Optimize the Kubernetes dev experience by creating silos with Michael Levan
Optimize the Kubernetes dev experience by creating silos, with Michael Levan
https://kube.fm/kubernetes-silos-michael
Michael Levan explains how specialized teams and smart abstractions can lead to better outcomes. Drawing from cognitive science and his experience in platform engineering, Michael presents practical strategies for building effective engineering organizations.
You will learn:
Why specialized teams (or "silos") can improve productivity and why the real enemy is ego, not specialization.
How to use Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) and abstractions to empower teams without requiring everyone to be a Kubernetes expert.
How to balance specialization and collaboration using platform engineering practices and smart abstractions
Practical strategies for managing cognitive load in engineering teams and why not everyone needs to know YAML.

Release Schedule
Next Deadline: Release Highlights completion, December 3rd
Docs freeze is in effect as of Tuesday 26th November. We are now in the final phases of the v1.32 release cycle with the scheduled release date just two weeks away.
Kubernetes v1.32.0-rc.0 is live!. v1.32.0-rc.1 is scheduled to be cut on Monday, December 3rd.
KEP of the Week
KEP-3157: Allow informers for getting a stream of data instead of chunking
This KEP addresses the kube-apiserver’s vulnerability to excessive memory consumption caused by LIST requests in large clusters, which can lead to server crashes, node pressure, and workload disruption. To solve this, it proposes reducing temporary memory usage from an exponential scale to a manageable constant, leveraging the watch cache to reduce etcd load, ensuring consistent and fresh LIST responses, and maintaining backward compatibility—all while protecting the server and its node from OOM scenarios
This KEP is tracked for beta release in the ongoing v1.32 cycle.
Other Merges
Validate DRA Node Selector Labels even on upgraded objects; while this is a backwards-incompatible change, it’s not expected to break anything
Version Updates
