#054 - From Shiny Objects to FinOps: Taming Cloud Costs in the AI Era with Josh Schlanger (CloudX...

In this episode of the Kubernetes for Humans podcast, we are joined by infrastructure and FinOps expert Josh Schlanger. Drawing on over 15 years of experience across Martech, e-commerce, and health tech, Josh shares why solving core business problems should always take priority over chasing new, "shiny object" technologies.

[Webinar] Conquering the Complexity of Self-Hosted Apps with Agentic AI SRE

Most enterprise SaaS products, like Komodor’s Autonomous AI SRE Platform, require installing a remote agent on the customer’s infrastructure, which varies significantly from one organization to another, in terms of architecture, configurations, permissions, processes, and more. This “unmanaged” model creates major blind spots, making daily operations, observability, debugging, and incident response challenging. When failures occur, limited visibility and bespoke systems make root-cause analysis slow, incomplete, or impossible.

#053 - The Road to Distributed AI and Kubernetes Infrastructure with Matt Butcher (Fermyon) & Ari...

They share their professional origins, highlighting how Kubernetes transitioned from a complex tool for experts to a foundational technology for global enterprises.. Part of the conversation focuses on the history of Helm, explaining its growth from a simple hackathon project into a standard package manager. Another part takes on the future of distributed computing, specifically how Akamai is integrating infrastructure as a service to support modern workloads.

#052 - The "Short Long Path": Mastering Abstraction, Culture, and Kubernetes Scale with Shemer M...

In this episode, Itiel joins forces with Shemer, Director of Platform Solutions at the gaming giant Playtika, and Scott Rosenberg, Lead Architect at TeraSky, to discuss the realities of platform engineering at a massive scale. The trio dissects Playtika’s multi-year journey from a legacy, homegrown Kubespray infrastructure to a modern, holistic platform built on Spectro Cloud, all while running strictly on-premise to support 25+ games and high-volume traffic.

#051 - Surviving the Shift: From Legacy Monoliths to Day 2 Chaos with Hayato Shimizu (Digitalis)

From the early days of "neural nets" and WebSphere to the modern complexities of Kubernetes, Hayato Shimizu has seen the evolution of infrastructure firsthand. In this episode of Kubernetes for Humans, the co-founder of Digitalis joins the show to discuss the harsh realities of enterprise platform engineering and his personal journey from corporate employee to consultancy owner.

[Webinar] Building Quality-Driven Agentic AI in Noisy Big Data Environments

Watch as Itiel Shwartz, Komodor CTO and Co-Founder as he shares hard-won lessons from developing an AI agent that processes millions of K8s events daily to deliver autonomous troubleshooting that reached 95%+ accuracy in benchmarking. This webinar covers: Building production ready systems that maintain reliability when 90% of your data is noise. How Komodor developed an AI SRE agent that processes millions of K8s events daily to deliver autonomous troubleshooting that reached 95%+ accuracy in benchmarking.

[Webinar] Accelerating Kubernetes Intelligence: Cisco's Platform Evolution

Join Hasith Kalpage, Director of Platform Engineering , and Arthur Drozdov, Agentic AI Engineer, as they share how Cisco is using Komodor’s Klaudia Agentic AI to evolve its platform strategy, to unlock smoother developer experience, slash MTTR, and reduce bottlenecks across the enterprise. – Including a live demo of the CAIPE platform!

#050 - Data Protection and Kubernetes Resilience with Michael Cade & Julia Furst Morgado (Veeam)

In this episode Itiel hosts Veeam experts Julia and Michael, to share their distinct paths into cloud-native technology. Julia discusses her transition from a background in law and marketing to becoming a CNCF ambassador and AWS container hero. Michael, a veteran who has been with Veeam for over 10 years, details his traditional CIS admin background (virtualization, storage) and the evolution of this role into platform engineering.

[WEBINAR] From Blueprint to Production: A Live Workshop for Creating an MCP Server for Kubernetes

In this hands-on workshop, we covered how to build your own MCP server from scratch and connect it to AI tools like Cursor IDE or Claude Desktop. The first half is a live coding session you can follow along with to set up an MCP server for Kubernetes troubleshooting. In the second half, we take you behind the scenes at Komodor to show how we built our MCP Server MVP: a powerful bridge between AI assistants and Kubernetes infrastructure. This is just part of the 'magic' that helps the Klaudia agentic AI technology power Komodor's AI SRE Platform.
