Agents are moving into #Kubernetes, and the community is building the fence. 🔒

#KubeCon NA 2026 Day 1: nearly everyone uses a coding agent, but fewer than a quarter trust a personal assistant agent with real work. #CNCF's answer: Agent Substrate 1.0, OpenShell, and llm-d 1.0.

"Assume the agent is already compromised."

Thanks Dan Garfield for a great interview for @VMblog at #KubeCon 2026 today. Video coming soon!

@OctopusDeploy is an automated release management and deployment server designed for #DevOps teams, specializing in continuous delivery (CD).

Just had a great demo and explanation of Kubex at #KubeCon 2026. It's an #AI-driven, full-stack #Kubernetes and #cloud resource optimization platform that automates rightsizing, auto-scaling, and cost reduction for #containers and GPU-accelerated AI workloads. Video coming soon!

Kicking off the day 2 keynote at #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon with @jbryce taking the stage.

.@object_first announced 71% year-over-year (YoY) bookings growth in Q3 2026, reflecting growing adoption of absolutely #immutable #backup #storage as the last line of defense against ransomware and other #cyberattacks.

Going to #SC26? @VDURAinc CEO Ken Claffey explains why storage is a GPU revenue driver, not a line item, and what V12 means for AI factories and neoclouds.

#Cybersecurity #2027Predictions

[VMblog @vmblog]

#GPUs are sitting idle while #AI context gets recomputed over and over. 🔄

@scality's Paul Speciale tells @VMblog why KV cache is the new bottleneck, and how reading context back ran 72x faster than recomputing it in lab tests.

You can’t burn down infinity.

#AI can now find and chain flaws at machine speed. Bain estimates it compresses an attack sequence from ~4 weeks to ~18 hours.

David Lindner of @contrastsec predicts vulnerability management dies in 2027, replaced by risk management driven by runtime context.

Thinking about moving #vSAN to an all-flash array? Think twice. 💸

Flash prices are up as much as 5X and server DRAM has nearly doubled since early 2026. Going back to three tiers means paying for storage twice, plus the added complexity.

George Crump of @Verge_IO makes the case for reusing the hardware you already own.

vSAN shops pay for a DR copy, then pay again for double drive failure protection: VCF licensing, six or more NVMe hosts at up to 5X flash prices, and RAID 6 eating the entitlement faster than your data grows. Remote parity puts the DR copy to work.

Hanging out at the @vclusterlabs party during #KubeCon NA 2026.

[VMblog @vmblog]

Are you at #KubeCon? Swing by the @MirantisIT booth 232 for a 3pm raffle to win a cool skateboard or lego kit. They had me at Star Wars .

[VMblog @vmblog]

Just grabbed a very cool hat here at the @coderhq booth at #KubeCon. Come by and visit and check out their demo.

[VMblog @vmblog]

Hanging out at the @Yugabyte diner (booth) at #KubeCon. Come grab some awesome swag if you are here.

[VMblog @vmblog]

Come grab a @Ctrl_Theory T-shirt at their #KubeCon booth, wear it tomorrow on the show floor and one lucky random person wearing it on Wednesday will win a Mac Mini.

Allow #AI in dev, block it in prod, and halt any user's agents in one click.

@portainerio's Portainer-Command gives #security teams one timeline of every AI session and proposed change, plus a threat model that assumes the agent is hostile.
