In this episode, we debrief several industry events I went to last year, including Supercomputing, KubeCon, Stack, the AI Infrastructure Show, and the Red Hat AI Infrastructure Summit. We dive deep into some observations from the shows and what they tell us about the gaps and fractures in how we are working to build AI infrastructure. We focus on how observability is being used for evaluation, tuning, performance issues, GPU dropouts, and cluster management, while anomaly detection and root cause analysis remain less common, and we note that networking is still underserved. We also get into the shift from building clusters to observing and fixing them after deployment, especially for agentic systems, and we end by highlighting the need for observability across application, identity, networking, and infrastructure layers.

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!

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/

In this episode ofThe New Stack Makers, Jesse Butler, principal product manager for AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service, shares his vision for simplifying cloud-native computing. Since joining AWS in 2020, Butler has focused on making Kubernetes easier to use, emphasizing open-source as a democratizing force. He highlights the role of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in standardizing and governing open ecosystems while balancing community-driven innovation with commercial contributions. Butler describes Kubernetes as widely adopted—used in production by around 80% of enterprises—yet still overly complex. His goal is to make it “invisible,” much like Linux, by abstracting and consolidating services. He points to projects like Karpenter, which enables real-time node provisioning for efficient scaling; Kro, which simplifies resource orchestration; and Cedar, a flexible policy engine for fine-grained authorization. He underscores the importance of open-source contributors, noting their critical yet often underappreciated role. Looking ahead, Butler envisions a future where automation and human collaboration further enhance usability and innovation in open-source software.

#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.

At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026, Lena Hall and Thorsten Hans of Akamai outlined how the company is evolving from a CDN provider into a developer-focused cloud platform for AI. Akamai's strategy centers on low-latency, distributed computing, combining managed Kubernetes, serverless functions, and a distributed AI inference platform to support modern workloads. With a global footprint of core and “distributed reach” datacenters, Akamai aims to bring compute closer to users while still leveraging centralized infrastructure for heavier processing. This hybrid model enables faster feedback loops critical for applications like fraud detection, robotics, and conversational AI. To address concerns about complexity, Akamai emphasizes managed infrastructure and self-service tools that abstract away integration challenges. Its platform supports open source through managed Kubernetes and pre-packaged tools, simplifying deployment. Akamai also invests in serverless technologies like WebAssembly-based functions, enabling developers to build and deploy globally distributed applications quickly. Overall, the company prioritizes developer experience, allowing teams to focus on application logic rather than infrastructure management. Learn more from The New Stack about the latest developments around how Akamai is transforming to a developer-focused cloud platform for AI.

As more organizations move to use OpenTelemetry in production at scale, with multiple Collectors across heterogeneous environments, a new challenge arises: how to remotely manage, configure, and update this agent fleet in a consistent and secure way?This is where Open Agent Management Protocol (OpAMP) comes into the picture: it provides a standardized protocol that lets a central backend automatically configure agents, push updates, monitor their health, and collect status information. In this episode Horovits hosts Andy Keller, OpAMP Maintainer and Principal Engineer at Bindplane, to discuss how OpAMP makes large-scale observability deployments much easier to operate and control. Andy shares the project status, including hot KubeCon update you don't want to miss.You can read the recap post: https://medium.com/p/737b6af8222b/Show Notes:00:00 - intro02:01 - why OpAMP mission statement04:29 - types of OpenTelemetry Collector fleet deployments06:49 - from configuration management to observability 10:23 - OpAMP for Kubernetes 15:58 - OpAMP protocol and components26:54 - OpAMP for remote management of OTel Java SDK and other agents 33:38 - server implementations for OpAMP36:33 - adopter vendors and end-users 39:14 - project maturity42:59 - protocol vs. product47:55 - OpAMP Gateway launch 51:10 - Scale of OTel Collector deployments54:56 - OpAMP roadmap59:12 - where to follow the project and Andy1:02:34 - outroResources:OpAMP specification: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/opamp/ OpAMP for OpenTelemetry Collector: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/blob/main/cmd/opampsupervisor/specification/README.md Nike talk at KubeCon on using OpAMP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J68ThM9DqQ0 OpAMP Gateway Extension - launch blog: https://bindplane.com/blog/opamp-for-opentelemetry-managing-collector-fleets-and-introducing-the-new-opamp-gateway-extension Socials:Dotan Horovits============X (Twitter): @horovitsLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/horovitsMastodon: @horovits@fosstodonBlueSky: @horovits.bsky.socialAndy Keller==========X (Twitter): @andykellrLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewjkeller/BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/openobservability.bsky.socialX (Twitter): https://x.com/OpenObservLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/openobservability/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@openobservabilitytalksOpenObservability Talks episodes are released monthly, on the last Thursday of each month and are available for listening on your favorite podcast app and on YouTube.
Ari Zilka, founder of MyDecisive.ai and former Hortonworks CPO, argues that most observability vendors now offer essentially identical, reactive dashboards that highlight problems only after systems are already broken. After speaking with all 23 observability vendors at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025, Zilka said these tools fail to meaningfully reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR), a long-standing demand he heard repeatedly from thousands of CIOs during his time at New Relic.Zilka believes observability must shift from reactive monitoring to proactive operations, where systems automatically respond to telemetry in real time. MyDecisive.ai is his attempt to solve this, acting as a “bump in the wire” that intercepts telemetry and uses AI-driven logic to trigger actions like rolling back faulty releases.He also criticized the rising cost and complexity of OpenTelemetry adoption, noting that many companies now require large, specialized teams just to maintain OTel stacks. MyDecisive aims to turn OpenTelemetry into an enterprise-ready service that reduces human intervention and operational overhead.Learn more from The New Stack about OpenTelemetry:Observability Is Stuck in the Past.

At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2025 in Atlanta, the panel of experts - Kate Goldenring of Fermyon Technologies, Idit Levine of Solo.io, Shaun O'Meara of Mirantis, Sean O'Dell of Dynatrace and James Harmison of Red Hat - explored whether the cloud native era has evolved into an AI native era — and what that shift means for infrastructure, security and development practices. Jonathan Bryce of the CNCF argued that true AI-native systems depend on robust inference layers, which have been overshadowed by the hype around chatbots and agents. As organizations push AI to the edge and demand faster, more personalized experiences, Fermyon's Kate Goldenring highlighted WebAssembly as a way to bundle and securely deploy models directly to GPU-equipped hardware, reducing latency while adding sandboxed security.Dynatrace's Sean O'Dell noted that AI dramatically increases observability needs: integrating LLM-based intelligence adds value but also expands the challenge of filtering massive data streams to understand user behavior. Meanwhile, Mirantis CTO Shaun O'Meara emphasized a return to deeper infrastructure awareness. Unlike abstracted cloud native workloads, AI workloads running on GPUs require careful attention to hardware performance, orchestration, and energy constraints. Managing power-hungry data centers efficiently, he argued, will be a defining challenge of the AI native era.Learn more from The New Stack about evolving cloud native ecosystem to an AI native eraCloud Native and AI: Why Open Source Needs Standards Like MCPA Decade of Cloud Native: From CNCF, to the Pandemic, to AICrossing the AI Chasm: Lessons From the Early Days of CloudJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

Generative AI is everywhere, but how do we monitor and observe it? OpenTelemetry has been a prominent tool and standard for observability, and recently the OTel community has been aiming to expand its scope and cover GenAI workloads with semantic conventions and tools.In this episode, Horovits is joined by Nir Gazit, creator of the OpenLLMetry project, and member of the OpenTelemetry Generative AI SIG. We discuss new semantic conventions, tracing prompts and model behavior, the OpenLLMetry project's journey, and what observability even means for modern AI systems.Nir Gazit is the CEO and co-founder of Traceloop, and brings a wealth of data and AI experience, with previous experience leading AI teams at Google and serving as the Chief Architect at Fiverr.You can read the recap post: https://medium.com/p/81b9cea6a771/Show Notes:00:00 - intro 04:09 - what is observability for AI18:07 - AI observability differences from traditional observability25:22 - OpenLLMetry intro41:21 - OpenLLMetry latest updates and roadmap47:00 - OpenTelemetry GenAI Semantic Conventions SIG56:03 - KubeCon updates: CrossPlane, Knative, Dragonfly, in-toto reached CNCF graduation 1:00:08 - outroResources:OpenTelemetry Generative AI Observability SIG: https://github.com/open-telemetry/community/blob/1c71595874e5d125ca92ec3b0e948c4325161c8a/projects/llm-semconv.mdhttps://github.com/traceloop/openllmetryhttps://github.com/traceloop/hubhttps://github.com/traceloop/opentelemetry-mcp-serverSocials:BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/openobservability.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/OpenObservLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/openobservability/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@openobservabilitytalksDotan Horovits============Twitter: @horovitsLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/horovitsMastodon: @horovits@fosstodonBlueSky: @horovits.bsky.socialNir Gazit========Twitter: https://x.com/nir_gaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nirga/OpenObservability Talks episodes are released monthly, on the last Thursday of each month and are available for listening on your favorite podcast app and on YouTube.

Thank you to the folks at Sustain (https://sustainoss.org/) for providing the hosting account for CHAOSSCast! CHAOSScast – Episode 120 In this episode of CHAOSScast, Harmony Elendu hosts a discussion with Dawn Foster and Bob Killen to discuss their extensive experience in open source and detail the motivations behind the creation of the CHAOSS Practitioner Guides. These guides aim to help practitioners navigate the overwhelming amount of data related to open source projects and understand how to improve project health and sustainability. The discussion covers strategies for communicating the business value of open source efforts to leadership, framing contributions in a way that resonates with organizational priorities, and prioritizing investments in critical projects. Press download now! [00:00:31] Dawn and Bob introduce themselves and their backgrounds. [00:02:24] Dawn explains why CHAOSS created Practitioner Guides: to help navigate the “tsunami of data” from open source metrics. The new guide is different and is focused on demonstrating organizational value. [00:04:36] Harmony asks about the inspiration for the guide. Dawn credits Bob and how the guide was built largely from his talks at KubeCon and the Linux Foundation Member Summit. [00:05:22] Bob talks about macroeconomic pressures where open source is often first cut. The guide helps orgs tell compelling stories to leadership about open source ROI. [00:07:14] Bob shares a case study: maintainers reframed contributions in leadership's language- revenue impact, bug fix turnaround, and resource efficiency and how this secured leadership support. Dawn adds that every organization values different things and provides an example. [00:11:36] Bob introduces the formula: Priority = Criticality x Health. [00:13:36] Dawn emphasizes formula helps orgs prioritize strategically critical but under-resourced projects (example: Kubernetes cluster API at VMware). Bob notes criticality differs by company and even department. [00:16:51] Harmony ask how to report open source value to leadership. Bob explains the importance of framing in leadership's language, not just raw contribution counts. Dawn warns against poor framing and explains about being careful about how you talk to leadership about your open source efforts. Value Adds (Picks) of the week: [00:20:47] Dawn's pick is discovery how easy it was to build a static site with GitHub Pages and Jekyll. [00:21:38] Bob's pick is dosu.dev. [00:22:18] Harmony's pick is exploring AI models for fraud detection and system tracking.

The annual gathering on infrastructure virtualization that is the VMware by Broadcom Explore conference has wrapped up and there are important takeaways from both the formal program and informal discussions. Analysts Jean Atelsek, Henry Baltazar and William Fellows join host Eric Hanselman to talk about their takes on the event. The newly integrated VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 (VCF) suite has shipped and along with it a new approach to the product portfolio. AI-focused capabilities have been added as VMware aims to create a private cloud portfolio to rival the public cloud offerings. Higher level data services are the first service abstractions available, with the promise of more to come. In the new organizational structure, the Tanzu product offering is now in its own division in Broadcom. While that offers it independence, it's also meant that in areas like AI functionality, there is some overlap between it and AI capabilities being built into VCF 9. The larger challenge for Broadcom is to motivate customers to fully implement VCF 9 and put all of its capabilities to work.

Cloud native patterns and open source developments were on display at the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe conference. The biannual gathering was showing how the container ecosystem continues to mature and analysts Jean Atelsek and William Fellows join host Eric Hanselman to explore their insights. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), part of the Linux Foundation, continues to expand the event and advance the maturity of the open source projects that are part of its purview. Day 2 operations have been gaining focus and the pre-conference FinOps X event was an indication of the emphasis on operational controls as it digs into infrastructure cost management. The opening “Day 0” events at KubeCon, which have been the forum for specialized project meetings, have become a key part of the conference, with over 6,000 attendees, almost half of the reported 13,000 total. The Kubernetes container management project is now over ten years old and one of the other signs of technology evolution was the integration of the OpenInfra Foundation, which managed the OpenStack project and other infrastructure elements, into the Linux Foundation. Open source projects are gaining wider adoption and one of the messages from projects and vendors at KubeCon, was the hope that it could offer alternatives to enterprise infrastructure stalwart, VMware. The CNCF is expanding its investments in improving security across the projects under its umbrella. There was also continued development of platform engineering initiatives. Bounding the expanding world of open source projects to create consistent development and operational tool chains for enterprise is one more sign of maturity in the container world.

Give everyone a quick introduction.Topic 2 - Our topic today is virtualizing Kubernetes. Let's get the most obvious question out of the way… Why virtualize k8s? Isn't this another abstraction layer to manage and more complexity in the stack?Topic 3 - What are the most common use cases? Combining test/dev and production? Topic 4 - How does this impact other parts of the stack? I think about Istio, Rancher, etc. Does the complexity increase or decrease?Topic 4a - How is the control plane handled vs. the data plane?Topic 5 - With vm virtualization, a trend developed as the technology matured. In the beginning, consolidation was good, and as the technology supported greater and greater density, a tipping point was reached where fault domains were needed. Where is the virtualization of K8s on this scale?Topic 6 - A few months ago at KubeCon in Salt Lake City, you announced vCluster Cloud.

It's been a couple of years since the last time you were on. Great to have you back. For anyone that didn't listen to that show, or doesn't know you, give us a quick update on your background. Topic 2 - Let's begin by talking about the Web Assembly community and the work around the open source project. Where does it stand today, what are the main focus areas? Topic 3 - Fermyon delivers WASM as a PaaS platform and is focused on “serverless” delivery for applications. You've got a background in PaaS; what lessons have we learned about PaaS and what's changed over the years?Topic 4 - A couple years ago, Web Assembly (WASM) was on the short-list of “Hot” topics at KubeCon, even though it just launched. Fast forward to 2024, and it feels like it's hard to get visibility on anything that isn't called AI. How is WASM navigating the CNCF communities these days?Topic 5 - WASM has an interesting relationship with Kubernetes. How do you think about the relationship? What do people get right, and what do they keep getting wrong? Topic 6 - What are some of the interesting use-cases people are using WASM for thess days?
