AI agents are idle over 90% of the time, making traditional Kubernetes pods inefficient.
We sat down with @thockin and @brandon_royal to discuss Agent Substrate: a new open-source runtime bringing instant suspend/resume & 10x density to K8s.

What happens when you scale a GKE database to 0 & let an autonomous AI agent debug the fallout? 🚨🤖

Part 2 of my @openchoreo GKE Standard tutorial is live! Build an agentic, self-healing IDP with GitOps, MCP & LLMs.

Build local AI agents with $0 API costs or cloud limits 🤖⚡️

I put together a 10-min walkthrough showing how to run Gemma 4 locally on LMStudio and connect it to Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK).

What's inside:
1️⃣ Host Gemma 4 locally via LMStudio
2️⃣ Expose local inference endpoints
3️⃣ Wire up ADK agents to communicate with Gemma 4

Anne Hathaway notwithstanding, and without false modesty, my Kubernetes 1.32 logo remains the best recent Penelope depiction so far.

Building a developer platform on Kubernetes from scratch is difficult. @openchoreo is designed to fix that.

I put together a quick breakdown of 7 features you can't miss from this CNCF Sandbox project.

Instead of just providing a toolkit, OpenChoreo delivers a complete, multi-plane architecture out of the box with a Backstage-powered portal, CI/CD, GitOps, and observability:

Couple of weeks ago I was a guest on #TheAIKubernetes Show where I had a good conversation with @wm about what it actually takes to run AI workloads on Kubernetes.

Most load balancers route on URL path. The OpenAI API spec puts the model ID in the request body. Standard load balancing doesn't work for model-based LLM routing. The Gateway API Inference Extension was built specifically for this.

We also got into agentic workloads and why they're different from inference, the identity and resource management challenges, and where Kubernetes is heading over the next year.

I was on the #Signals podcast by with my buddy Michael Dowden 🙌

We went deep into the modern cloud-native landscape, platform engineering, and what it actually takes to run cutting-edge infrastructure today. Among other things we discussed:

✅ Kubernetes & AI: Why K8s is becoming the default control plane for scaling modern AI/ML workloads and the reality of managing LLM infrastructure.
✅ Platform Engineering vs. Buzzwords: Building internal developer platforms that actually fix friction instead of adding another layer of complexity.
✅ Developer Experience (DevEx): Striking the balance between keeping tech powerful and keeping developers happy.
✅ Where Cloud Native is Headed: where open-source and modern cloud stacks are moving next.

Huge thanks to Michal for hosting such a great discussion and asking the real-world questions that matter.

How do you run agents at scale in production when you're handling hundreds of thousands of new projects every single day? We sat down with Jonathan Grahl, Infrastructure Lead at Lovable, to discuss how they manage infra for agents at scale.
