Cost and complexity hobbled observablity in 2025. Is OpenTelemetry part of the solution for 2026?

Kubernetes 1.35 brings in-place pod updates, native workload identity, and AI-optimized scheduling to production. Drew Hagen explains what’s new and why it matters.

Alex Chircop explains how Kubernetes AI conformance bridges cloud-native and AI ecosystems, enabling portable AI workloads across major cloud providers including Akamai.

Drew Hagen, the release lead for Kubernetes 1.35, discusses the theme of the release, Timbernetes, which symbolizes resilience and diversity in the Kubernetes community. 

Crossplane Co-Creator Bassam Tabbara discusses the project’s CNCF graduation, its evolution into a platform engineering foundation, and why AI agents need strong APIs to move beyond code generation.

Alex Chircop from Akamai explains how CNCF projects are evolving to support AI workloads, from Kubernetes GPU orchestration to open source infrastructure tooling.

This release also features 60 enhancements, including a specialized KYAML format and gang scheduling for AI workloads, while phasing out legacy components like Ingress Nginx and cgroup v1.

Kubernetes 1.35, dubbed ‘Treenetes,’ delivers in-place pod resource adjustments, a capability that benefits AI training workloads and edge computing deployments.
