  Kubernetes Can Run Your Database. Your Team Can't., with Kat Cosgrove

  Sep 8, 202641 minS9

  KubeSelect is a new show that tests one bold Kubernetes hypothesis with one expert. Hosts Salman Iqbal and Bart Farrell examine the evidence and ask whether the claim holds up. In episode two, Kat Cosgrove tackles a long-running question: should teams run databases on Kubernetes? StatefulSets, persistent volumes, CSI, and database operators changed the technical answer, but they did not remove the operational risk. In this episode: How Kubernetes storage has matured and why old assumptions persist Where Kubernetes responsibility ends, and database responsibility begins Why operators do not replace database experts When managed database services remain the better choice Sponsor Kubernetes moves too fast to track everything. Learn Kubernetes Weekly filters out the noise to deliver one curated email with useful articles, tutorials, tools, jobs, events, and CFPs. Subscribe to Learn Kubernetes Weekly.

  Observability Won't Save You, with Henrik Rexed

  Sep 1, 202632 minS9

  Kube Select takes one bold Kubernetes hypothesis and tests it with an expert. In the first episode, Salman Iqbal and Bart Farrell ask whether most organizations have an observability problem or a decision-making problem. Henrik Rexed , Senior Staff Engineer at Dynatrace, challenges the original claim. Teams can collect metrics, logs, and traces, but that telemetry needs system relationships, ownership, and deployment history to support a confident decision. In this episode: Why telemetry without context slows incident response How SLOs, ownership, and deployment events guide troubleshooting When more metrics increase cost without improving decisions How AI agents can investigate incidents without replacing human judgment Sponsor Kubernetes moves too fast to track everything.

  Why Kubernetes Needs to Learn GPUs, with Saiyam Pathak

  Aug 25, 202633 minS9

  Kube Signals starts where the keynote ends: with the trends that platform teams will have to operationalize next. In this special episode, Brian Teller speaks with Saiyam Pathak about his KubeCon India keynote and the shift from developer platforms to AI factories. They examine what GPU scarcity, shared accelerators, and AI workloads mean after the conference slides meet real infrastructure. In this interview: Why GPU infrastructure is becoming a platform-engineering concern How DRA, HAMI, MIG, and MPS change GPU allocation and utilization Where isolation, scheduling, and observability become harder for AI platforms Which cloud-native AI trends and projects platform engineers need to watch Sponsor This episode is sponsored by LearnKube.

  GitOps at Enterprise Scale, with Elad Cohen

  Aug 18, 202636 minS9

  At enterprise scale, a deployment pipeline that runs Helm upgrades directly against Kubernetes hides drift, mixes configuration with CI logic, and makes the last pipeline run the source of truth. Elad Cohen explains how WSC Sports moved from Azure DevOps to GitHub Actions and redesigned delivery around Git and Argo CD. The resulting platform separates builds from deployments, keeps service configuration in values files, and continuously reconciles clusters. In this interview: Why CI should change Git instead of the cluster How ApplicationSets create main and shadow deployments from one values file How AppProjects scope permissions and route alerts by team Why reusable Helm contracts make customization compound across services Sponsor This episode is sponsored by LearnKube.

  Automating Pod Disruption Budgets with Kyverno, with Ahmad Asmar

  Aug 10, 202646 minS9

  Karpenter can reduce Kubernetes infrastructure costs, but aggressive node consolidation can also expose workloads that lack disruption safeguards. Ahmad Asmar explains how Zencity uses Kyverno to automatically generate Pod Disruption Budgets , while accounting for existing PDBs, percentage-based availability targets, single-replica workloads, and environment-specific policies. In this interview: How Karpenter consolidation changes the availability risks of cluster operations Why Kyverno's generated policies can provide safer defaults than manual enforcement How to handle duplicate PDBs, scaling workloads, and single-replica edge cases How aggregated ClusterRoles keep custom permissions separate from Helm-managed resources Sponsor This episode is sponsored by LearnKube.
