2025/12/17

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. As data teams move from internal projects to revenue-critical, customer-facing

Rob Whiteley, CEO of Coder, argues that the biggest winners in today’s AI boom resemble the “picks and shovels” sellers of the California Gold Rush: companies that provide tools enabling others to build with AI. 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. Developers are rapidly adopting AI tools, while platform teams face pressure to approve them, as saying “no” is no longer viable. Whiteley

How Nutanix Is Taming Operational Complexity

The New Stack Podcast ·

2025/12/15

Many enterprises now run workloads across multiple IT infrastructures rather than a single environment. According to Nutanix, about 60% of organizations deploy this way, creating significant operational challenges. In an episode ofThe New Stack Makers, Deepak Goel, CTO for cloud native at Nutanix, outlined three major issues: operational complexity combined with a shortage of cloud native skills, the difficulty of migrating legacy VM-based workloads to microservices-oriented platforms, and the

Kubernetes GPU Management Just Got a Major Upgrade

2025/12/11

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

The New Stack Podcast ·

2025/12/10

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

2025/12/09

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

2025/12/05

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. Although not designed specifically for

JupyterLite, a fully browser-based distribution of JupyterLab, is enabling new levels of global scalability in technical education. Developed by Sylvain Corlay’s QuantStack team, it allows math and programming lessons to run entirely in students’ browsers — kernel included — without relying on Docker or cloud-scale infrastructure.

AWS’s approach to Elastic Kubernetes Service has evolved significantly since its 2018 launch. According to Mike Stefanik, Senior Manager of Product Management for EKS and ECR, today’s users increasingly represent the late majority—teams that want Kubernetes without managing every component themselves. In a conversation onThe New Stack Makers, Stefanik described how AI workloads are reshaping Kubernetes operations and why AWS open-sourced an MCP server for EKS.

How Kubernetes Became the New Linux

Major banks once built their own Linux kernels because no distributions existed, but today commercial distros — and Kubernetes — are universal. At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, AWS’s Jesse Butler noted that Kubernetes has reached the same maturity Linux once did: organizations no longer build bespoke control planes but rely on shared standards. That shift influences how AWS contributes to open source, emphasizing community-wide solutions rather than AWS-specific products.Butler highlighted

Clockwork began with a narrow goal—keeping clocks synchronized across servers—but soon realized that its precise latency measurements could reveal deeper data center networking issues. This insight led the company to build a hardware-agnostic monitoring and remediation platform capable of automatically routing around faults. Today, Clockwork’s technology is especially valuable for large GPU clusters used in training LLMs, where communication efficiency and reliability are critical. CEO Suresh
