This is the lightboard from my Datadog Illuminated episode with Julien Le Dem on OpenLineage.
Before OpenLineage, if your data broke somewhere in the pipeline, you had no way to trace it back to where it went wrong. OpenLineage fixes that by giving every tool a shared language for where data came from, so you can find the exact source of the problem instead of guessing.

“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.
