Format:
Livestream

Topic: DevOps

Language: English

Join host Michelle Sandford as she welcomes Randy Bias and Bharath Nallapeta from Mirantis for a deep dive into the future of platform engineering. In this episode, we explore how Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for application delivery—and how open-source tools like Cordant are redefining multi-cloud orchestration.

From deploying GPU-enabled clusters on Azure to managing AI workloads with service templates, Bharath walks us through a live demo that showcases scalable, repeatable infrastructure for modern development teams.

We also discuss:
• The evolution from DevOps to platform engineering
• Balancing community-driven innovation with enterprise-grade reliability
• The role of AI in observability, automation, and developer experience

Whether you're building internal developer platforms, scaling across clouds, or integrating AI into your ops strategy, this episode offers practical insights and bold ideas for the next generation of engineering leaders.
