Internal Developer Platforms – Build vs. Buy
From Abby Bangser’s KubeCon US 2025 keynote: Now, I’m sure that at least some of you are shaking your heads and thinking, I’m saying we have to all build our own PaaS. Haven’t we been there before with platforms as a service? But I am absolutely not suggesting that we walk up to Sisyphus, give…

Kubernetes use rising, large organizations slowest to adapt, not many people train their own AI model or deploy new AI models frequently
The new CNCF cloud native report shows a continual spread of Kubernetes, and container usage, in organizations. The chart above shows a shift from experimenting with Kubernetes to trying it out in production, to running in production. At the same time, containers, as you’d expect, are also moving steadily into production. Application containers in production…

This week’s Tanzu Catsup: AI tools have solved code generation, probably. But they’ve created a new constraint: Day 2 operations. When the volume of applications jumps 10x driven by a flood of “small” line-of-business apps manual “run teams” and traditional onboarding processes break down. Hey guys! Like and subscribe.

Adding security and governance to Model Context Protocol – How Broadcom uses MCP
Here’s the benefits Broadcom is getting from using MCP (running on Tanzu Platform): This capability allows for seamless task completion, such as linking internal ticketing systems directly through to code commitment, significantly reducing the time required for ticket resolution. Specifically, developers can utilize natural language processing to direct an AI agent to find their next…

Infrastructure self-harm
That wasn’t what we hoped would happen when nearly 10 years ago we and others came up with these new automated technologies around Kubernetes. We thought we would make things easier, more automated, safer, more compliant. And instead, people seem to be getting more and more stuck. And that’s partly because systems have grown. We’re…

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…

The platform that needs a platform
How big is the Kubernetes market? Here’s an estimate from a recent IDC PDF: The rapid growth of cloud-native applications, driven by DevOps, containers, and microservices, has made container orchestration a critical capability because containers are challenging to manage at scale without an orchestration layer. This trend is driving significant market growth, with IDC forecasting…

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. You can’t just say ‘get on with it’…

Feels a little bit like a platform standard so powerful that you need an AI front-end to make it usable by mere mortals.
Yes: Kubernetes started as a way to orchestrate containers, but its true innovation lies in its API model. The declarative resource pattern, with its desired state, actual state and continuous reconciliation, has proven to be a universal abstraction. It works for workloads, infrastructure, policies and more. That universality is why Kubernetes has become the foundation…

Remember when DevSecOps was all the rage?
Enterprises are till trying to figure out DevSecOps: [M]any organizations remain stuck in siloed approaches that pose problems due to competing demands for speed, efficiency and risk reduction. Enterprises that effectively integrate security into software development and deployment–both through platforms and tools, and via cross-team collaboration– are better positioned to drive velocity, quality and innovation…
