Team Phoenix. Polish mountains. One Giant Swarm scarf. One person in shorts (conditions: snowy). This is what Giant Mansions week looks like when your team takes "go big" literally.

@vxav.bsky.social and Antonia stitched together a Kubernetes cluster from two different hypervisors. It worked. It was also a terrible idea. 🤠 They're sharing what they learned at @cnsmunich.bsky.social — and how Kamaji let them solve the same problem without the custom glue.

Gang gang!

Marshmallow built great pipelines. Got promoted to "platform team for everyone." Now her Jira is on fire. 🐕🔥 The Level 2 → Level 3 gap breaks almost every platform team.

Naval, Warp, and Spotify all discovered the same thing from different angles: the constraint moved from writing code to defining what code to write. Same pattern, three very different contexts. Thoughts from @puja.dev.

We'll be there! ◡̈

A standard kubelet weighs about a gigabyte. Edge hardware did not get that memo. KubeEdge's EdgeCore: 70 MB, works offline, no drama.

Infrastructure decisions made total sense when you made them. (The world just kept moving.) Manuel Gawert on what a VMware exit actually looks like in practice.

Turns out "we'll fix it when we have more time" is not a platform strategy. It's just what the platform assembly tax sounds like from the inside.

KubeCon EU class of '26!

Maintainers track on #Kubernetes #AI conformance now transitioned from WG to sub-project of SIG architecture by Janet Kuo, @terrytangyuan.xyz and @mfahlandt.bsky.social

Yup, that's us. @puja.dev wrote about this back in November. www.giantswarm.io/blog/infrast...

The one and only Janet Kuo live demoing #Kubernetes #AI conformance at #KubeCon

Stop, demo time. @t33m0w.bsky.social in action at our KubeCon booth 781.

The all-star gang representing the Swarm reporting live from KubeCon booth 781.

Catch this guy, Dominik, talking about this topic ⬇️ today at 13h20 at the KubeCon co-located event.

Our annual "calm before the Swarm" post. Booth 781 is ready.

Hey, Julia!

10+ years in action. 150+ production clusters. All of it coming to Booth 781 in Amsterdam soon. See you at KubeCon. 🌷

Giant Swarm on tour at @containerdays.bsky.social London. @glitchcrab.bsky.social @salisburyheavyindustries.com @vxav.bsky.social and Antonia. <3

I’ll be speaking in the Lighthouse Theatre (T6) tomorrow morning!

From Raspberry Pi at the edge to managing hundreds of clusters with Cluster API. Antonia, @vxav.bsky.social, and @glitchcrab.bsky.social are bringing live demos and real-world lessons to @containerdays.bsky.social London tomorrow!

@containerdays.bsky.social London X Giant Swarm 🎤 Our very own @glitchcrab.bsky.social, @vxav.bsky.social and Antonia will be on stage. Kubernetes at the edge. Cluster API in the wild.

We’re certified. Feels like progress.

Giant Swarm's latest release: gingerbread houses.

@t33m0w.bsky.social spotted in the wild at CLC. Speaking about digital sovereignty AI, and observability alongside some serious minds from SAP, Vorwerk, and Sovereign Cloud Stack.

8,000 PRs. 1,000 contributors. 10 years. That’s Ingress NGINX, now being officially archived. Marco and @strongjz.bsky.social at KubeCon NA on what comes next, and why knowing when to stop is part of good infra.

AI infra just got a standard. CNCF launched the Kubernetes AI Conformance Program, and @puja.dev was part of the group that helped define it. Giant Swarm is now one of the first certified platforms.

We gave two lightning talks at PromCon: 🎤 Prometheus rules management and validation 🎤 Silence Operator Nothing crazy, just battle-tested stuff. This is what shows up when you work with people who’ve lived through the pager pain.

It's a beautiful day here in Bergen for @cloudnativebergen.dev; excited to be speaking later about Cluster API 🥳

We’re speaking at @kcduk.bsky.social next week! Come say hi! Antonia and Xavier are doing a live demo with a Pi and KubeEdge — Kubernetes at the edge, literally. @salisburyheavyindustries.com talking about migrating a few hundred clusters to Cluster API and what we learned the hard way.

@containerdays.bsky.social talks now online... 💬 @salisburyheavyindustries.com on migrating hundreds of clusters with #ClusterAPI. 🛠️ Antonia + @glitchcrab.bsky.social on Kubernetes at the Edge (yes, with a Pi). 📦 Dominik on platform-as-a-product & what makes internal platforms actually work.

The recordings from @containerdays.bsky.social in Hamburg last month are out! I updated my blog post here with the recording bsky.app/profile/glit... Or you can watch it directly on YouTube youtu.be/sk5GZeE23w4?...

Time for another blog post! Last week I gave my first in-person talk at a conference since 2017 and I've written a little about the experience dickingwithdocker.com/posts/giving...

Dominik’s talk at @containerdays.bsky.social = platform thinking, good energy, and solid insights his write-up still hits — www.giantswarm.io/blog/how-pla...

Swarmies X @containerdays.bsky.social 👌 Antonia, @salisburyheavyindustries.com @glitchcrab.bsky.social repping hard.

Cloud native satellites!!! 😮 @glitchcrab.bsky.social @giantswarm.io #CDS25

Let’s gooooo @salisburyheavyindustries.com !!! /cc @giantswarm.io #CDS25

The man. The myth. The legend. Dominik is taking over @containerdays.bsky.social!

🎤 “The next market leaders won’t just write code fast — they’ll act on intent faster.” Our CTO @t33m0w.bsky.social is keynoting Beyond IoT on building intent-driven enterprises in the age of AI.

I've spent today wrapping up my final day at @giantswarm.io. The past 4 years have been increadible and I've learnt so much and managed to achieve way more than I ever expected. I'm so thankful to all the wonderful colleagues I've had over my time there and wish them all the best without me! 💙

ICYMI: Catch the replay, overachieving included. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDel...

Shiny platform demos are fun. Golden paths, self-service, smooth pipelines. But Day 2? That’s where things get real. At KubeCon Japan, @puja.dev breaks down the tough stuff.

We spent 5 days on our first hAIve Sprint: 2 days sharing what we know about AI 🤠 3 days improving our platform tooling 🤠 Useful > shiny

And that’s a wrap!!! Thank you so much for an incredible @cnsmunich.bsky.social. Fantastic work from all the organisers, volunteers, speakers and sponsors. And such a wonderful group of attendees! 💙

Our friend @lianmakesthings.bsky.social is now up talking about some of the work they did with the Dutch government.

Giant Swarm sticker spotted on a speaker laptop! 😍

Day two of @cnsmunich.bsky.social is a go! 🎉 Looking forward to more amazing talk!

Thank you so much to everyone that came to my @cnsmunich.bsky.social talk yesterday! 💙 Was not expecting the room to be that busy! If you have feedback: yay-or-nay.cluster.fun/feedback/20U... If you want the slides or links to resources: speaking.marcusnoble.co.uk/HqYcp2/pod-d...

Because he’s an overachiever we have Dominik Schmidle giving his second talk of the day! 🤯 “Think Big: Monitoring Stack was yesterday - Observability Platform at scale!” Observability is so hot right now and it’s so much more than just monitoring. cloudnativesummit.de/schedule?eve... #CNSMunich
