Linkerd

In this episode of The AI Kubernetes Show, Buoyant CTO Oliver Gould dives into the tough architectural puzzles that pop up when running AI workloads in production, what it takes to handle new protocols like MCP, and where he sees the service mesh heading in the future. This episode covers how Linkerd is evolving for the AI era: ✦  Handling the challenges of stateful streaming protocols like MCP (Model Context Protocol). ✦  Rethinking fundamental processes for infrastructure when agentic interactions create a contextual loop. ✦  Extending battle-tested reliability to new classes of traffic to improve latency at scale.

In the latest episode of The AI Kubernetes Show, we sat down with Alexa Griffith, Senior Software Engineer at Bloomberg, to discuss how to build a deterministic cage around a non-deterministic core. We explore the unique challenges of GenAI on Kubernetes, including: ✦  Why managing cost and observability requires a new strategy when outputs are unpredictable. ✦  How platform teams use abstraction layers to empower developers without needing to know every intricate detail of a specific model. ✦  Moving beyond system health to track "time to first token" and "token flow" for a snappier user experience.

AI is incredibly powerful and can significantly boost our output, but it also introduces an overdelegation trap. In this episode of The AI Kubernetes Show, Diana Todea, DevX Engineer at VictoriaMetrics, breaks down the "vicious circle" of AI overdelegation and shares her advice for building a responsible, balanced workflow. Proper training on ethical AI use is the key to maintaining your team's foundational expertise. ☞ https://lnkd.in/eueCCY2F Check out all podcasts, including those of Christopher Robinson and Troy Connor, here: https://lnkd.in/dviBqMTf #AIKubernetesShow #AI #Overdelegation

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Service Mesh 101 by Buoyant, creators of Linkerd from Buoyant!

Is WebAssembly the perfect AI solution for platform engineering teams today? In this week's episode of The AI Kubernetes Show, host William Chia sits down with Bailey Hayes, CTO at Cosmonic and At-Large Director for the Byte Code Alliance, to dive deep into WebAssembly, fuzz testing, and the agentic future. They explore why Wasm is the ideal sandbox for non-deterministic AI workloads, how agentic services are reshaping platform workflows (like automating tasks with Wasm agents!), and the exciting developments coming with WASI P3. If you're building platform tooling for the next era of AI, this is a must-listen! Tune in now: https://hubs.ly/Q03WFGss0 What's your take? Are you using Wasm to sandbox your AI or agentic workloads yet?

🤯 It's 2025, and your network is still insecure? Let's talk about that. We’ve been talking about the fundamental insecurity and unreliability of the network for at least ten years, and there are great options for addressing these issues these days. So why are folks still running applications without secure communications instead of taking advantage of these options? Are they trusting Kubernetes to protect them? Do they think security is too complex? Are we as an industry just doing a terrible job explaining that it’s important? Linkerd maintainer Alex Leong will address these and more questions in her KubeCon talk, It’s 2025; Why Are You OK With an Insecure Network? 🤯 Add it to your schedule today: https://hubs.ly/Q03ScPm_0 #cloudsecurity #kubernetes #servicemesh #linkerd #buoyant #security
