Aflevering 121: SBOM or Be Doomed: Surviving the Next Supply-Chain Meltdown

Soroosh takes us deep into the evolving threat landscape. From classic vulnerabilities like SQL injection to modern supply-chain attacks and the infamous XZ backdoor, he explains how seemingly small weaknesses can cascade into full-cluster compromise

Luca and Greg explain how the idea for the book started: most Kubernetes books do a great job explaining theory, but very few show how to solve the messy, real-world issues engineers actually face.

In this episode, we talk with Abdel Sghiouar and Mofi Rahman, Developer Advocates at Google and (guest) hosts of the Kubernetes Podcast from Google. Together, we dive into one central question: can you truly run LLMs reliably and at scale on Kubernetes?

Travis shares the story of how Rook started back in 2016 when Kubernetes was still young and how it became the bridge that made Ceph, a powerful but complex storage system, usable in the cloud-native era.

We explore the real question: Why does Kubernetes need policies if it’s already declarative? Jim explains how policy as code helps developers, operators, and security teams collaborate on cluster configuration at scale.

Carlos joins us to explore what it really takes to run AI workloads on Kubernetes, from GPU scheduling to scaling inference and training efficiently across clusters.

A fascinating deep dive into what’s next for CRDs, extensibility, and how academia and open source innovation intersect in the Kubernetes world.

Nicolas helps us unpack why tracing is often the missing pillar of observability — and whether it might one day make traditional logs obsolete. Loft Labs’ open-source project that lets you run full virtual Kubernetes clusters inside another cluster.

James, who is also a maintainer of Ingress-NGINX, explains why the project is being phased out and how the community is building its successor
