Julia Blase, Product Manager at Chronosphere, discusses a data-driven approach to optimize metrics collection in Kubernetes. She emphasizes the importance of analyzing metrics usage through dashboards, monitors, and API calls to identify unused data. Teams working with Chronosphere have achieved up to 60% reduction in data collection by removing unused metrics. This optimization leads to lower infrastructure costs and faster debugging as developers can focus on relevant data instead of navigating through unused dashboards.

Asif, Founder and CPO at StackGen, discusses the shift away from Terraform in infrastructure management. He challenges the common narrative that drift detection drives this change, explaining that the real issue is Terraform's day-to-day complexity. He highlights how SREs make direct cloud resource changes to maintain system reliability and why automatically overriding these changes with tools like Crossplane isn't always the right approach. He suggests that the solution combines better drift reconciliation with abstraction layers that shield developers from infrastructure complexity.

Harness has launched a new lightweight, open source DevOps platform that combines multiple development tools into a unified solution. The platform includes: - A cloud development environment - Git repository management - CI/CD pipelines - Artifact registry This integrated platform eliminates the need to stitch together multiple tools — a common challenge in Kubernetes development. Practitioners can get started quickly with a 10-minute local installation. The release extends Harness's open source portfolio, which includes contributions to Litmus (CNCF chaos engineering), OpenTofu, and the Drone CI project.

Xe shares their journey in building a "compute as a faucet" home lab where infrastructure becomes invisible and tasks can be executed without manual intervention. You will learn: - How to evaluate operating systems for your home lab — from Rocky Linux to Talos Linux, and why minimal, immutable operating systems are gaining traction. - How to implement a three-tier storage strategy combining Longhorn (replicated storage), NFS (bulk storage), and S3 (cloud storage) to handle different workload requirements. - How to secure your home lab with certificate-based authentication, WireGuard VPN, and proper DNS configuration while protecting your home IP address.

Fahd, a Partner Engineer at Google Cloud, shares his insights on the complexities of running Kubernetes on bare metal in on-premises environments. Fahd advises organizations to critically assess their need for on-premises Kubernetes and consider managed solutions like OpenShift, Rancher, or Anthos. He highlights the importance of support and maintenance, noting that Kubernetes in production requires careful decision-making.
