Kubernetes Unpacked

In this sponsored episode of the Kubernetes Unpacked podcast, Kristina and Michael are joined by Adam Frank, SVP of Product and Marketing at Armory, to discuss the role of continuous deployment in the software development lifecycle. They highlight the challenges organizations face in implementing effective continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes and the importance of prioritizing the developer experience.

There are a lot of moving parts to Kubernetes. In today's Kubernetes Unpacked, we get into Ingress with guest Whitney Lee. Whitney breaks down her thoughts on Ingress, how she learned it, and how you can gain more knowledge around Ingress and the open-source CNCF projects around Ingress.

In today's Kubernetes Unpacked, Michael and Kristina catch up with Prithvi Raj and Sayan Mondal to talk about all things Chaos Engineering in the Kubernetes space! We chat about the open source and CNCF incubating project, Litmus, and various other topics  including why Chaos Engineering is important, how it can help all organizations, how every engineer can use it, and more.

On today's Kubernetes Unpacked, Michael and Kristina catch up with Roberth Strand, Principal Cloud Engineer at Amesto Fortytwo to talk about all things Internal Developer Platform (IDP) on Kubernetes and beyond. Roberth dives into what an IDP is, what it isn’t, and how all engineers should be thinking about IDPs. If you’re interested in diving into platform engineering, this is the perfect episode for you.

In today's episode, Michael and Kristina catch up with Saim Safdar to chat about a recent white paper on platform engineering from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Saim dives into not only the CNCF whitepaper, but how Platform Engineering should be thought about from a Kubernetes perspective in 2023 and beyond.

On today's Kubernetes Unpacked we speak with Evis Drenova about whether AI has a role to play in the Kubernetes ecosystem. We discuss everything from using chat-based generative AI tools to interact with Kubernetes to data models and data sets on Kubernetes to Machine Learning with Kubernetes.

In today's Kubernetes Unpacked, Kristina and Michael talk about whether Kubernetes is getting boring, and how elements such as service mesh, security-centric CNIs, and movements such as GitOps, can keep Kubernetes moving forward.

In this episode of Kubernetes Unpacked, Michael and Kristina catch up with with Nigel Poulton, an independent consultant, trainer, and content creator to discuss what Web Assembly (WASM) is, why it’s gaining popularity, and whether it can be the future of programming and development.

In this episode, Michael catches up with Anton Smith, Head Of Product at Spectro Cloud. This episode goes outside of the standard engineering conversation and into a conversation of why it makes sense for Technical Product Managers (TPMs) to not only get a certification like the Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), but why staying technical as a TPM in the Kubernetes space helps you with your job.

In this episode of the Kubernetes Unpacked podcast, co-hosts Michael Levan and Kristina Devochko interview David Flanagan, a Kubernetes consultant, about his experience running his own consultancy and specializing in a specific technology or platform. David shares his career journey and emphasizes the importance of authenticity, credibility, and long-term thinking in the world of technology consulting. The conversation also touches on the use of AI in Kubernetes, the challenges and rewards of being an independent consultant, and the importance of setting personal boundaries and constraints early on to prevent burnout. David also shares his insights into some of the quirks of Kubernetes.
