KubeCon Paris Highlights and AI Spotlight on K8sGPT - OpenObservability Talks S4E11

KubeCon Europe 2024 in Paris was the biggest event of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) to date, with over 12k participants. Have you missed it? We've got you covered! Join not one but two CNCF Ambassadors as they explore the latest and greatest highlights from the event that every tech enthusiast is talking about.   But that's not all! We'll also zoom in on K8sgpt, a new entrant to the CNCF’s sandbox that uses generative AI to give Kubernetes superpowers to everyone. Does this open source project go beyond the GenAI hype and get us closer to diagnosing and triaging issues in plain English? Let’s ask the maintainers behind the project. Our guest is Thomas Schuetz, a Principal Cloud Architect with a keen interest in cloud-native application delivery. Thomas teaches at an Austrian University of Applied Sciences, focusing on cloud-native technologies. Thomas is enthusiastic about open source projects, contributing as a Keptn GC Member and K8sGPT Maintainer, alongside his role as Co-Chair of the CNCF TAG App Delivery. He also brings a deep industry background from his past roles at Dynatrace and more.
