12: Kubernetes Maturity, Cost Optimization, Automation & AI with Viktor Farcic

Welcome to another episode of Densify Talks! Andrew Hillier has a fun and informative conversation with Viktor Farcic. Viktor considers himself a technology critic (think of the old muppet critics on the balcony) and rapscallion. We think he’s also quite the thought leader and author, with some very bold insights on technology that are worth hearing! See Viktor’s biography below for more information about him.

Introducing Kubex: Tackling the Kubernetes Blind Spot

Kubernetes (K8s) has transformed cloud-native infrastructure, enabling enterprises to build scalable, agile environments. Yet, alongside its benefits, Kubernetes introduces a significant blind spot —a rapidly growing part of cloud budgets that has become more and more difficult to optimize. Excess spend is common, and is caused by incorrectly specified container resources, stranding tremendous amounts of resources while at the same time introducing significant operational risk.
