Welcome to another edition of Road to KubeCon! We’re tracking movements in the Kubernetes and cloud-native ecosystem as we count down to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026 November 9–12 in Salt Lake City.

GPU teams usually face a bad trade-off. Give every team its own Kubernetes cluster and you pay for a control plane per team. Put everyone in one shared cluster and you get weak isolation. Either way,...

Turn on an AI coding agent’s telemetry and it throws a wall of text at you. It’s expensive to store and what’s worse, you can’t make sense of it. It’s all OpenTelemetry native, though. So you...

You’ve probably felt this one: GitHub Actions usage creeps up across your org, and your actual visibility into it doesn’t keep pace. Which workflows are slow? Which are flaky? How long are jobs sitting queued for...

If you’re evaluating AI SRE products, you probably own most of one already. The coding agent your engineers use, whether that’s Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, can already investigate a Kubernetes cluster. What it usually lacks...

The llm-d project, now ready for production, aims to do for distributed inference on GPUs what Kubernetes did for web apps: make the most of infrastructure resources.

Kubernetes has quietly run much of the world’s containerized software on a division of labor between two control loops that rarely had to talk to each other. The scheduler places each pod on a node that...

Welcome to another edition of Road to KubeCon, where we’re tracking interesting movements in the cloud-native and Kubernetes ecosystem as we count down the days to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2026, to be held in Salt Lake City,...

n8n is easy to try and harder to run under production traffic. A single container with SQLite works great for a quick demo. Production is a different story entirely. You need workers, webhook processors, PostgreSQL, Redis,...

In this blog, I will share my Golden Kubestronaut journey, how I became the first and youngest Golden Kubestronaut from Nepal, what motivated me to pursue this path, and what it actually takes to earn the...
