“Managing Kubernetes RBAC manually is a path to burnout.”
In this episode of 🌩️Thunder, Saim Safdar, CNCF Ambassador and host of the Cloud Native Podcast, explains how Paralus centralizes Kubernetes access management across your clusters.
Paralus replaces per-cluster role juggling with a single layer for SSO, group-based access control, and full kubectl audit logs, whether you have one cluster or dozens across cloud providers and on-prem.

We secure data at rest. We secure data in transit. But what about data in use?
In this episode of 🌩️Thunder, Tobin Feldman-Fitzthum explains how Confidential Containers uses hardware-level trusted execution environments to isolate your Kubernetes workloads from everything outside them, including the Kubernetes control plane and the cloud provider itself.

Datadog Illuminated: Evaluating an Agent That Creates and Tunes Monitors, with Eric Karschner
kagent is a framework to help you make AI agents and run them in Kubernetes declaratively, with YAML.
Lin Sun, co-creator of kagent, joined to walk through how it works. Here’s the lightboard we made together.

InfoQ: AI Meets Internal Developer Platform (InfoQ coverage of KubeCon EU talk with Viktor Farcic)
Datadog Illuminated: Evaluating an AI-Powered Process That Creates and Tunes Monitors, with Eric Karschner
Will AI help or hinder a developer’s experience with an internal platform? At KubeCon EU, the audience found out. My bestie Viktor Farcic (Upbound) and I ran an interactive session where attendees voted at key moments on which tools our AI agent would use. I built the demo to work with any combination they chose, on the fly.
The agent investigated a broken app, used semantic search to navigate cluster resources, and deployed on a developer’s behalf, with no cluster access required. Expect surprises, stumbles, and a real conversation about what AI is (and isn’t) ready for in platform engineering.
