode, we'll talk about the potential positive future of OSS models. Aaron and Brandon explore the future of open source AI models, the role of industry consortia, and how major tech companies like NVIDIA, Apple, and Google are shaping the AI landscape. They discuss the potential for open models to become industry standards and the strategic motivations behind these moves.SHOW: 1054SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Enterprise AI Show #1054 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/w238Y1ZKG1QSHOW SPONSORS:Nasuni - Activate your data for AI and request a demo Topic: Are we seeing the end of OSS models?Why now?

I think the DB market is the closest parallel here, and it's also where the most OSS rug pulls have happened in the past. Is this history repeating itself, but also a lesson learned because so many DB companies got burned?Future: Someone will have to donate a trillion+ parameter model to a foundation.

Ronald and Jan talk with Peter O'Neill and Boris Kurktchiev from Teleport about their talk "Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Why Reverse Proxies Beat VPNs." Both guests bring deep networking and security backgrounds, from early desktop support and Slackware days to leading Teleport's solutions engineering and CNCF community work.The core argument: traditional VPNs grant broad network access once a user authenticates, creating large lateral movement risk with little to no granular control or auditing. Peter and Boris propose replacing that model with an identity layer using OIDC and a reverse proxy (Envoy), authenticated via an identity provider like Keycloak. Instead of trusting users based on network location, every connection is signed and validated against intent, who is accessing what, and why.They walk through how this works in practice (SSH access, internal apps, audit logging that captures actual user identity instead of just status codes) and discuss trade-offs: more endpoints to manage, added resource and scaling costs, and real implementation complexity at enterprise scale. Boris is candid that VPNs aren't dead, they still serve as a useful front gate, but shouldn't be the only layer of defense.The conversation also touches on how AI agents on a network expose the weaknesses of old identity assumptions, since AI will scan and probe everything it can reach unless access is explicitly scoped. The episode closes with both guests' hopes for the future of Kubernetes and CNCF: more community involvement in AI-related working groups, and more regional KubeCon-style events outside the usual hubs.Stuur ons een bericht.ACC ICT Specialist in IT-CONTINUÏTEIT Bedrijfskritische applicaties én data veilig beschikbaar, onafhankelijk van derden, altijd en overalSupport the showLike and subscribe!

Jesus tells us we cannot serve both God and mammon, yet often this is interpreted to see money itself as evil. In discussion with Rev. Ray Borg, Dave and Reb dive into what it means to be a slave to mammon and what financial freedom looks like when living out God's purpose for our lives. On episode #491 of “Let's Talk Money with Dave and Reb”, the co hosts ask themselves the question, ‘what does it mean for me to give everything to God?'.

I still hear people say, “OpenTelemetry is vendor-neutral, so you can switch any time!”In this episode, Adriana Villela and Josh Lee (both active OpenTelemetry contributors) help bust that myth.While OTel standardizes instrumentation and signal transport—and unlocks a rich ecosystem of tools—switching vendors isn't as simple as it sounds. There's real cost in retraining engineers, migrating dashboards, SLOs, and alerts, and reworking deep integrations across your delivery pipeline.We also dive into a key challenge the community is tackling: helping engineers instrument by value, not by default—making it easier to capture the right signals with high quality instead of just collecting everything.Here the links we discussed:Adriana's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrianavillela/Josh's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuamlee/The blog article: https://thenewstack.io/opentelemetry-vendor-neutrality-guide/CND Austria Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gxLseuaTdMKCD Prague Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPXG20CXKxQOpenTelemetry Project Website: https://opentelemetry.io/

In this episode of Alexa's Input (AI), I sit down with David Aronchick, co-founder and CEO of Expanso and former product lead for Kubernetes at Google.Data is growing everywhere outside your data center. Solar panels in remote across a country. Security cameras at retail stores. IoT sensors across factory floors. And moving that data to the cloud for processing? It's expensive, slow, and often restricted by compliance.David is an expert when it comes to solving distribution problems. He led Kubernetes product at Google, co-founded Kubeflow to bring ML to production, and now he's building Expanso to tackle a difficult constraint: when your data can't move, how do you process it where it lives?We discuss:- The need for distributed data orchestration-Upstream data control: filtering and transforming at the source- Three forces making edge computing inevitable (physics, regulations, economics)- How to build successful open source infrastructure projects- Customer discovery and finding real pain points- His transition from Protocol Labs to founding Expanso- ETL pipelines: moving the first four steps closer to the data- Context loss and lineage in distributed systems- Processing 400,000 signals per second with 150MB agents- AI observability: attaching source metadata to training data- Running ML pipelines at the edge- Real-world deployment challenges (bandwidth, regulations, cost)Expanso is rethinking how we process data in an AI-native world—moving compute to data instead of data to compute. If you want to understand where distributed systems and edge computing are heading, this is a deep dive into the infrastructure layer beneath modern AI applications.General Podcast LinksWatch: https://www.youtube.com/@alexa_griffith Read: https://alexasinput.substack.com/ Listen: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/alexagriffith/ More: https://linktr.ee/alexagriffithLearn more about the host atWebsite: https://alexagriffith.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexa-griffith/Find out more about the guest atLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aronchick/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/aronchick GitHub: https://github.com/aronchick Expanso Website: https://expanso.io/ResourcesExpanso Website: https://expanso.io/ Kubernetes: https://kubernetes.io/ Kubeflow: https://www.kubeflow.org/ CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation): https://www.cncf.io/ Protocol Labs: https://protocol.ai/KeywordsDavid Aronchick, Expanso, Kubernetes, Kubeflow, distributed systems, edge computing, data pipelines, ETL, upstream data control, Google Kubernetes Engine, open source, CNCF, observability, log processing, data lineage, provenance, schema enforcement, IoT, edge AI, distributed data, machine learning infrastructure, Protocol Labs, IPFS, Filecoin, data governance, compliance, GDPR, bandwidth optimization, data aggregation, AI infrastructure, multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, real-time processing

In this episode, hosts Ronald and Jan are joined at KubeCon by two guests from Red Hat: Brian Stevens, AI CTO and one of the original architects behind the creation of Kubernetes and the CNCF, and Rob Shaw, co-lead of the vLLM project and maintainer of LMD.Brian shares the remarkable backstory of how Kubernetes came to be open source, including how Red Hat negotiated a single committer seat before agreeing to be a launch partner, and how he later pushed Google to contribute Kubernetes to the newly formed CNCF rather than keeping it proprietary like TensorFlow.Rob explains what an inference runtime actually is: the critical piece of software that takes an abstract AI model and runs it as efficiently as possible on a GPU or other accelerator — handling everything from CUDA-level kernel optimization to memory management and concurrent request scheduling. vLLM serves as a "Rosetta Stone" between the ever-growing zoo of models (Llama, DeepSeek, Mistral, Qwen, Nvidia Nemotron) and accelerators (Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Google TPUs).The conversation covers model compression and quantization how techniques like 4-bit precision can deliver 2x hardware efficiency gains while preserving 99%+ model accuracy. Brian and Rob also address the "big model vs. many small models" debate, recommending to always start with the largest capable model to validate a use case before optimizing down.Looking ahead, both guests see inference as potentially the single largest workload ever run on Kubernetes, and position LMD (now contributed to the CNCF) as the distributed inference layer that will make this possible across heterogeneous accelerator environments  preventing enterprises from ending up with 42 incompatible AI stacks.The episode closes with a discussion on AI slop, human-in-the-loop thinking, and the future of Kubernetes as the universal platform for running AI agents at scale.Powered by  @acc-ict ​Stuur ons een bericht.ACC ICT Specialist in IT-CONTINUÏTEIT Bedrijfskritische applicaties én data veilig beschikbaar, onafhankelijk van derden, altijd en overalSupport the showLike and subscribe!

OpenTelemetry has officially reached CNCF graduation this month, marking a major milestone for one of the most widely adopted open observability projects. In this episode of OpenObservability Talks, we unpack what this graduation really means for the project and for users out there. We also revisit the newest observability signal in OpenTelemetry, Continuous Profiling, which was released in public alpha. We explore where the effort currently stands, the adoption and usage best practices.

In 2011 Heroku defined the 12 factor app to remove emerging bottlenecks as developers tried to scale their output when they moved from building monoliths to microservices. In Platform Engineer we see a repeating pattern called the "8 Factor Platform Producers".  AI allows engineering teams to speed up but they face bottlenecks as platform capabilities are not scaling with that demand as they are often depending on a central platform engineering team to be built and maintained.To learn more about 8 Factor Platform Producers we invited Abby Bangser,  Founding Principal Engineer at Syntasso and CNCF Ambassador. She gave an amazing talk at KubeCon in Amsterdam and today walks us through the need of defining both consumers and producers for platforms to eliminate any emerging bottlenecks in Platform Engineering and allow an organization to reap the benefit of speeding up with AILinks we discussed:Abby's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abbybangser/Abby's Kubecon Keynote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t0-5cvvMGM&list=PLj6h78yzYM2MXCOWSN9CqqID6OOvF7wxL&index=3012 Factor Apps: https://12factor.net/CNCF Whitepaper: https://cloudnativeplatforms.com/whitepapers/platforms/

Dan Ciruli is VP and General Manager of Cloud Native at Nutanix. A computer science graduate of UC Berkeley, Dan spent a decade in engineering before pivoting to product management in 2003, a role that barely had a name when he started. Since then he has held product leadership positions at EMC and Google, where he was part of the team that helped create Kubernetes and open source Google's cloud infrastructure.He was a founding member of the OpenAPI Initiative and a steering committee member for the Istio service mesh project, and has spent the last two decades with one foot in commercial product development and one in the open source community.In this episode, Dan explains why open source is not a charity exercise, how companies actually make money from code they give away for free, and what product managers get wrong when they tell their engineers to avoid it.Key takeaways— Open source is not crowdsourcing from individuals — much of the contribution comes from companies investing on the clock, because broad adoption benefits everyone more than proprietary lock-in.— The CNCF succeeded because it created a neutral space where the largest and smallest organisations felt equally safe contributing and consuming. That structure — not the code itself — is what made cloud native computing universal.— Being a product manager in open source requires the same core instinct as any other PM role: understanding the why. The difference is that your engineers may work for a competitor, and your roadmap is not entirely yours to control.— AI is multiplying the capability of both good actors and bad actors in open source security. The answer is not to slow adoption but to keep a credible human in the loop — someone with accumulated trust, judgement and accountability.— Before open sourcing your own work, be clear on how your company will make money, articulate it concisely for leadership, and then find at least one other organisation — even a competitor — willing to join you. A consortium signals a standard. A solo release signals a gamble.Chapters1:16 — From engineering to product management3:11 — Bridging open source and commercial work5:05 — The origin of Kubernetes at Google6:35 — How Nutanix embraces open source7:16 — The crowdsourcing misconception8:51 — Why the CNCF changed everything11:25 — Building a defensible moat in open source12:13 — The business models behind free code14:18 — Managing roadmaps you don't fully control15:04 — When your competitor writes your code16:04 — The CEO who wore his secrets around his neck18:13 — Developing an open source strategy19:37 — The one question every PM must ask22:44 — What is the CNCF?23:34 — AI, open source and the security arms race29:45 — Chop wood, carry water: the human in the loop31:48 — Advice for PMs running open source products33:15 — Harnessing a community you don't manage34:38 — Should you open source your own work?36:35 — How messy does it really get?39:33 — Linux is an anti-patternOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

Agentic AI is advancing rapidly, with open-source projects racing to keep pace with real-world deployment. To accelerate progress, the Linux Foundation consolidated key technologies—Model Context Protocol (MCP), Goose, and AGENTS.md—under the newly formed Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) in late 2025. At the MCP Dev Summit in New York City, Linux Foundation CEO Jim Zemlin and newly appointed AAIF executive director Mazin Gilbert discussed this transition. Zemlin explained that leading both organizations was unsustainable, prompting a careful search for a leader with both technical expertise and collaborative leadership skills. Gilbert now takes on the challenge of guiding AAIF as it shapes the emerging agentic AI ecosystem. While the foundation currently oversees three projects, its broader mission involves defining the future architecture of agent-driven systems—deciding what to build, when, and why. These decisions will influence the trajectory of open-source AI development. The conversation also highlights the importance of open collaboration, funding dynamics, and early adopters in shaping the agentic stack's evolution.   Learn more from The New Stack around the latest in open-source projects and The Linux Foundation:  Anthropic Donates the MCP Protocol to the Agentic AI Foundation SAFE-MCP, a Community-Built Framework for AI Agent Security Google Donates the Agent2Agent Protocol to the Linux Foundation Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

Keep the Raccoons Out: Service Mesh, MCP, and Securing Agentic Workloads With William Morgan, CEO of Buoyant and creator of Linkerd Linkerd just turned 10, so we brought on the person who built it and coined the term “service mesh” in the first place. William Morgan joins Jonathan and Justin to talk about where service mesh came from, where it’s going, and the very specific kind of chaos that agentic AI is about to unleash on anyone who owns a Kubernetes cluster. The short version: lock your doors, because the raccoons are coming. “Our job is basically to make Linkerd as boring as possible.” William traces Linkerd’s origins back to Twitter’s infrastructure work between 2010 and 2014, when a Ruby on Rails monolith turned into a sprawling distributed system — the same problems we have today, just a different decade. As the fifth project ever to join the CNCF, Linkerd has had a front-row seat to the ecosystem’s evolution, and William explains why his actual goal these days is to make it as boring as humanly possible: the kind of dependable infrastructure layer you can trust to still be around in another 90 years. That’s also why he’s not adding AI to Linkerd — an infrastructure layer has to be fast, lightweight, and predictable, and generative AI is the opposite of all three. “At some point your agentic workload is going to figure out how to delete the production database. And it’s going to try it.” The heart of the conversation is what the AI wave means for the platform teams who own the clusters. Developers just got an army of AI assistants, and that has real consequences for CI/CD, code quality, and blast radius. William digs into the boundary problem — agentic workloads are untrusted but need access to your most important systems — and why zero trust has suddenly stopped being optional now that the code hitting your database no longer clears peer review and a security committee. Along the way they get into cache-aware routing that can take a 13-second inference call down to one, the still-unsolved mess of agentic identity, and why we keep anthropomorphizing these tools and letting our guard down. “If you don’t use Linkerd, your data system will be overrun by raccoons.” Finally, they turn to MCP — building a catalog of MCP servers, detecting tool calls, and adding DLP-style protection in front of the services an agent never sees. But William’s real point is that MCP is something of a red herring for a much older problem: uncontrolled access to your APIs. Whatever protocol you use, once an unconstrained workload is loose in your environment, you need an immune system to keep it in check. Links and resources: Linkerd:

Kubernetes is rapidly emerging as the de facto operating system for AI, with two-thirds of organizations using it for generative AI inference and 82% adopting it in production. Its ecosystem — including tools like Kubeflow — enables organizations to build, scale, and retain control of AI systems through open, community-driven infrastructure. Bob Killen of CNCF and Liam Bollmann-Dodd of SlashData shared insights from recent reports showing that AI success still hinges on strong engineering fundamentals—especially internal developer platforms and overall developer experience. While AI-generated code accelerates development, it shifts bottlenecks to DevOps, reliability, and security, increasing operational complexity. As a result, operator experience and well-defined guardrails have become critical to safely scaling AI. These controls help constrain both human and AI developers, reducing risk while enabling speed. At the same time, organizations are evolving team structures, expanding platform engineering groups to support internal users more effectively. Despite growing complexity, the core lesson remains consistent: open source innovation thrives on people, processes, and collaboration as much as on technology itself.

Broadcom continues to expand its role as a major contributor to cloud-native open source, particularly within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) ecosystem. Its recent donation of Velero—originally developed by VMware—to the CNCF Sandbox reflects a strategic move to foster broader community trust and collaboration. By shifting governance away from vendor control, Broadcom aims to position Velero as a truly community-driven data protection standard for Kubernetes environments, encouraging wider adoption and contribution.  At the same time, the company is reinforcing its position as a full-stack Kubernetes provider across both cloud-native and private cloud environments. Despite Kubernetes' dominance, many organizations still struggle with its complexity. Broadcom is addressing this by focusing on lifecycle management, long-term support, and deep integration with existing infrastructure like vSphere.  In a podcast recorded at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026, Dilpreet Bindra emphasized that open source success comes not just from code contributions, but also from relinquishing control to empower the broader ecosystem and drive sustainable innovation.  Learn more from The New Stack about the latest developments around Velero:  Broadcom donates Velero to CNCF — and it could reshape how Kubernetes users handle backup and disaster recovery  How AI Search Is Supporting Artistic Freedom  Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game. 

Graduating within the CNCF marks a major milestone for an open source project, signaling not just technical maturity but strong governance, security practices, and widespread adoption. Kyverno, a Kubernetes policy engine, reached this stage after five years — becoming only the 35th project to progress from sandbox to graduation. As co-founder Jim Bugwadia explains, incubation reflects production readiness and adoption, while graduation validates the project's long-term sustainability and governance rigor. Originally built to help teams manage Kubernetes complexity through declarative policies, Kyverno has evolved alongside the ecosystem. Its shift to the Kubernetes-native Common Expression Language (CEL) and rising demand driven by AI workloads have expanded its user base beyond regulated industries to mainstream enterprises. With over three billion downloads, it underscores the growing need for automated policy enforcement across development, security, and operations teams. Commercially, Nirmata maintains a clear boundary between open source and enterprise offerings, focusing on remediation and advanced management. While only 2–5% of users convert, that small percentage becomes meaningful at Kyverno's scale.

#347: Andrei Kvapil has been around Kubernetes since the early days. Contributor to Cilium, Kubevirt, and a handful of other projects you probably use without realizing it. He is also the maintainer of Cozystack, a CNCF sandbox project, and the CEO of Aenix, the company behind it. The thesis: Kubernetes should be boring. Not exciting, not cutting-edge, not the thing everyone argues about. Boring like the Linux kernel is boring. Something that sits underneath everything and nobody needs to think about. Viktor takes it one step further and says it should be invisible -- developers should never need to know Kubernetes exists, any more than they need to know what kernel their laptop is running. Cozystack is Andrei's answer to a specific problem. ISPs, banks, finops shops, anyone in Europe who cannot or will not put their data in AWS -- they all want to offer managed databases, managed Kubernetes, object storage, the whole stack. Building that from scratch is hard. Running OpenStack requires a dedicated team that does nothing but tune networking. Cozystack bundles the pieces (Kubevirt, CloudNative Postgres, Cilium, etc) into one product with an aggregation API layer on top of Kubernetes itself. Helm becomes the extension language. The platform becomes a product. Then the conversation takes a turn. Andrei is the CEO of a bootstrapped company and he says flatly that without AI the company would not exist. Claude Code is moving Kanban cards. Clients send files generated by their AI agent and Aenix feeds those files to their AI agent to generate the response. Andrei's only wish is for this middle step -- him -- to stop existing. Let the agents talk to each other and call him when something actually matters. There is a hiring question in here too. If the next generation of engineers starts their career with AI on the first commit, do they ever build the mental model that lets them guide the agent when it goes wrong? Andrei thinks you still need deep understanding for anything serious. Viktor agrees. Speed versus quality is still a choice, and juniors who skip the "write it three times until it stops being garbage" phase are going to feel that gap eventually.   Andrei's contact information: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kvaps/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

Running AI models on Kubernetes has historically been inconsistent, with workloads behaving differently across cloud providers due to variations in GPUs, networking, and autoscaling. As organizations move AI from experimentation to production, standardization has become critical. In this episode of The New Stack Makers, Jonathan Bryce, Executive Director of The Cloud Native Computing Foundation shared that the Foundation's Kubernetes AI conformance program aims to solve this by ensuring portability, predictability, and production readiness for AI workloads across environments. The initiative reflects a broader industry shift: AI is moving from training-heavy workloads to inference at scale, with inference expected to dominate compute usage by the end of the decade. Unlike batch-based training, inference requires real-time, always-on performance, making Kubernetes an attractive platform due to its elasticity, GPU-aware autoscaling, and observability. The conformance program establishes baseline standards for handling accelerators like GPUs and TPUs, reducing vendor lock-in and simplifying deployment. Early adopters include major cloud providers and ecosystem players, while new projects like llm-d aim to bridge orchestration and inference. As requirements evolve, ongoing collaboration and recertification will ensure the standards stay aligned with real-world needs.

#344: Kubernetes is boring now. That's the whole point. KubeCon EU 2026 in Amsterdam -- likely the biggest KubeCon ever at more than 13,000 attendees -- made one thing extremely clear: the container orchestrator is done being interesting on its own. Every keynote, every new sandbox project, every vendor announcement pointed the same direction. AI. Inference. Agents. NVIDIA donated a DRA driver for GPUs to CNCF. Google open-sourced their cluster autoscaler and shipped a DRA driver for TPUs. Red Hat brought LLM-D for disaggregated inference. NVIDIA contributed the KAI Scheduler for AI workloads. The Gateway API now has an inference extension in beta -- model routing baked directly into the Kubernetes networking layer. And here's the thing Whitney pointed out that should make everyone pause: you can't even run inference workloads in containers. They can escape. You need micro VMs. So the container orchestrator is orchestrating things that aren't containers. The platform engineering conversation shifted too. The bottleneck isn't technology anymore -- it's culture. Getting teams to work together differently. And if your company can't trust its own employees to make decisions, good luck trusting agents. Viktor's take on the determinism objection was blunt: agents aren't deterministic, but neither are you. You just think you are. One thread that kept surfacing: agents as first-class platform users. Not agents doing agent things -- agents as the users your platform serves. Viktor sees it in real time -- pull requests created by agents, reviewed by his Claude, responses written by the submitter's agent. Humans aren't even in the conversation anymore. The new CNCF sandbox projects tell the story too. LLM-D, KAI Scheduler, Higress (AI-native gateway). And then Velero -- the Kubernetes backup tool that everyone assumed was already CNCF -- finally donated by Broadcom. Which raises a fair question: is CNCF becoming a dumping ground for projects companies don't want to maintain? Probably some of both. Viktor compared the current state to the first five years of Kubernetes -- everyone focused on low-level components, trying to figure out how to combine 57 different tools. The next wave will be higher-level platforms that bundle all of it. And somewhere underneath it all, the mainframe keeps running. Viktor's bet: it'll outlive AI.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact

I talk with David Flanagan, aka Rawkode, about his new opinionated Tech Matrix that helps you navigate the overwhelming CNCF landscape. https://rawkode.academy/technology/matrix

Chris Aniszczyk, co-founder and CTO of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), argues that AI agents resemble microservices at a surface level, though they differ in how they are scaled and managed. In an interview ahead of KubeCon/CloudNativeCon Europe, he emphasized that being “AI native” requires being cloud native by default. Cloud-native technologies such as containers, microservices, Kubernetes, gRPC, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry provide the scalability, resilience, and observability needed to support AI systems at scale. Aniszczyk noted that major AI platforms like ChatGPT and Claude already rely on Kubernetes and other CNCF projects.To address growing complexity in running generative and agentic AI workloads, the CNCF has launched efforts to extend its conformance programs to AI. New requirements—such as dynamic resource allocation for GPUs and TPUs and specialized networking for inference workloads—are being handled inconsistently across the industry. CNCF aims to establish a baseline of compatibility to ensure vendor neutrality. Aniszczyk also highlighted CNCF incubation projects like Metal³ for bare-metal Kubernetes and OpenYurt for managing edge-based Kubernetes deployments. Learn more from The New Stack about CNCF and what to expect in 2026:Why the CNCF's New Executive Director Is Obsessed With InferenceCNCF Dragonfly Speeds Container, Model Sharing with P2PJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

#326: Microservices architecture has evolved far beyond simple distributed systems, but most development teams are still rebuilding the same foundational patterns over and over again. Mark Fussell, co-founder of Dapr and Diagrid, explains how his team at Microsoft identified this repetitive reinvention problem and created a solution that abstracts away the complexity of service discovery, messaging, state management, and security while providing true cloud portability. Dapr emerged from Microsoft's Azure incubations team with a clear mission: stop forcing developers to rebuild distributed systems patterns from scratch. The runtime provides standardized APIs for common microservices needs while allowing teams to swap underlying infrastructure components without changing application code. Whether using Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, or cloud-native messaging services, developers write against consistent APIs while platform teams maintain control over infrastructure choices. The conversation covers Dapr's journey from Microsoft internal project to CNCF graduated status, the technical decisions behind its multi-language approach, and how it integrates with existing frameworks like Spring Boot and .NET. Mark also discusses Diagrid's platform play around durable workflows and the emerging role of Dapr in AI agent development. Darin and Viktor explore the practical adoption challenges, the balance between developer productivity and platform engineering concerns, and why experienced developers tend to embrace abstraction layers more readily than those building their first distributed systems.   Mark's contact information: X: https://x.com/mfussell LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mfussell/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

#325: KubeCon NA 2025 wrapped in Atlanta with unseasonably cold weather and some significant shifts in the cloud native ecosystem. The conference showed fewer vendors backing CNCF projects on the show floor, with key concerns emerging around maintainer burnout—exemplified by NGINX Ingress being deprecated despite running on 40% of Kubernetes clusters worldwide. The event revealed a maturing ecosystem where AI moved from buzzword to operational reality, with focus shifting toward conformance standards, security policies, and enterprise readiness rather than the hype cycle of previous years. The discussions revealed a consolidation pattern where larger corporations like AWS, Microsoft, and Google are increasingly the only ones who can sustain open source project maintenance. Startups and smaller companies face difficult choices: maintain existing revenue streams, pivot entirely to AI, or attempt both and fail at both. Meanwhile, AI adoption in the ops space remains behind other sectors, with developers emerging as the primary buyers for AI tooling—a shift that's reshaping go-to-market strategies across vendors. Platform engineering continues as a parallel major theme, focusing on operationalizing infrastructure at scale.   Whitney's contact information: X: https://x.com/wiggitywhitney LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/whitneylee/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/
