CloudBees CEO: Why Migration Is a Mirage Costing You...

The New Stack Podcast ·

2026/01/13

A CloudBees survey reveals that enterprise migration projects often fail to deliver promised modernization benefits. In 2024, 57% of enterprises spent over $1 million on migrations, with average overruns costing $315,000 per project. In The New Stack Makers podcast, CloudBees CEO Anuj Kapur describes this pattern as “the migration mirage,” where organizations chase modernization through costly migrations that push value further into the future. Findings from the CloudBees 2025 DevOps Migration Index

IBM’s recent acquisitions of Red Hat, HashiCorp, and its planned purchase of Confluent reflect a deliberate strategy to build the infrastructure required for enterprise AI. According to IBM’s Sanil Nambiar, AI depends on consistent hybrid cloud runtimes (Red Hat), programmable and automated infrastructure (HashiCorp), and real-time, trustworthy data (Confluent). Without these foundations, AI cannot function effectively. Nambiar argues that modern, software-defined networks have become too complex

Ari Zilka, founder of MyDecisive.ai and former Hortonworks CPO, argues that most observability vendors now offer essentially identical, reactive dashboards that highlight problems only after systems are already broken. After speaking with all 23 observability vendors at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025, Zilka said these tools fail to meaningfully reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR), a long-standing demand he heard repeatedly from thousands of CIOs during his time at New Relic.Zilka

Why You Can't Build AI Without Progressive Delivery

The New Stack Podcast ·

2025/12/23

Former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke’s claim that AI-based development requires progressive delivery frames a conversation between analyst James Governor and The New Stack’s Alex Williams about why modern release practices matter more than ever. Governor argues that AI systems behave unpredictably in production: models can hallucinate, outputs vary between versions, and changes are often non-deterministic. Because of this uncertainty, teams must rely on progressive delivery techniques such as feature

How Nutanix Is Taming Operational Complexity

2025/12/18

Most enterprises today run workloads across multiple IT infrastructures rather than a single platform, creating significant operational challenges. According to Nutanix CTO Deepak Goel, organizations face three major hurdles: managing operational complexity amid a shortage of cloud-native skills, migrating legacy virtual machine (VM) workloads to microservices-based cloud-native platforms, and running VM-based workloads alongside containerized applications. Many engineers have deep infrastructure

GPUs dominate today’s AI landscape, but Google argues they are not necessary for every workload. As AI adoption has grown, customers have increasingly demanded compute options that deliver high performance with lower cost and power consumption. Drawing on its long history of custom silicon, Google introduced Axion CPUs in 2024 to meet needs for massive scale, flexibility, and general-purpose computing alongside AI workloads. The Axion-based C4A instance is generally available, while the newer N4A

Enterprises are racing to deploy AI services, but the teams responsible for running them in production are seeing familiar problems reemerge—most notably, silos between data scientists and operations teams, reminiscent of the old DevOps divide. In a discussion recorded at AWS re:Invent 2025, IBM’s Thanos Matzanas and Martin Fuentes argue that the challenge isn’t new technology but repeating organizational patterns.

Speaking onThe New Stack Makersat AWS re:Invent, Whiteley described the current AI moment as the fastest-moving shift he’s seen in 25 years of tech.

Many enterprises now run workloads across multiple IT infrastructures rather than a single environment.

Nvidia Distinguished Engineer Kevin Klues noted that low-level systems work is invisible when done well and highly visible when it fails — a dynamic that frames current Kubernetes innovations for AI. At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025, Klues and AWS product manager Jesse Butler discussed two emerging capabilities: dynamic resource allocation (DRA) and a new workload abstraction designed for sophisticated AI scheduling.DRA, now generally available in Kubernetes 1.34, fixes long-standing

The Rise of the Cognitive Architect

At KubeCon North America 2025, GitLab’s Emilio Salvador outlined how developers are shifting from individual coders to leaders of hybrid human–AI teams. He envisions developers evolving into “cognitive architects,” responsible for breaking down large, complex problems and distributing work across both AI agents and humans. Complementing this is the emerging role of the “AI guardian,” reflecting growing skepticism around AI-generated code. Even as AI produces more code, humans remain accountable for

Jonathan Bryce, the new CNCF executive director, argues that inference—not model training—will define the next decade of computing. Speaking at KubeCon North America 2025, he emphasized that while the industry obsesses over massive LLM training runs, the real opportunity lies in efficiently serving these models at scale. Cloud-native infrastructure, he says, is uniquely suited to this shift because inference requires real-time deployment, security, scaling, and observability—strengths of the CNCF

The etcd project — a distributed key-value store older than Kubernetes — recently faced significant challenges due to maintainer turnover and the resulting loss of unwritten institutional knowledge. Lead maintainer Marek Siarkowicz explained that as longtime contributors left, crucial expertise about testing procedures and correctness guarantees disappeared. This gap led to a problematic release that introduced critical reliability issues, including potential data inconsistencies after crashes.To

Helm — originally a hackathon project called Kate’s Place — turned 10 in 2025, marking the milestone with the release of Helm 4, its first major update in six years. Created by Matt Butcher and colleagues as a playful take on “K8s,” the early project won a small prize but quickly grew into a serious effort when Deus leadership recognized the need for a Kubernetes package manager. Renamed Helm, it rapidly expanded with community contributors and became one of the first CNCF graduating projects.Helm 4

Kubernetes has relied on role-based access control (RBAC) since 2017, but its simplicity limits what developers can express, said Micah Hausler, principal engineer at AWS, on The New Stack Makers. RBAC only allows actions; it can’t enforce conditions, denials, or attribute-based rules. Seeking a more expressive authorization model for Kubernetes, Hausler explored Cedar, an authorization engine and policy language created at AWS in 2022 and later open-sourced.
