Talks
AI-Assisted Kubernetes Troubleshooting with k8sgpt
Kubernetes troubleshooting is still too manual, noisy, and time-consuming. Engineers jump between logs, events, metrics, and dashboards trying to identify the real root cause behind failing workloads. In this session, we’ll explore how k8sgpt uses AI to analyze Kubernetes clusters, surface misconfigurations, and accelerate incident resolution. Through live demos and real-world scenarios, you’ll learn how platform teams and SREs can integrate AI-assisted diagnostics into their operational workflows without replacing existing observability tooling. This talk is practical, demo-driven, and focused on what works today.
FinOps at scale: Lessons from scaling Kubernetes workloads
