What is Agentic AI? Understanding the Next Evolution of AI

In the ever-evolving world of artificial intelligence, a new frontier is emerging—Agentic AI. This revolutionary concept goes beyond the traditional models of AI that we’ve grown accustomed to. Instead of simply following explicit instructions, agentic AI systems are designed to act autonomously, make decisions, and adapt dynamically. In other words, they can “think” independently to achieve specific goals.

How to get started with Calico Observability features

Kubernetes, by default, adopts a permissive networking model where all pods can freely communicate unless explicitly restricted using network policies. While this simplifies application deployment, it introduces significant security risks. Unrestricted network traffic allows workloads to interact with unauthorized destinations, increasing the potential for cyberattacks such as Remote Code Execution (RCE), DNS spoofing, and privilege escalation.

Managing EKS deployments with CircleCI deploys

Development teams managing Kubernetes-based applications face challenges in maintaining visibility and control over their deployment processes. Without a centralized interface, teams struggle to track, monitor, and manage releases across their Kubernetes clusters, leading to potential deployment errors, and difficulties in maintaining consistent deployment workflows.

Navigating container monitoring: Key challenges and practical solutions

It’s no secret: Containers have fundamentally reshaped application deployment, driving agility and scalability. However, they’ve also introduced a new set of complexities in container monitoring that often outpace traditional methodologies. In this blog, we’ll explore the core challenges in container observability and outline pragmatic strategies for ensuring a robust and performance-driven containerized environment.

#040 - Beyond Mere Penguins: Crafting Engaging Developer Communities with Jono Bacon (Stateshift)

In this special KubeCon episode, Itiel sits down with Jono Bacon of CNCF fame to talk about his career in building developer and user engagement for open-source technologies. Jono shared his early experiences with Linux and how it sparked a passion for community building. They discuss their current coaching company, Stateshift, which helps various tech companies, including those in the CNCF ecosystem, improve their community outreach, brand building, and user adoption. Examples of successful community building, like GitLab and Dagger, are mentioned.

#041 - Virtualizing Kubernetes with Lukas Gentele (Loft Labs)

In this special KubeCon edition episode of the Kubernetes for Humans podcast, Itiel meets with Lukas Gentele, CEO and co-founder of Loft Labs. Discover why Lukas believes multi-tenancy is a major obstacle in Kubernetes adoption and how Loft Labs is tackling this challenge through innovative projects like vCluster, a "super famous project" for running virtual Kubernetes clusters.

Examining Network Architectures: Kubernetes and Cycle

In a world of managed services, details can often be skipped, overlooked, ignored, or just plain avoided. And in many cases, that's fine. But if you're here, reading this, then I will take it for granted that these things interest you, and I welcome you to join me on this journey of exploration, looking under the hood of two prominent container orchestration platforms on the market: Cycle and Kubernetes.
