In this Karma Stories episode, a calm IT professional gets blamed for a total shutdown — not because they caused it, but because they didn't freak out enough. We've got toner disasters, rogue accounting staff with too much power, and an HR stunt that nearly wipes out an entire server room.

This episode is about what I'm seeing and what I'm doing right now, and then for the rest of the year. There are three parts. First, I talk about what's about to happen for me for the next few weeks re going to London for KubeCon. Then what I'm planning to change in this podcast, as well as my other content on YouTube for the rest of the year. And lastly, I talk about some industry trends that I'm seeing that will force me, I think, to change the format of this show.

The CEO who bet on SwiftUI—and lost their job. Then poke some fun at Rust stans, SalesForce claims they're not hiring any developers in 2025, and more!

Bret and Nirmal reunite for their traditional annual Holiday Special episode of breaking down the most significant developments in cloud native from 2024 and sharing predictions for 2025.

CES 2025 Secrets Revealed: A developer's dream or just more hype? Plus, NVIDIA flexes its AI muscles, and we're admittedly impressed. Then, our thoughts on Dell's historic rebrand.

For the first show of 2025, let's talk about being a sysadmin in the coming year. This is the sixth year of Richard going solo on the show to talk about the things he's seen in the past year and speculate a bit on the next year, at least for sysadmins. Economic uncertainty is still a thing, as is employment. The security situation continues to be tough - and getting worse. But remarkable new tools, including large language models, are on the horizon to make things a bit easier. The adoption rates for LLMs aren't as quick as some people would like, but things are happening, and they can provide value. However, you have to do your homework. Oh, and then there's Windows!LinksMicrosoft CopilotMicrosoft 365 CopilotMicrosoft Security CopilotGitHub CopilotPrivileged Identity ManagementExtended Security Updates program for Windows 10Plan for Windows 10 EOS with Windows 11, Windows 365, and ESULAPSMicrosoft FabricRecorded December 31, 2024

Some debates never die, and this week, we're reigniting one of our spiciest from the archives. Plus, our boldest 2025 predictions yet.

Or watch the video version on YouTube. Bret is joined by Willem Delbare and Roeland Delrue to discuss Aikido, a security tool consolidation platform designed specifically for smaller teams and solo DevOps practitioners. The discussion explores how Aikido addresses the growing challenges of software supply chain security by bringing together various security tools - from CVE scanning to cloud API analysis - under a single, manageable portal. Unlike enterprise-focused solutions, Aikido targets the needs of smaller teams and individual DevOps engineers who often juggle multiple responsibilities. During the episode, they demonstrate Aikido's capabilities using Bret's sample GitHub organization, and show how teams can implement comprehensive security measures without managing multiple separate tools.Be sure to check out video version of the complete show for demos, from our December 5, 2024 YouTube Live stream.★Topics★Aikido websiteAikido on BlueskyAikido on LinkedInCreators & Guests Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Bret Fisher - Host Willem Delbare - Guest Roeland Delrue - Guest (00:00) - Intro (06:20) - Aikido Origin Story (10:32) - What Does AutoFix Mean?

Bret and Nirmal recorded this special offline episode at KubeCon North America in Salt Lake City. We hung out at the AWS booth to break down the major trends and developments from the conference. The event drew a record-breaking 10,000 attendees, with roughly half being first-timers to the Cloud Native ecosystem. Starting with Cloud Native Rejekts and moving through the pre-conference events, we noticed Platform Engineering emerged as the dominant theme, with its dedicated conference track drawing standing-room-only crowds.The main conference showcased a notable surge in new vendors, particularly in AI and security sectors, representing about a quarter of all exhibitors. We dissect the key engineering trends, ongoing challenges in Cloud Native adoption, and insights gathered from various conferences including ArgoCon, BackstageCon, and Wasm Day. In our 40-minute discussion, we tried to capture the essence of what made this year's KubeCon significant. It's a great listen whether you couldn't attend or if you're a veteran of the CloudNative community.Creators & Guests Cristi Cotovan - Editor Beth Fisher - Producer Bret Fisher - Host Nirmal Mehta - Host (00:00) - Intro (03:38) - KubeCon Rejekts (04:50) - Better Than Namespaces (07:17) - Day 0 (08:32) - BackstageCon and Platform Interfaces (12:35) - Argo CD and Deployment Dashboards (13:57) - GitOps Bridge: Bridging Infrastructure and GitOps (14:49) - Kubernetes Resource Orchestrator (KRO) (16:23) - Fleet Management in Kubernetes (18:12) - Ford's Approach to Kubernetes Tooling (19:36) - CNOE: Community-Driven Kubernetes Reference Architectures (26:21) - AI Integration in Kubernetes Tools (34:03) - Managing Infrastructure at Scale with Karpenter (35:13) - KubeCon Highlights and Future Trends You can also support my free material by subscribing to my YouTube channel and my weekly newsletter at bret.news!Grab the best coupons for my Docker and Kubernetes courses.Join my cloud native DevOps community on Discord.Grab some merch at Bret's Loot BoxHomepage bretfisher.com
