Just contributed to a podcast for the first time ever - live today during the #AWSSummit with @sebsto.bsky.social 's AWS 🇫🇷 podcast ♥ Great experience!
You'll be able to listen to itin ~June, talking about our journey at @payfiteng.bsky.social from Kubernetes on EC2 to managed/serverless services :)

Wrapping up this @breizhcamp.org with Nicolas De Loof on sandboxing with microVMs through github.com/containerd/n...
Let's see what's new with the OCI runtime spec Implementations !
Can be especially interesting to sandbox agents more than just Docker which is already useful for that purpose

Now @nledez.fr at @breizhcamp.org on how AI helped him reduce the carbon footprint of github.com/cgwire/zou CI
Appreciate the early disclaimer of what the talk will _not_ discuss. I should do that more in my own talks instead of always trying to cram everything together.

Last day of @breizhcamp.org opening with a keynote by Karine Sabatier on Enshittification - great followup to @julientopcu.com closing yesterday with Tech & Pop Culture !
Let's see if there's some light at the end of the tunnel to escape the platform effect somehow.

i wrote a post about the growing divide between AI skeptics and AI enthusiasts.
wins and costs are both real, but too often fall on different groups of people. when you're only experiencing half the story, it's too easy to write each other off.

charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/ai-enthusi...
AI enthusiasts are in a race against time, AI skeptics are in a race against entropy
Both sides are grappling with a real existential threat, and both sides feel like they are screaming into the void. Here's how to close the gap and get everyone pulling in the same direction.

Instead of waiting for a full fleet-wide reboot cycle to roll out patched kernels across hundreds of cities, they deployed an eBPF program as a live mitigation.

The @fusionauth.io team has invited me to dig into the details of my generative AI skepticism, which extends to agentic AI. I'm more pragmatic than some people think, but I gotta push back on AI agents for everything, and burning tokens at alter of Artificial Intelligence.
@kelseyhightower.com is joining us next week.
We aren't doing another "AI will change everything" keynote.
This session will go several layers deeper, with questions submitted from seasoned practitioners, and a little 'AMA' at the end.
