Kubernetes is gaining AI and operations tools. Road to KubeCon explores what’s changing and the access-control gap teams still need to address.

This November, the cloud native community is heading to Salt Lake City. From November 9–12, 2026, KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America will bring together adopters and technologists from across open source and cloud native communities for...

AI workloads are changing what platform teams need from infrastructure. Provisioning GPUs and standing up a cluster no longer makes a platform “AI-ready.” Once training spans more than one node, the bottlenecks show up in places...

Scope This document describes three failure scenarios that separate having backups from being able to recover, and the guidance that follows from each. Every scenario is reproducible on a laptop from the lab repository above, and...

The question that stopped the meeting It was a routine cost review. The slide showed the month’s GPU spend, the biggest line on the whole infrastructure bill, and someone asked a five-word question: “Are we using...

“A sales guy writing code” used to be the lead-up to a joke. But now no one’s laughing. Designers used to sit meekly waiting for the high priests of code to make their designs real. Now...
