How Cisco Revolutionized Platform Engineering with Komodor's Agentic AI

In the world of cloud-native infrastructure, complexity is the silent killer of innovation. For Cisco Outshift, the company’s incubation engine, managing a sprawling environment of AWS EKS clusters and edge-based MicroK8s workloads created a classic bottleneck: the Platform Engineering team was drowning in toil. Facing SRE burnout and the limits of human scaling, Cisco embarked on an ambitious journey to evolve its internal operations from standard DevOps to Agentic AI.

AI SRE in Practice: Resolving Node Termination Events at Scale

When a node terminates unexpectedly in a Kubernetes cluster, the immediate symptoms are obvious. Workloads restart elsewhere, services experience partial outages, and alerts fire across multiple systems. The harder question is why it happened and how to prevent it from recurring. This scenario walks through a node termination event where the entire node pool was affected, requiring investigation across infrastructure layers to identify root cause and implement lasting remediation.

[Webinar] Building Quality-Driven Agentic AI in Noisy Big Data Environments

Watch as Itiel Shwartz, Komodor CTO and Co-Founder as he shares hard-won lessons from developing an AI agent that processes millions of K8s events daily to deliver autonomous troubleshooting that reached 95%+ accuracy in benchmarking. This webinar covers: Building production ready systems that maintain reliability when 90% of your data is noise. How Komodor developed an AI SRE agent that processes millions of K8s events daily to deliver autonomous troubleshooting that reached 95%+ accuracy in benchmarking.

AI SRE in Practice: Diagnosing Configuration Drift in Deployment Failures

Deployments fail for dozens of reasons. Most of them are obvious from the error messages or pod events. But when a deployment rolls out successfully according to Kubernetes but your application starts experiencing latency spikes and error rate increases, the investigation becomes significantly harder. This scenario walks through a configuration drift incident where the deployment appeared healthy but available replicas were constantly flapping, creating cascading reliability issues.

AI SRE in Practice: Resolving GPU Hardware Failures in Seconds

When a pod fails during a TensorFlow training job, the investigation usually starts with the obvious questions. The answers rarely come quickly, especially when the failure involves GPU hardware that most engineers don’t troubleshoot regularly. This scenario walks through an actual GPU hardware failure and shows how AI-augmented investigation changes both the time to resolution and the expertise required to handle it.

When is it ok or not ok to trust AI SRE with your production reliability?

There’s a moment every engineer knows. An AI suggests a fix, it looks reasonable,maybe even obvious, but production is on the line and you hesitate before clicking execute. There’s a big difference between an AI that can recommend an action and one you’re willing to let take that action. All it takes is one bad call, one kubectl command that makes things worse, and suddenly every automated suggestion is a potential liability instead of a help.

From Promise to Practice: What Real AI SRE Can Actually Do When Production Breaks

We’ve written before about the advantages of training an AI SRE on real telemetry data rather than generic Kubernetes documentation. We’ve explained why RAG augmentation based on actual high-scale workload patterns produces better results than LLMs trained on generic scenarios or forum threads. The theory makes sense, the architecture is sound, and the approach is defensible.

Kubernetes v1.35: The Release That Tackles the Industry's $100 Billion Waste Problem

Kubernetes v1.35 dropped a couple of weeks ago, and while the headlines focus on gang scheduling and in-place resizing going GA, there’s a bigger story here that every platform team needs to understand: Kubernetes is finally acknowledging that cluster utilization is fundamentally broken. At Komodor, we work with hundreds of organizations running Kubernetes at scale.

7 Kubernetes Predictions for 2026 - AI Will Push SRE to its Limit

As AI workloads shift from training to massive-scale inference, SRE teams are about to feel even more pressure. GPU-heavy computing is breaking the assumptions today’s clusters were built on, while enterprises are beginning to trust autonomous operations and cost pressure is pushing consolidation across the cloud-infrastructure stack.
