In my previous article, we explored the high-level, multi-plane architecture of OpenChoreo. We discussed how this CNCF Sandbox project acts as a complete, modular developer platform that augments Kubernetes rather than hiding it behind a black box. ...
Many organizations invest in internal developer platforms (IDPs) to reduce cognitive load and enforce organization-wide standards. However, designing, building, and maintaining a production-grade platform on top of Kubernetes is inherently complex. Platform teams are often burdened with managing the Kubernetes API, integrating CI/CD and observability tooling, and configuring multi-tenancy access controls. ...
Why you should become a Kubestronaut If you work in DevOps, Cloud-Native, or Platform Engineering, you already know that Kubernetes is the undisputed boss level of modern infrastructure. But mastering it—and proving that mastery to employers—is no small feat. ...
I recently wrapped up an engagement with a customer where we partnered with their engineering team to refactor a critical piece of their stack: a complex media processing pipeline. For the purpose of confidentiality, I will not disclose the customer’s name or the specific details of the project. I will refer to the customer as “the customer” and the project as “the project”.

This tutorial demonstrates how to deploy the Llama-3.1–8B-Instruct model on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) using vLLM and integrating an ADK agent to interact with the model, supporting both basic chat completions and tool usage. The setup leverages a GKE Autopilot cluster with GPU-enabled nodes to handle the computational requirements. ...
