Pixie is an open source observability tool for Kubernetes applications. Pixie automatically collects telemetry data, including full-body requests, resource and network metrics, application profiles, and more. Using Pixie, developers can view the high-level state of their cluster (service maps, cluster resources, application traffic) and also drill down into more detailed views (pod state, flame graphs) without having to modify or redeploy their code.

Platform engineering is great, but can you have too much of it? A recent survey shows that in large organizations, you *can* have too many platforms. A recent survey of large organizations shows that using more platforms results in more difficulties. Instead, platform standardization and centralization are key to reducing cognitive load and improving efficiency. Using fewer platforms benefits both developers and management by minimizing complexity and operational headaches.

How might we realize the value of AI without blowing up any businesses? Artificial intelligence can bring transformative potential. The AI/ML promise comes with risks, challenges and unknowns.

Tanzu Developer Advocate and Enlightning host Whitney Lee speaks with Tanzu Solutions Architect, Alex Barbato to unpack the Software Bill of Material (SBOM). SBOMs have gained a lot of attention in the past decade, most recently as a result of a slew of White House Executive Orders on improving cybersecurity and service delivery. Listen in as they discuss the most common use cases for SBOMs, using CVEs for triage and remediation, as well as the Vulnerability Exploitability Exchange (VEX), and much more!

Fresh from working on developer platforms at Uber, Serdar Badem tells us his experience working on improving developer productivity. He's working at Tanzu now and so he also discusses the work we're doing to help improve developer productivity.

Security is something we all need, and something we would all love to forget about. 🙂 Kubescape is a CNCF project that helps to secure your clusters easily and quickly. It helps you validate the configuration of your control plane, workloads, and RBAC; and it finds vulnerabilities, cutting the noise very effectively. In general, Kubescape assists with hardening configurations like network policies and seccomp profiles.
