My recap of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026 in Salt Lake City. The question all week was how to take agents to production. My takeaway: we already have most of the building blocks, but we need to rethink how we put them together, especially around governance, observability and autonomy.
A full day of MCP and agents at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in Salt Lake City, which I co-chaired with Chris Mazur. Open governance, securing the tool layer and running agents on Kubernetes kept coming up, and most of it came back to platform engineering.
A day in Warsaw with a vibrant Polish community. Alex Chircop on where the CNCF is heading, Paweł Sułkowski's bakery trap, Marcus Noble's Kube-Oddities, €230,000 of GitOps scale testing, capybaras and AI delegation from Adriana and Josh, Julia's career traced with OpenTelemetry, my talk on observability as a platform product, and a photo with Jerzy Dudek.
My first KCD UK, and my first time in Edinburgh. Abby Bangser made the case that platform engineering is the prerequisite for getting value from AI, and the rest of the two days kept agreeing with her: agent sandboxes, security as a platform user, policy as the platform's API, and a Kubernetes API that survives whatever you swap out underneath it. Plus Hazel Weakly on strategy, Adriana's career lessons, and the talk Adriana and I gave.
It’s been a while, and I thought I would revisit my previous blog post on setting up a Raspberry Pi Kubernetes Cluster and publish an updated version of the guide with the latest version of…
Apparently it’s that time of the year again. Approximately a year ago I published a “state-of-the-art” how to run a Raspberry Pi Kubernetes cluster using HypriotOS and Kubernetes 1.4. Lots of…
The Kubernetes release cadence is fast-paced with minor releases every quarter. Awesome! But how do I keep up?
CloudNativeCon + KubeCon Europe 2017 is over! Wow, what a great conference. It was great to meet so many engaged and passionate people working the Cloud Native ecosystem.
In the first post of our mini-series about Kops, I demonstrated how you could set up a highly available Kubernetes cluster on AWS in an existing VPC leveraging the awesome open-source project Kops.
This is the first post in a series of Kubernetes and Kubernetes Operations (Kops) related blog posts.
