At Berlin Buzzwords, industry voices highlighted how search is evolving with AI and LLMs.- Kacper Łukawski (Qdrant) stressed hybrid search (semantic + keyword) as core for RAG systems and promoted efficient embedding models for smaller-scale use.- Manish Gill (ClickHouse) discussed auto-scaling OLAP databases on Kubernetes, combining infrastructure and database knowledge.- André Charton (Kleinanzeigen) reflected on scaling search for millions of classifieds, moving from Solr/Elasticsearch toward vector search, while returning to a hands-on technical role.- Filip Makraduli (Superlinked) introduced a vector-first framework that fuses multiple encoders into one representation for nuanced e-commerce and recommendation search.- Brian Goldin (Voyager Search) emphasized spatial context in retrieval, combining geospatial data with AI enrichment to add the “where” to search.- Atita Arora (Voyager Search) highlighted geospatial AI models, the renewed importance of retrieval in RAG, and the cautious but promising rise of AI agents.Together, their perspectives show a common thread: search is regaining center stage in AI—scaling, hybridization, multimodality, and domain-specific enrichment are shaping the next generation of retrieval systems.Kacper Łukawski Senior Developer Advocate at Qdrant, he educates users on vector and hybrid search. He highlighted Qdrant's support for dense and sparse vectors, the role of search with LLMs, and his interest in cost-effective models like static embeddings for smaller companies and edge apps. Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kacperlukawski/Manish Gill Engineering Manager at ClickHouse, he spoke about running ClickHouse on Kubernetes, tackling auto-scaling and stateful sets. His team focuses on making ClickHouse scale automatically in the cloud. He credited its speed to careful engineering and reflected on the shift from IC to manager. Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manishgill/André Charton Head of Search at Kleinanzeigen, he discussed shaping the company's search tech—moving from Solr to Elasticsearch and now vector search with Vespa. Kleinanzeigen handles 60M items, 1M new listings daily, and 50k requests/sec. André explained his career shift back to hands-on engineering. Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrecharton/Filip Makraduli Founding ML DevRel engineer at Superlinked, an open-source framework for AI search and recommendations. Its vector-first approach fuses multiple encoders (text, images, structured fields) into composite vectors for single-shot retrieval. His Berlin Buzzwords demo showed e-commerce search with natural-language queries and filters. Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/filipmakraduli/Brian Goldin Founder and CEO of Voyager Search, which began with geospatial search and expanded into documents and metadata enrichment. Voyager indexes spatial data and enriches pipelines with NLP, OCR, and AI models to detect entities like oil spills or windmills. He stressed adding spatial context (“the where”) as critical for search and highlighted Voyager's 12 years of enterprise experience. Connect: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-goldin-04170a1/Atita Arora Director of AI at Voyager Search, with nearly 20 years in retrieval systems, now focused on geospatial AI for Earth observation data. At Berlin Buzzwords she hosted sessions, attended talks on Lucene, GPUs, and Solr, and emphasized retrieval quality in RAG systems.

In deze aflevering spreken we opnieuw met Tim Stoop, Senior Solutions Architect bij ACC ICT BVTim legt uit hoe je Cluster API technologie het opzetten en beheren van Kubernetes-clusters sterk vereenvoudigt door alles te abstraheren en te automatiseren. Vanuit een zogeheten management cluster kun je eenvoudig workload clusters uitrollen, ongeacht of dat nu op hardware, VMware, of een cloudprovider is.We bespreken de verschillen met tools als kubeadm en Terraform, hoe auto-scaling en providers werken, en wat de grootste lessen zijn bij het toepassen van Cluster API: de onderliggende complexiteit verdwijnt niet, maar wordt wél beter beheersbaar.Tot slot blikken we vooruit: Tim ziet een belangrijke rol voor Cluster API in de opkomst van soevereine clouds, waarbij organisaties onafhankelijk blijven van één leverancier en workloads over meerdere partijen en locaties kunnen verdelen.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!

Recebemos hoje a Lara Xavier para um papo sério (e divertido) sobre observabilidade no Brasil. Conversamos sobre como sair da visão puramente reativa para uma estratégia madura que combina logs, métricas e rastros, além de cultura e processo. Entramos em dilemas de custo, priorização e responsabilidade compartilhada entre SRE e desenvolvimento, sempre com exemplos práticos do dia a dia.Falamos do começo de carreira da Lara, dos aprendizados que moldaram a forma como ela encara incidentes e de como transformar telemetria em decisões, não só em dashboards bonitos. Em “Logs e Métricas” discutimos instrumentação, qualidade de dados e sinais acionáveis, enquanto em “Vulnerabilidades e Diagnóstico” abordamos como enxergar falhas sem caça às bruxas, conectando observabilidade a segurança e a uma cultura de melhoria contínua.Puxamos também a “stack da Grafana” e as diferenças de abordagem entre times, além de boas práticas para quem quer elevar o nível da observabilidade no Kubernetes. No caminho, rimos das confusões de LinkedIn vs. Lattes, mas sem perder a mão técnica: falamos de SLO/SLI, alertas com menos ruído e decisões orientadas por telemetria.

The lawsuit highlights tensions in AI platform distribution models, where cloud-based AI services depend on mobile app stores for user access, potentially creating gatekeeping concerns for competing generative AI providers. Apple’s partnership with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into iPhone, iPad, and Mac products represents a shift toward native AI integration rather than app-based access, which could impact how cloud AI services reach end users. The dispute underscores growing competition in the generative AI market, where multiple players, including xAI’s Grok, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Perplexity, are vying for market position through both cloud APIs and mobile distribution channels.

Today we dive deep into the mystery of Kubernetes installation, specifically OpenShift installation. We help explain why Kubernetes installs look so weird compared to traditional operations, install processes, and where are the playbooks? Where are the scripts? Are the runbooks describing all the steps you need to take? All of it seems to be missing, and in this podcast, we explain why.

Conheça como levar ambientes de desenvolvimento para a nuvem sem drama de setup, conflitos de versão ou aquela maratona de instalar NVM, Java, Python e afins. Neste papo com Miguel e Oscar, fundadores da CPS1, destrinchamos o que é um Cloud Development Environment (CDE), por que ele acelera o onboarding e como tiramos proveito de workspaces efêmeros para codar com tudo pronto, do banco ao message broker, em um clique. Falamos também de governança e observabilidade do ponto de vista de plataforma.Entramos a fundo na arquitetura: CPS1 como Operator no Kubernetes, templates que definem linguagem, dependências e recursos (bancos, filas, caches) e workspaces isolados, acessíveis via VS Code/JetBrains/SSH. Discutimos o clássico VDI vs CDE, eficiência de recursos com contêineres, menores custos/atritos para times de Ops e o impacto direto no famoso “time to first PR”.E não faltou OPS também: de Git branch a ambientes efêmeros, de Terraform/Ansible testados em contêiner até Quickstart e Helm charts para rodar self‑hosted. De quebra, ainda falamos de Rust por baixo do capô e da (futura) automação com agentes que criam workspaces e abrem PRs sozinhos. Sim, a hype está servida — mas com engenharia por trás.Links Importantes:- João Brito - https://www.linkedin.com/in/juniorjbn- Assista ao FilmeTEArapia - https://youtu.be/M4QFmW_HZh0?si=HIXBDWZJ8yPbpflM- Conheça a CPS1 - https://cps1.tech- Documentação pra começar na CPS1: https://docs.cps1.tech/latest/quickstart/- Miguel: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mciurcio/- Oscar: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oesgalha/Hashtags#CloudDevelopmentEnvironment #CDE #Kubernetes #DevOps #DevSecOps #Kubicast #Containers #Getup #PlatformEngineering #RemoteDevelopment #VSCode #JetBrains #KubernetesOperator #GitOps #Rust #Onboarding #Workspaces #Templates #Governança #CRDO Kubicast é uma produção da Getup, empresa especialista em Kubernetes e projetos open source para Kubernetes.

"If you're currently using free Ubuntu, you're getting supported Ubuntu Pro as part of your VCF license — which is amazing." – Thibaut Rouffineau, Canonical At VMware Explore 2025, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Thibaut Rouffineau, Vice President of Marketing at Canonical, about how Canonical is elevating Ubuntu into the heart of enterprise private cloud. Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu and a leader in securing open-source for enterprises, featured prominently in VMware's major announcements. The news: Ubuntu Pro is now bundled with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) licenses, instantly providing enterprise customers with long-term support, compliance, and hardened security — at no extra cost. Rouffineau explained that this recognition of Ubuntu as a first-class enterprise Linux within VCF is about much more than operating systems. Enterprises can now confidently run workloads across VMs, manage Kubernetes clusters with less disruptive upgrades, and accelerate container adoption on a secure and scalable foundation. Since the announcements, VMware Explore attendees have been eager to understand how these changes impact their modernization journey. Canonical's answer: what was once free Ubuntu now comes with enterprise-grade support, helping organizations move faster while reducing risk. For more information, visit Canonical.com.

Começamos provocando: mais visibilidade sempre ajuda? Partimos de um caso real para discutir por que dashboards sem ação só empilham problemas. Falamos de ruído de alertas, thresholds mal calibrados e cultura de “ver tudo” que, sem priorização, não move o ponteiro.Na sequência, entramos na parte estratégica: apetite de risco, ownership e quem tem o crachá para dizer “vai” ou “não vai”. Trazemos exemplos contrastando setores (financeiro vs. saúde), impacto no negócio e como isso redefine criticidade, SLAs e o que é “aceitável” em produção.Fechamos com prática de campo: shift left de verdade (não é “rodar o Sonar e pronto”), modelagem de ameaças para começar pelo básico certo (acesso, hardening, atualização), e o papel de Kubernetes na jornada em que o foco volta para o produto — com priorização inteligente, e não caça a balas de prata.Links Importantes:- Caroline Assunção - https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-assuncao/- João Brito - https://www.linkedin.com/in/juniorjbn- Assista ao FilmeTEArapia - https://youtu.be/M4QFmW_HZh0?si=HIXBDWZJ8yPbpflMO Kubicast é uma produção da Getup, empresa especialista em Kubernetes e projetos open source para Kubernetes.

Give everyone a quick introduction.Topic 2 - Let's start by talking about the evolution of Kubernetes as a platform. You've said and we've talked about on this show for some time how Kubernetes is more of a platform to run platforms. We've also seen trends in the industry and shifts in what it means to be DevOps or Platform Engineering in recent years. You've positioned Rafay as a Kubernetes Operations Platform that's now evolved into a Cloud Automation Platform. How do you define the difference between Kubernetes management and true platform engineering?Topic 3 - What does “Enterprise Ready” Kubernetes look like in 2025?Topic 4 - Let's flip over to AI/ML and GPUs with Kubernetes for a bit. Many developers and data scientists aren't aware of the underlying platform they run on. I saw a stat recently that about 95% of AI runs on Kubernetes, either on-prem or in the cloud. Despite this, Platform teams are often stuck doing manual GPU provisioning, which doesn't scale with AI adoption. How do modern GPU orchestration solutions change the platform team's role?Topic 5 - With GPU workloads often handling sensitive data and AI models, security becomes even more critical. How should organizations approach security and compliance in their GPU-enabled Kubernetes operations?Topic 6 - "Most developers don't want to write YAML or manage clusters — they just want to ship software." How do you balance giving developers the self-service capabilities they want while maintaining the control and governance that platform teams need?FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netBluesky: @cloudcastpod.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod

In today's episode, we get the unvarnished truth about making the difficult transition from federal on-prem networks to the cloud. Michael Howard, US Transportation Command, gives a thorough analysis of topics like containers, cloud service providers, and specific benefits of cloud native applications. He has experience in enterprise-level commercial organizations, enabling him to compare available tools with those approved for a secure environment like the DoD. He begins by stating that his area of responsibility is making a transition away from the traditional waterfall method of software development to a more agile approach. He shocks the audience by stating that his organization only releases updates quarterly. In today's rapidly changing world, a more dynamic release cycle is mandatory. Containers: We know that containers provide smaller pockets of code. Michael Howard points out that this allows for portability between clouds and on prem solutions. Cloud Service Providers (CSP): It is essential to train staff in the specifics of cloud-native applications for each CSP, as every CSP has its own unique terminology and operational guidelines. Cybersecurity: Michael Howard's team has leveraged cloud-native tools to stand up a zero-trust compatible instance that provides data from disparate sources in a flexible, yet secure manner. Michael Howard provides a wide range of information for the listener. The focus is on the benefits of containerized workloads, Kubernetes, and DevSecOps for improving efficiency and security.

High Performance Computing is here for the masses!Enterprises are bleeding budget in the public cloud, shackled to legacy on-prem systems, and wrestling with HPC workflows so complex they require armies of admins just to keep them running. In this episode, I talk to Matthew Shaxted, Founder & CEO of Parallel Works, about how their ACTIVATE platform is breaking that lock-in, unifying HPC, AI, and hybrid cloud computing into one seamless control plane.Think democratized supercomputing — where scientists, researchers, engineers, and AI teams get instant, intuitive access to powerful compute resources without becoming system admins. ACTIVATE abstracts away the messy plumbing of schedulers, chipsets, and hybrid environments, enabling workloads to run seamlessly across on-prem, multi-cloud, and GPU clusters. From high-security IL5/CUI/ITAR deployments to real-time cost control and AI-driven physics model replacement, Parallel Works is lowering the complexity barrier and unlocking HPC for the AI era.Parallel Works was founded in 2014 in Chicago, IllinoisTechnology & Topics Mentioned:HPC, AI Orchestration, Hybrid Cloud, OpenStack, Kubernetes, GPU Clusters, Multi-GPU Nodes, IL5 Security, CUI/ITAR Compliance, Workflow Automation, Cost Governance, Scientific Computing, Predictive Modelling, Scheduler Abstraction, HPCwire Top Cloud Platform, Cloud Repatriation, NOAA, Biomedical Research, Space Weather Modelling, ML-based Physics ReplacementGreat Things with Great Tech Podcast: https://gtwgt.comGTwGT Playlist on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GTwGTPodcastListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Y1Fgl4DgGpFd5Z4dHulVXListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/great-things-with-great-tech-podcast/id1519439787EPISODE LINKSParallel Works Website: https://www.parallelworks.comParallel Works on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/parallel-worksMatthew Shaxted on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewshaxtedGTwGT LINKSSupport the Channel: https://ko-fi.com/gtwgtBe on #GTwGT: Contact via Twitter/X @GTwGTPodcast or visit https://www.gtwgt.comSubscribe to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GTwGTPodcast?sub_confirmation=1Great Things with Great Tech Podcast Website: https://gtwgt.comSOCIAL LINKSFollow GTwGT on Social Media:Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/GTwGTPodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/GTwGTPodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@GTwGTPodcast
