Kubernetes for agentic apps: A platform engineering perspective

Agentic AI flips the old model. Instead of stateless, event-by-event workloads, we getstateful, self-steering systemsthat observe, reason, plan, and act - on loop. Kubernetes steps up as the OS for this next phase. Boosted by platform engineering, it brings the right mix:ephemeral compute, persisten..

Who’s Calling That API? A Detective Story from the Depths of EKS Networking

A production network got hammered by too many Auth0 token requests. The source? EKS workloads tucked behind a shared NAT Gateway. No easy trail. Engineers stitched it together usingVPC Flow Logs,pod-to-node maps, and some sharpIstio ServiceEntry logs. Even with Kubernetes CNI doing its NAT-obscuring..
