AI agents are moving beyond simple chatbots. They can now use tools, access APIs, write code, interact with cloud infrastructure, make decisions, & execute multi-step workflows w/increasing autonomy. How do we know what an AI agent is doing before something goes wrong? Link 👇

🤖 You can trigger an AI investigation directly from Radar. The investigation runs locally using the AI coding agent you already use, such as Codex, Cursor, or another local agent. Full Episode 👇 youtube.com/shorts/RYDyN...

🚨 What if your K8s dashboard could investigate an incident for you? Radar starts with something familiar: a live K8s resource experience. It connects to your kubeconfig, detects the resources and CRDs in your clusters, and gives you a detailed view without requiring extensive configuration. 📽️ 👇

In this clip from @cloudnativefm 147, Nadav Erell explains how Radar Cloud extends the Radar experience from individual K8s clusters to fleet-level operations. 🔹 Fleet-wide visibility across clusters 🔹 Search and health checks across your K8s fleet 🔹 A unified MCP endpoint for AI agents Link 👇

Can a K8s interface bridge DevOps, platform engineering, devs, and AI agents? Radar brings together K8s topology, resources, Helm, GitOps, service traffic, event timelines, audits, RBAC, cost visibility, upgrade impact analysis, an MCP server for AI agents. We're Live: youtube.com/live/xgVTudk...

And for those already working with MCP: What should an MCP certification test that a tutorial or simple demo cannot? I'd love to hear perspectives from AI engineers, platform engineers, DevOps practitioners, open-source maintainers, certification experts, and MCP builders.

cloudnativeboy.bsky.social @cloudnativeboy.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

💬 I'm curious to hear from the community: What do you think is the most important MCP skill engineers should demonstrate today? Architecture? Security? Tool design? Agent orchestration? Observability?

This is also where my interests across open source, Kubernetes, platform engineering, DevOps and AI increasingly converge. The next generation of platform engineers may not just manage infrastructure for applications.

cloudnativeboy.bsky.social @cloudnativeboy.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

👉 The future of AI engineering isn't only about building agents. It's about building engineers and teams that understand the protocols, infrastructure and guardrails underneath those agents.

As one of the SME selected for this initiative, I helped: 🔹 Define the job task domains and competencies that the exam is built around 🔹 Write and review certification content 🔹 Determine the passing score benchmark for the exam

But as MCP adoption grows, an important question follows: How do we know someone actually understands MCP beyond being able to build a simple demo?

100

cloudnativeboy.bsky.social @cloudnativeboy.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

MCP is quickly becoming an important piece of the AI ecosystem, connecting models/agents with tools, data sources, APIs, & external capabilities.

What made this experience particularly meaningful was being involved in the process of translating a rapidly evolving technology into something that can be objectively evaluated, understood, and validated. 2/2

In this episode of #CloudNativeWisdom, a dedicated CloudNativeFM conversation series, we go beyond the usual K8s vs. AI debate and ask a much bigger question: - Is K8s still the right abstraction for the AI era, or are we heading back toward an HPC-centric model of infra? Link 👇

Dogwood builds on Cedar and brings temporal logic into agent governance. As AI agents gain access to production infrastructure, APIs, Kubernetes and enterprise systems, I think this becomes a critical part of the emerging AgentOps / AI Platform Engineering stack. (2/2)

cloudnativeboy.bsky.social @cloudnativeboy.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Interesting move from AWS: Dogwood brings runtime verification and temporal policies to AI agents. Instead of asking only “Is this tool call allowed?”, policies can reason about what the agent has already done: → Did it get approval? → How many times has it acted? → How much has it spent? More 👇

ANTHROPIC IS PAYING HALF A MIL POUNDS 🤯 Might be that their LLM went rogue and made them completely unaware of the job posting… 😂 Or, in the worst-case scenario, they’ve already paid half a million to someone who just told an AI agent: “Go figure out Cilium, Kubernetes and networking for me.” 🤣🤖
