Over 500 Golden Kubestronauts: The evolving standard for cloud native mastery
Since launching the Kubestronaut program at KubeCon Paris in 2024, the community has grown faster than expected. Today, more than 570 professionals have reached an even higher bar: Golden Kubestronaut status. Becoming a standard Kubestronaut is…
Without these three things, Agents cannot be properly implemented in a controlled environment, they will not have policy enforcement to ensure they do what they’re supposed to do, and there’s zero way of ensuring that the…
Before you evaluate an AI SRE, give your existing agent context
