I wish the ContribFest sessions at KubeCon were longer... Not enough time to do anything significant. And this year in Atlana they were super short or, at least, it felt like it 🙂

Today at #KubeCon we demystified building AI-assisted DevOps tools. The LLM prompts don't need to be uber fancy. Don't need a lot of tools. It can be kubectl CLI wrapped in a tool object. MCP servers have their place, but they can't be thin API wrappers because LLMs will struggle to use those.

AWS Deprecates Two Dozen Services (Most of Which You've Never Heard Of)
AWS has done its quarterly housecleaning / "Googling" of its services, and deprecated what appears at first glance to be a startlingly long list. However, going through them put my mind at ease, and I'm hoping this post can do the same for you.

Looking forward to my hands on KubeCon session in Atlanta! Join me even if you don't care about #DockerSlim 🙂 We'll get to learn about building AI assistant & MCP server capabilities in #Golang applications. We'll turn Ivan's Iximiuz Labs into Mint Containers Labs for this session to start asap

The new remote code execution in Redis is fun (aka RediShell). Let's see what minifying the Redis container with DockerSlim and its auto-generates seccomp profile will do to mitigate the exploits 🙂

fun reverse engineering bun.js app binaries... it's not as bad as I thought it would be even manually without extra tools :-)

I keep bumping into more and more AI app/agent sandboxing, ephemeral deployment and observability use cases with an experimental version of DockerSlim/Mint that runs code in local or remote environments. What are good/popular cloud sandbox environments people use/like?

Looking forward to #KubeCon / #CloudNativeCon in Atlanta & exploring/building integrated AI Assistant and MCP Server capabilities in #DockerSlim . Join the session even if you don't care about the project if you're curious about learning more about building AI Assistants and MCP Servers in #Golang 🙂

Looks like the talk about minimal base container images, "Move Over Chainguard: We’re Building Our Own Minimal Images", isn't going to make it to the Rejekts conference either, which means there'll be more time to work on it 🙂 Happy to do a hallway track preview for it at KubeCon in Atlanta!
