#Kubernetes workloads are evolving—so should your gateway. With AI agents running on Kubernetes clusters, teams must address key questions: 🤖 How securely do AI workloads connect to LLM providers? 💰 How do we control usage-based costs for external AI services? 🔑 How should credentials and backup models be managed? The #kgateway roadmap prioritizes AI traffic control, adding declarative APIs for routing AI workloads securely and efficiently. Join us as we shape the future of cloud-native traffic control! 📌 Read more: https://lnkd.in/d4fPtz29 #AI #CloudNative #LLM #APIGateway

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐭 𝐖𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠: 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐊𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐂𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐀 2024 Did you know that sometimes, 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐭𝐲 can drive more success? 🌐 At KubeCon NA 2024, Christian Posta and Louis Ryan from solo.io shared critical lessons from 𝐈𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨'𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲, and it’s a powerful reminder for the cloud-native ecosystem—𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬. While Istio started with grand ambitions, its early versions struggled due to an overly complex architecture, an overload of features, and a lack of focus. As a result, many early adopters found themselves overwhelmed. The initial release of 𝐈𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨 1.0 in 2018 was a key moment—users faced frustrating challenges like failing installations and unclear use cases. Fast forward, and the focus has shifted towards simpler, modular components that meet users’ real needs without overwhelming them. For 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐎𝐩𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬 and 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬, this lesson is more than just a history lesson—it's a 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. When adopting new technologies like 𝐊𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 or 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, keep it simple and focused. Here’s how: - 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥: Pick one core use case and build on that. Don’t try to solve every problem in your initial release. - 𝐈𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲: Focus on delivering incremental, valuable updates rather than overloading the system with features no one asked for. - 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: As workloads, particularly AI-driven infrastructures, scale, Kubernetes can support these needs—but only if its architecture remains streamlined and flexible. Take a page from Istio’s playbook: 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲, 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞, and 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝. This approach can help avoid the pitfalls of complexity that many organizations face when adopting new tech. 👉 Check out this insightful talk on Istio’s evolution and how it can inform Kubernetes’ future, especially when integrating AI workloads: What Istio Got Wrong: Learnings from the Last Seven Years of Service Mesh - Christian Posta & Louis Ryan, Solo.io - https://lnkd.in/dT_HiFf3 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐊𝐮𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬?
