Kubernetes, AI, and platform engineering, build, build, build

AI is here. It’s hungry. It’s expensive. And Kubernetes is the only thing big enough to feed it. … Kubernetes is no longer the platform for apps. It’s becoming the substrate for AI-driven systems.

And then you add platform engineering to build a platform around it for self-service access to AI, so long as you satisfy: “Security wants policy and audit trails. Leadership wants predictable costs and explainability.”

Platform for building a platform. Or, you could builds apps instead of platforms.
