Datatopics is hosted by Kevin Missoorten and typically joined by multiple guests. In a side step from our regular Tour de Tools series, we talk about the fuzzy and misunderstood concepts in the world of data, analytics and AI. In miniserie format, we discuss the different angles of these fuzzy datatopics to get to the bottom of things. In this second episode we explore the architectural implications of going "Data Mesh".

#86 What’s Next for Kubernetes? KubeCon 2025 Recap with Nick Schouten 1:03:20

13 روز پیش1:03:20

1:03:20

Send us a text Welcome to the cozy corner of the tech world! Datatopics is your go-to spot for relaxed discussions around tech, news, data, and society. In this episode of Data Topics , we sit down with Nick Schroeder — data engineer at dataroots — for a full recap of KubeCon Europe 2025 and a deep dive into the current and future state of Kubernetes. We talk through what’s actually happening in the Kubernetes ecosystem — from platform engineering trends to AI infra challenges — and why some teams are doubling down while others are stepping away. Here’s what we cover: What Kubernetes actually is , and how to explain it beyond the buzzword When Kubernetes is the right choice (e.g., hybrid environments, GPU-heavy workloads) — and when it’s overkill How teams are trying to host LLMs and AI models on Kubernetes , and the blockers they’re hitting (GPUs, complexity, cost) GitOps innovations spotted at KubeCon — like tools that convert UI clicks into Git commits for infrastructure-as-code Why observability is still one of Kubernetes’ biggest weaknesses , and how a wave of new startups are trying to solve it The push to improve developer experience for ML and data teams (no more YAML overload) The debate around abstraction vs control — and how some teams are turning away from Kubernetes entirely in favor of simpler tools What “ vibe coding ” means in an LLM-driven world, and how voice-to-code workflows are changing how we write infrastructure Whether the future of Kubernetes is more “visible and accessible,” or further under the hood If you're a data engineer, MLOps practitioner, platform lead, or simply trying to stay ahead of the curve in infrastructure and AI — this episode is packed with relevant insights from someone who's hands-on with both the tools and the teaching.…
