Omdia on Location at KubeCon in Atlanta youtu.be/G7k16vkfF_I?... @cncf.bsky.social great to chat cloud native transformation with my great colleagues Jim Frey and Melinda Marks. #cloudnative

All code commits to any of the 241 @cncf.bsky.social CNCF projects since the very beginning in 2014. 394K commits for Kubernetes so far, 165k for Cilium, 102k for OpenTelemetry and an impressive 82k for Backstage.

First talk of KubeCon ✅ Liz Rice, Joe Stringer, and I lead a discussion on what projects should think about when trying to write an effective AI policy. Slides are lights on details, but be sure to catch the full recording with all the conversations when it comes out

Almost in Atlanta! #kubecon

Last English breakfast with all 4 food groups (sausage, bacon, egg and bread) at Heathrow. Looking forward to a fun week at #KubeCon in Atlanta. #Omdia

My quick take on the $180 Million funding round for @n8n.io : www.techtarget.com/searchapparc... @omdiahq.bsky.social #AI #LLM #Funding #LowCode

Why AI co-pilots will never become actual 'pilots' as long as they are based on LLMs. That's not a bad thing, as the production gain can be large. But just like an actor playing a doctor on TV is not really a doctor, a copilot using an llm is not a programmer. www.techtarget.com/searchapparc...

Cool chart showing the hairball of interconnections between AI and cloud companies. #TooBigToFail

Machine Data trained LLMs and automatically generated dashboards for issue prevention. Very interesting Splunk .conf25 -> BLOG POST: www.techtarget.com/searchdatama... #Highlights #Splunk #Cisco #AICanvas #Observability

Red Hat analyst summit in London: 1) virtualization and 2) AI -> not necessarily in that order. Theme: Disruption Needs Choice Key products: RHEL10, vLLM, llm-d, Lightspeed and of course OpenShift. Combination of open source and enterprise-grade support. @omdiahq.bsky.social #ESG #RedHat

Broadcom's @vmware.bsky.social Cloud Foundation 9.0 aims to solve a longstanding DevOps challenge by enabling containers and VMs to run side by side with unified management. By @bcgain.bsky.social feat. @torstenvolk.bsky.social

Wow, flying out of LAX now makes you use your face as a boarding pass. Even in a free country that much Tracking would be spooky.

You can say what you want about Broadcom's app modernization and cloud strategy, but look at this stock growth. #VMwareExplore

"We can vmotion LLM workloads just like anyhting else" -> need to look at the implications of that statement. #VMwareExplore

"I'm the most excited about #Kubernetes being a native part of VCF 9" -> from the VMware Explore keynote.

"90% of enterprises have committed to VCF" -> "you are not alone. Everybody is moving this way" #VMwareExplore @vmware.bsky.social @broadcom.bsky.social @omdia.bsky.social

"It is insane, I've been doing it since 25 years and I'm still loving it" -> intro #VMware Explore keynote. -> analysis of the latet announcements to follow -> #ESG @broadcom.bsky.social @vmware.bsky.social

Love the term 'confident nonsense' to describe how LLMs are able to plausibly and fluently provide great-sounding explanations for entirely made-up 'facts'. -> here's my blog on Minimum Viable Observability, as the remedy for 'confident nonsense': www.linkedin.com/pulse/minimu...

HPE Discover was all about AI Factory, operational excellence, and Hybrid Cloud. Here's my quick BLOG summary: www.techtarget.com/searchdatace...

Broadcom's VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 aims to solve a longstanding DevOps challenge by enabling containers and VMs to run side by side with unified management. By @bcgain.bsky.social feat. @torstenvolk.bsky.social

Can't believe the best AI app builder closed down. Farewell Lazy AI. Interestingly, my favorite data notebook (the name escapes me now) also was shut down a while ago. Shows that quality is not (always) the key success factor for startups. #AppDev #Copilot #AI #ESG

In case someone is interested in how to crash MacOS no matter how much RAM you have: Accidentally load a 50+GB size video into another video (instead of loading the intended 5MB photo). It's impressive how the power button becomes the only way out :-).

Yes, AI and VM are the big topics of the day. A quarter century after the virtual machine was 'discovered'.

This is one interesting discussion on VMware licensing (on Reddit): www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/c... #virtualization

Quick chat with @jfrey80.bsky.social about #HPEDiscover 2025 in Vegas. #AIFactory was the top level theme for the entire conference, but there were many interesting 'sub topics', including the renaissance of #virtualization and the hunt for operational excellence. #ESG. youtu.be/wOvORB7-MKQ...

The sphere is nice and all, but the Palazzo needs to clean its windows :)

Morpheus, OpsRamp and Zerto are three components of the HPE Cloud Ops Software Suite. #HPEDiscover #HybridCloud

Freaking amazing FX at #HPEDiscover keynote. Very innovation focused. Clear purpose of HPE advance how people live and work.

HPE Discover keynote about to start! #HPEDiscover #AIFactory

Fun podcast with Beth Pariseau from @techtargetnews.bsky.social on the importance of GenAI for application modernization. -> GenAI and business transformation podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g... #ESG

Top swear words and top company names in the linux kernel code. Very cool web app by vidarholen. Guess the top swear word and company BEFORE opening the chart :-).

Kubernetes uses 100 out of the appr. 300 possible Linux system calls for its container orchestration tasks. I dug into this topic a little and here's my blog post: www.techtarget.com/searchitoper... #Linux #Kubernetes #CloudNative

This week's Enterprise Technology Newsletter includes new releases from VMware, Google Cloud, Diagrid, and Nirmata. All about enhancing developer productivity: www.linkedin.com/pulse/agenti...

Very curious to give Gemini 2.5 pro a go this week. Let's see if Google has finally started catching up... #GenAI #GoogleCloudNext

GKE Inference Gateway is an interesting announcement today at #GoogleCloudNext -> optimizing LLM performance and resource consumption on Google's GKE managed #Kubernetes offering. #ESG -> integration between AI and cloud infrastructure is key.

Added a 2:12 min highlight reel of all 14 KubeCon London 2025 interviews to my article: www.linkedin.com/pulse/turboc...

Data on Kubernetes gets real—sessions at KubeCon highlight managing large-scale data and AI-driven data workloads. #DataOps ->

74% of sessions at #KubeCon 2025 here in London are directly (139) or indirectly (274) about #AI and #GenAI. torstenvolk.medium.com/ai-and-the-d... #ESG #Kubernetes #CloudNative #CICD #CNCF

#KubeCon time! Look forward to seeing everyone #ESG. Might even talk a bit about agentic AI on Kubernetes, you never know :-).

Wow, #OpenManus certainly is the fastest project I have ever seen making it to 30k github stars. Very impressive. #AI github.com/mannaandpoem... #ESG

This week’s app modernization newsletter is all about automation as the basis for scalability. #appmod #wasm #intersight #biggy #aiobservability. www.linkedin.com/pulse/taming... #esg

Wow, at least MapQuest seems to have some integrity. #GulfofMexico -> seems like a little thing to get hung up on considering what's going on right now, but seeing the name changes on Google Maps and Apple Maps is surreal.

Just wow. Both Apple and Google succumbed. I have no words for this.

Great time at @dynatrace.com #perform2025 in Vegas this week. Working on a summary from a developer’s perspective. #ESG #observability #devsecops

Fed all the Dynatrace #Perform2025 keynotes into my #RAG and asked for the 5 most important concepts. Here's what it came up with, and I'm specifically thrilled with #5 -> Observability, AI-powered analytics, preventive operations, cloud security, developer productivity
