Fresh data has us asking, does AI demand Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is rapidly emerging as the de facto operating system for AI, with two-thirds of organizations using it for generative AI inference and 82% adopting it in production. Its ecosystem — including tools like Kubeflow — enables organizations to build, scale, and retain control of AI systems through open, community-driven infrastructure. Bob Killen of CNCF and Liam Bollmann-Dodd of SlashData shared insights from recent reports showing that AI success still hinges on strong engineering fundamentals—especially internal developer platforms and overall developer experience.
While AI-generated code accelerates development, it shifts bottlenecks to DevOps, reliability, and security, increasing operational complexity. As a result, operator experience and well-defined guardrails have become critical to safely scaling AI. These controls help constrain both human and AI developers, reducing risk while enabling speed. At the same time, organizations are evolving team structures, expanding platform engineering groups to support internal users more effectively. Despite growing complexity, the core lesson remains consistent: open source innovation thrives on people, processes, and collaboration as much as on technology itself.

The next stages of AI conformance in the cloud-native, open-source world
Running AI models on Kubernetes has historically been inconsistent, with workloads behaving differently across cloud providers due to variations in GPUs, networking, and autoscaling. As organizations move AI from experimentation to production, standardization has become critical. In this episode of The New Stack Makers, Jonathan Bryce, Executive Director of The Cloud Native Computing Foundation shared that the Foundation’s Kubernetes AI conformance program aims to solve this by ensuring portability, predictability, and production readiness for AI workloads across environments.
The initiative reflects a broader industry shift: AI is moving from training-heavy workloads to inference at scale, with inference expected to dominate compute usage by the end of the decade. Unlike batch-based training, inference requires real-time, always-on performance, making Kubernetes an attractive platform due to its elasticity, GPU-aware autoscaling, and observability.
The conformance program establishes baseline standards for handling accelerators like GPUs and TPUs, reducing vendor lock-in and simplifying deployment. Early adopters include major cloud providers and ecosystem players, while new projects like llm-d aim to bridge orchestration and inference. As requirements evolve, ongoing collaboration and recertification will ensure the standards stay aligned with real-world needs.

CTO Chris Aniszczyk on the CNCF push for AI interoperability
Chris Aniszczyk, co-founder and CTO of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), argues that AI agents resemble microservices at a surface level, though they differ in how they are scaled and managed. In an interview ahead of KubeCon/CloudNativeCon Europe, he emphasized that being “AI native” requires being cloud native by default. Cloud-native technologies such as containers, microservices, Kubernetes, gRPC, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry provide the scalability, resilience, and observability needed to support AI systems at scale. Aniszczyk noted that major AI platforms like ChatGPT and Claude already rely on Kubernetes and other CNCF projects.
To address growing complexity in running generative and agentic AI workloads, the CNCF has launched efforts to extend its conformance programs to AI. New requirements—such as dynamic resource allocation for GPUs and TPUs and specialized networking for inference workloads—are being handled inconsistently across the industry. CNCF aims to establish a baseline of compatibility to ensure vendor neutrality. Aniszczyk also highlighted CNCF incubation projects like Metal³ for bare-metal Kubernetes and OpenYurt for managing edge-based Kubernetes deployments.

Why the CNCF's New Executive Director is Obsessed With Inference
Jonathan Bryce, the new CNCF executive director, argues that inference—not model training—will define the next decade of computing. Speaking at KubeCon North America 2025, he emphasized that while the industry obsesses over massive LLM training runs, the real opportunity lies in efficiently serving these models at scale. Cloud-native infrastructure, he says, is uniquely suited to this shift because inference requires real-time deployment, security, scaling, and observability—strengths of the CNCF ecosystem.
Bryce believes Kubernetes is already central to modern inference stacks, with projects like Ray, KServe, and emerging GPU-oriented tooling enabling teams to deploy and operationalize models. To bring consistency to this fast-moving space, the CNCF launched a Kubernetes AI Conformance Program, ensuring environments support GPU workloads and Dynamic Resource Allocation. With AI agents poised to multiply inference demand by executing parallel, multi-step tasks, efficiency becomes essential. Bryce predicts that smaller, task-specific models and cloud-native routing optimizations will drive major performance gains. Ultimately, he sees CNCF technologies forming the foundation for what he calls “the biggest workload mankind will ever have.”

From Cloud Native to AI Native: Where Are We Going?
At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2025 in Atlanta, the panel of experts - Kate Goldenring of Fermyon Technologies, Idit Levine of Solo.io, Shaun O'Meara of Mirantis, Sean O'Dell of Dynatrace and James Harmison of Red Hat - explored whether the cloud native era has evolved into an AI native era — and what that shift means for infrastructure, security and development practices. Jonathan Bryce of the CNCF argued that true AI-native systems depend on robust inference layers, which have been overshadowed by the hype around chatbots and agents. As organizations push AI to the edge and demand faster, more personalized experiences, Fermyon’s Kate Goldenring highlighted WebAssembly as a way to bundle and securely deploy models directly to GPU-equipped hardware, reducing latency while adding sandboxed security.
Dynatrace’s Sean O’Dell noted that AI dramatically increases observability needs: integrating LLM-based intelligence adds value but also expands the challenge of filtering massive data streams to understand user behavior. Meanwhile, Mirantis CTO Shaun O’Meara emphasized a return to deeper infrastructure awareness. Unlike abstracted cloud native workloads, AI workloads running on GPUs require careful attention to hardware performance, orchestration, and energy constraints. Managing power-hungry data centers efficiently, he argued, will be a defining challenge of the AI native era.

Why Are So Many Developers Out of Work in 2024?
The tech industry faces a paradox: despite high demand for skills, many developers and engineers are unemployed. At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in Salt Lake City, Utah, Andela and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) announced an initiative to train 20,000 technologists in cloud native computing over the next decade. oss O'neill, Senior Program Manager at Andela and Chris Aniszczyk, CNCF’s CTO, highlighted the lack of Kubernetes-certified professionals in regions like Africa and emphasized the need for global inclusivity to make cloud native technology ubiquitous.
Andela, operating in over 135 countries and founded in Nigeria, views this program as a continuation of its mission to upskill African talent, aligning with its partnerships with tech giants like Google, AWS, and Nvidia. This initiative also addresses the increasing employer demand for Kubernetes and modern cloud skills, reflecting a broader skills mismatch in the tech workforce.
Aniszczyk noted that companies urgently seek expertise in cloud native infrastructure, observability, and platform engineering. The partnership aims to bridge these gaps, offering opportunities to meet evolving global tech needs.

What Will Be Hot at KubeCon in Chicago?
KubeCon 2023 is set to feature three hot topics, according to Taylor Dolezal from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Firstly, GenAI and Large Language Models (LLMs) are taking the spotlight, particularly regarding their security and integration with legacy infrastructure. Platform engineering is also on the rise, with over 25 sessions at KubeCon Chicago focusing on its definition and how it benefits internal product teams by fostering a culture of product proliferation. Lastly, WebAssembly is emerging as a significant topic, with a dedicated day during the conference week. It is maturing and finding its place, potentially complementing containers, especially in edge computing scenarios. Wasm allows for efficient data processing before data reaches the cloud, adding depth to architectural possibilities.
Overall, these three trends are expected to dominate discussions and presentations at KubeCon NA 2023, offering insights into the future of cloud-native technology.

AI Talk at KubeCon
What did software engineers at KubeCon say about how AI is coming up in their work? That's a question we posed Taylor Dolezal, head of ecosystem for the Cloud Native Computing Foundation at KubeCon in Amsterdam.
Dolezal said AI did come up in conversation.
"I think that when it's come to this, typically with KubeCons, and other CNCF and LF events, there's always been one or two topics that have bubbled to the top," Dolezal said.
At its core, AI surfaces a data issue for users that correlates to data sharing issues, said Dolezal in this latest episode of The New Stack Makers.

Ukraine Has a Bright Future
Ukraine has a bright future. It will soon be time to rebuild. But rebuilding requires more than the resources needed to construct a hydroelectric plant or a hospital. It involves software and an understanding of how to use it.
Ihor Dvoretskyi, developer advocate at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), and Dima Zakhalyavko, board member at Razom for Ukraine, came to KubeCon in Detroit to discuss the push to provide training materials for Ukraine as they rebuild from the destruction caused by Russia's invasion.
Razom, a nonprofit, amplifies the voices of Ukrainians in the United States and helps with humanitarian efforts and IT training. Razom formed before Russia's 2014 invasion of the Crimean peninsula of Ukraine, Zakhalyavko said. Since the full-scale invasion earlier this year, Razom has had an understandable increase in donations and volunteers helping in their efforts.
Individual first aid kits for soldiers, tourniquets, and medics supplies are provided by Razom, but so is IT training, materials to train the next generation of IT, translated into Ukrainian.
The Linux Foundation is participating with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in participation with Razom for Ukraine on its Project Veteranius to provide access to technology education for Ukrainian veterans, their families, and Ukrainians in need.
"We've realized that basically, we can benefit from the Linux Foundation training portfolio, including the most popular courses like the intro to Linux, or intro to Kubernetes, that can be pretty much easily translated to Ukrainian," Dvoretskyi said. "And in this way, we'll be able to offer the educational materials in their native language."
Ukraine has a pretty bright future.
"We just need to get through these difficult times," Dvoretskyi said. "But in the future, it's clear the tech industry in Ukraine is growing. Yeah. And people are needed for that."
Every effort matters, Dvoretskyi said.
"A strong, democratic Ukraine – that's essentially the vision – a European country, a truly European country, that is whole in terms of territorial integrity," Zakhalyavko said. "The future is in technology. And if we can help enable that – in any case, I think that's a win for Ukraine and the world. Technology can make the world a better place."
KubeCon+CloudNativeCon 2022 Rolls into Detroit
It's that time of the year again, when cloud native enthusiasts and professionals assemble to discuss all things Kubernetes. KubeCon+CloudNativeCon 2023 is being held later this month in Detroit, October 24-28.
In this latest edition of The New Stack Makers podcast, we spoke with Priyanka Sharma, general manager of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation — which organizes KubeCon —and CERN computer engineer and KubeCon co-chair Ricardo Rocha. For this show, we discussed what we can expect from the upcoming event.
This year, there will be a focus on Kubernetes in the enterprise, Sharma said. "We are reaching a point where Kubernetes is becoming the de facto standard when it comes to container orchestration. And there's a reason for it. It's not just about Kubernetes. Kubernetes spawned the cloud native ecosystem and the heart of the cloud native movement is building fast, resiliently observable software that meets customer needs. So ultimately, it's making you a better provider to your customers, no matter what kind of business you are."
Of this year's topics, security will be a big theme, Rocha said. Technologies such as Falco and Cilium will be discussed. Linux kernel add-on eBPF is popping up in a lot of topics, especially around networking. Observability and hybrid deployments also weigh heavily on the agenda. "The number of solutions [around Hybrid] are quite large, so it's interesting to see what people come up with," he said.
In addition to KubeCon itself, this year there are a number of co-located events, held during or before the conference itself. Some of them hosted by CNCF while others are hosted by other companies such as Canonical. They include the Network Application Day, BackstageCon, CloudNative eBPF Day, CloudNativeSecurityCon, CloudNative WASM Day, Data-on-Kubernetes Day, EnvoyCon, gRPCConf, KNativeCon, Spinnaker Summit, Open Observability Day, Cloud Native Telco Day, Operator Day, The Continuous Delivery Summit, among others.
What's amazing is not only the number of co-located events, but the high quality of talks being held there.
"Co-located events are a great way to know what's exciting to folks in the ecosystem right now," Sharma said. "Cloud native has really become the scaffolding of future progress. People want to build on cloud native, but have their own focus areas."
WebAssembly (WASM) is a great example of this. "In the beginning, you wouldn't have thought of WebAssembly as part of the cloud native narrative, but here we are," Sharma said. "The same thinking from professionals who conceptualized cloud native in the beginning are now taking it a step further."
"There's a lot of value in co-located events, because you get a group of people for a longer period in the same room, focusing on one topic," Rocha said.
Other topics discussed in the podcast include the choice of Detroit as a conference hub, the fun activities that CNCF have planned in between the technical sessions, surprises at the keynotes, and so much more! Give it a listen.
