Kubernetes is the bottleneck, and you can get through it with a platform
Photo by Daniel Bryant. Another great KubeCon talk from Abby Bangser imploring the Kubernetes people to remember how important platforms are: they make all of his stuff usable for developers and valuable to the organizations that run it all.

Platform engineering for AI stacks
Your AI stack needs to have DevX, thus, a platform: I think it’s a sign of maturity that even when you mix in cloud native development with the current AI hype, organizations are actually realizing that developers are still the internal customers who need platforms as products.
