KU052: Wasm is Not Here to Take Your Containers Mar 28, 2024

Show notes

Is WebAssembly (Wasm) here to replace containers? Not really, says guest Matt Butcher. Instead, Wasm is here for a specific kind of workload: One that needs to start super fast (under a millisecond), handle something, and then shutdown. Containers are still best for running very long, I/O intensive multithreaded workloads. Matt, Michael, and Kristina discuss... Read more »

KU049: Security Frameworks, Tools, and Strategies for Kubernetes Feb 29, 2024

Kubernetes is designed to be highly scalable and highly dynamic… a perfect habitat for cryptominers to terminal shell into and then exploit your workload’s resources to the max. And that’s just one example of security threats Kubernetes users need to prepare against. Nigel Douglas from Sysdig joins Michael Levan and Kristina Devochko to give you... Read more »

KU048: Platforms in the Clouds Feb 15, 2024

Show notes

What are we talking about when we are all talking about private clouds? On-prem? Hybrid? Virtualization?

Driven by Broadcom’s acquisition of VMare and the anticipated rising costs of VMare licenses, enterprises are exploring... Read more »
