Udi Hofesh, DevRel & PMM @ Komodor, explains how Komodor has transformed their AI offering from a simple assistant into an autonomous troubleshooting and day-to-day operations platform. He details how they've built an agentic AI layer on top of their five-year foundation, which has been battle-tested with enterprises such as Cisco, Dell, and BlackRock. The key insight revolves around contextual AI versus generic solutions - rather than providing cookie-cutter responses based on runbooks, Komodor's platform integrates with organizational knowledge bases like Confluence, learns from past incidents, and delivers bespoke solutions tailored to each organization's specific context.

Sai Sandeep Ogety, Director of Cloud & DevOps Engineering at Fidelity Investments, discusses the limitations of cross-cloud integration in Kubernetes. He explains how connecting an AWS Kubernetes cluster to Azure storage requires complex workarounds due to missing native features. The discussion focuses on two main challenges: storage access across different cloud providers and network connectivity between cloud and on-premises environments. Sandeep advocates for cloud-agnostic features in Kubernetes that would simplify resource sharing and communication in hybrid environments.

John, Senior Software Engineer at solo.io, explains what Mutual TLS (mTLS) is and its importance in Kubernetes environments. This two-way authentication is valuable in Kubernetes infrastructure, allowing workload-to-workload traffic to be properly authenticated. John illustrates how in a front-end to back-end scenario, the front-end service would present its own certificate to the back-end, enabling verification of identity and origin - a fundamental component for implementing zero-trust security in Kubernetes clusters.

Calin explains how inefficient Helm templates and inconsistent service configurations translate into business costs. He emphasizes that time is the critical factor — delays in deployment processes directly impact the `product feedback cycle`. While engineers might dismiss `YAML` formatting or template inconsistencies as minor issues, these technical inefficiencies can significantly extend the time between releases and slow down the time-to-market, resulting in tangible financial losses for the business. The revised version better uses markdown formatting while maintaining the core message.

Zbyněk Roubalík, CTO Founder @ Kedify, shares his perspective on effective auto-scaling strategies for Kubernetes. He breaks down auto-scaling into two essential levels: cluster-level scaling for nodes and application-level scaling. He stresses that successful auto-scaling requires choosing the right metrics beyond just CPU and memory to make scaling decisions.

Kyle Campos, CTPO at CloudBolt Software, explains how their new Kubernetes cost allocation offering changes the market landscape by combining optimization and reporting into a single platform. He addresses the core problem where teams have historically been blind to cost allocation or forced to use separate solutions and manually unify data layers.

Yue Yin, Software Engineer at ByteDance, discusses how her team enhanced the Kubernetes scheduler before developing Gödel. She explains their two-pronged approach: implementing NUMA topology plugins for latency-sensitive workloads and optimizing performance to achieve 300 pods per second scheduling in a 10,000-node cluster.

Artem explains why setting up Prometheus and Grafana alone creates an incomplete observability solution. He demonstrates how these tools only provide basic metrics without context — you might see high CPU usage in a dashboard but won't understand the root cause. This common setup fails to deliver actionable insights for troubleshooting and creates limited value for most use cases.

Dilshan Wijesooriya discusses a real incident where migrating EKS nodes to AL2023 caused the cluster autoscaler to lose AWS permissions silently. You will learn: - Why AL2023 blocks pod access to instance metadata by default, breaking components that relied on node IAM roles - How to implement IRSA correctly by configuring IAM roles, Kubernetes service accounts, and OIDC trust relationships, and why both AWS IAM and Kubernetes RBAC must be configured independently - How to audit which pods currently rely on node roles and clean up legacy IAM permissions to reduce attack surface after migration Watch (or listen to) it here: https://ku.bz/T_YPfTfDb 🌟 This episode is brought to you by LearnKube — join their 4-day hands-on Advanced Kubernetes course starting January 29th and finally get comfortable with production clusters. https://lnkd.in/ge4aYVZq With 🎙Bart "Keep Working Harder" Farrell
