KU054: OpenTelemetry: Open Source Observability

Observability is foundational to application and infrastructure performance. That’s why it’s fitting that OpenTelemetry is the second most active project in the CNCF after Kubernetes. Today CNCF ambassador Dotan Horovits tells us about the project: OpenTelemetry is a uniform, vendor-agnostic observability framework for generating and collecting telemetry data across both infrastructure and application, across different...

KU052: Wasm is Not Here to Take Your Containers

Is WebAssembly (Wasm) here to replace containers? Not really, says guest Matt Butcher. Instead, Wasm is here for a specific kind of workload: One that needs to start super fast (under a millisecond), handle something, and then shutdown. Containers are still best for running very long, I/O intensive multithreaded workloads. Matt, Michael, and Kristina discuss... Read more »

KU050: CI/CD for Platform Engineering

CI/CD is not a villain. GitOps is not some kind of Kubernetes way of sneaking around it. In fact, GitOps falls under the CI/CD umbrella. Marcus Noble joins the show today to talk about how he uses a Kubernetes-native, open-source CI/CD framework called Tekton to test Kubernetes cluster creation, configuration, and deletion based on changes...

KU049: Security Frameworks, Tools, and Strategies for Kubernetes

Kubernetes is designed to be highly scalable and highly dynamic… a perfect habitat for cryptominers to terminal shell into and then exploit your workload’s resources to the max. And that’s just one example of security threats Kubernetes users need to prepare against. Nigel Douglas from Sysdig joins Michael Levan and Kristina Devochko to give you... Read more »

KU048: Platforms in the Clouds

What are we talking about when we are all talking about private clouds? On-prem? Hybrid? Virtualization? Where does hardware fit into it all– and would younger engineers even know what to do with a physical piece of hardware? Driven by Broadcom’s acquisition of VMare and the anticipated rising costs of VMare licenses, enterprises are exploring... Read more »
