How to treat platforms as products, how to meaningfully measure success, and where Gen-AI + observability collide from knowledge discovery to automated remediation (and the guardrails we must design).

Node Readiness Controller. This project introduces a declarative system for managing node taints, extending the readiness guardrails during node bootstrapping beyond standard conditions.

I hope you find this 🧵 helpful, writing, enabling, & executing policy as code, not only a prerequisite, but it's a demand for battle-tested and resilient infra. Share your thoughts on CEDAR's new approach to writing policies & defending clusters ✍️ 👇

(7/7) An exciting aspect to me is the ability to enforce label-based access control decisions in a cluster. This enables you to partition a K8s cluster not by namespaces, but by k/v label presence. See the launch blog for an example of how this can work. cedarpolicy.com/blog/cedar-for…

@cloudnativeboy @cloudnativefm Would love to show more about !

🚀 Really excited to share the first preview of SAIL : Serverless Agentic Infrastructure Layer, my new pet project. When you leave the port you go sail ;)
➡️ Deploy agents with a simple Custom Resource where you just define user and system prompt, eventually a list of MCP server that you want to connect to.
➡️ A dynamic registry will automatically inject the list of available agents to the context.
➡️ When agents are done they just scale back to 0 !
➡️ All messages are stored in a Kafka Topic allowing interesting stream processing and rich context building.
It's using @KnativeProject under the hood, @apachekafka and @valkey_io , for those 2 I'm using the free tier provided by @aiven_io , thank you for that #FreeTierKafka !
The base image for the agents have been built with @QuarkusIO 🩷
Website and repo should be up next week (and the bonus Pluribus mode where all the agents share the same memory 🤯 ) !

@fidjissimo How can we test this? But let's move on "ads will not influence the answers ChatGPT gives you."

Sharing our principles for how we will approach ads in ChatGPT before we start testing in the U.S. in the coming weeks. Most importantly: ads will not influence the answers ChatGPT gives you.

MIT says ~95% of GenAI pilots show no measurable P&L impact. Wharton finds ~75% of firms report positive ROI. Different questions = different headlines.

Let me reiterate (8/8)
Internal Developer Platforms are not a fancy web UI where developers click buttons.
Design like a public cloud: services → APIs → UIs.
