Andrew Hillier sits down with Dan Ciruli, who leads the cloud native product management team at Nutanix. Dan’s got some great stories from his days at Google—back when cloud native and Kubernetes were just getting started, in addition to the knowledge and wisdom he picked up along the way.

Scaled Kubernetes Resource Management Requires Cross-Team Collaboration

As organizations scale their Kubernetes infrastructure, one truth becomes clear: no single team can optimize it alone. Efficiency, resilience, and cost-effectiveness in Kubernetes environments depend on the collective effort of multiple personas, each bringing essential knowledge and responsibility. But it’s not just about division of labor. It’s about active collaboration across roles to unlock the full potential of the platform.

Automating Kubernetes Resource Optimization: Strategies for Efficient, Scalable Workloads

Kubernetes gives you the amazing power to deploy and manage containerized applications. But this power comes with a trade-off. Instead of letting you focus only on writing code and delivering features, Kubernetes also shifts the burden of resource optimization i.e., cost control, performance, and scalability, directly onto your shoulders. The answer to these challenges is automation. Automated optimization takes the guesswork out of resource allocation.

13: Effective Resource Optimization and Kubernetes Insights with Daniele Polencic

Kubernetes, container resources, request and limits, sizing, the impact of getting things wrong, CPU limits, JVMs, HPA and VPA, does Karpenter fix the request and limit problem? We’ve got a great episode for you today! Thanks for joining us on Densify Talks! We welcome Daniele Polencic, one of the lead instructors at LearnK8s, which specializes in containers and Kubernetes technologies.

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.
