The next wave of AI: Open source, robotics & the future of India's tech powerhouse

As we kick off 2026, the tech landscape is being reshaped by the very breakthroughs discussed at Civo Navigate India 2025. This panel, featuring Josh Mesout, Murthy Chitlur, Chirotpal Das and Anjali Batra, laid the groundwork for the AI-driven world we are operating in today. From the rise of agentic AI and small language models to the massive shift toward open-source parity, these experts didn't just discuss trends; they provided the blueprint for building resilient, sovereign, and scalable AI infrastructure in India.

AI SRE in Practice: Diagnosing Configuration Drift in Deployment Failures

Deployments fail for dozens of reasons. Most of them are obvious from the error messages or pod events. But when a deployment rolls out successfully according to Kubernetes but your application starts experiencing latency spikes and error rate increases, the investigation becomes significantly harder. This scenario walks through a configuration drift incident where the deployment appeared healthy but available replicas were constantly flapping, creating cascading reliability issues.

India's path to digital independence: AI, Cloud, and Sovereignty

Digital sovereignty has moved from theory to necessity as organizations grapple with data control and independence. At Civo Navigate India 2025, Rahul Poruri, Toshal Khawale, Deepthi Anantharam, and Kunal Kushwaha examined how nations are balancing innovation with the need for multi-jurisdictional compliance.

Why container security only works when the platform owns it

Container security has finally gone mainstream. When Docker announced hardened container images in late 2025, complete with minimal attack surfaces, non-root defaults, continuous CVE scanning, and automated updates, the response was enthusiastic. For teams managing their own infrastructure, this was a real step forward. Secure-by-default containers are no longer niche or expensive. They are expected.

Kubernetes Networking at Scale: From Tool Sprawl to a Unified Solution

As Kubernetes platforms scale, one part of the system consistently resists standardization and predictability: networking. While compute and storage have largely matured into predictable, operationally stable subsystems, networking remains a primary source of complexity and operational risk This complexity is not the result of missing features or immature technology.

From IPVS to NFTables: A Migration Guide for Kubernetes v1.35

Kubernetes v1.35 marks an important turning point for cluster networking. The IPVS backend for kube-proxy has been officially deprecated, and future Kubernetes releases will remove it entirely. If your clusters still rely on IPVS, the clock is now very much ticking. Staying on IPVS is not just a matter of running older technology. As upstream support winds down, IPVS receives less testing, fewer fixes, and less attention overall.
