Docker launched "Docker Model Runner" to run LLMs through llama.cpp with a single "docker model" command. In this episode Bret details examples and some useful use cases for using this way to run LLMs. He breaks down the internals. How it works, when you should use it or not use it; and, how to get started using Open WebUI for a private ChatGPT-like experience.

This episode is about what I'm seeing and what I'm doing right now, and then for the rest of the year. There are three parts. First, I talk about what's about to happen for me for the next few weeks re going to London for KubeCon. Then what I'm planning to change in this podcast, as well as my other content on YouTube for the rest of the year. And lastly, I talk about some industry trends that I'm seeing that will force me, I think, to change the format of this show. I recorded the episode on March 22, 2025.

The Docker Bake Build tool just went general availability, and I'm excited about what this means for creating reproducible builds and automation that can run anywhere. In this video I'm gonna break down some of the features, the benefits and walk through some examples.
In this episode I explain why docker buildx bake exists, what it can do, and I walk through multiple examples of Bake files and how it's better than docker build image and docker compose build. I also touch on BuildKit and Docker's GitHub Actions.

Bret and Nirmal reunite for their traditional annual Holiday Special episode of breaking down the most significant developments in cloud native from 2024 and sharing predictions for 2025.
💥 This episode is brought to you by our valued sponsor and friends at Aikido!💥
Aikido is a no-nonse platform that helps developers get security done. It consolidates multiple scanning tools like code analysis, dependency analysis, and cloud security into a single platform. Aikido’s superpower is its ability to remove false positives, so you can focus on the real issues. Aikido not only helps you find true vulnerabilities but their new AI features auto triage and even fix issues for you.
Aikido is FREE for small teams or anyone wanting to simply explore so check it out today at aikido.dev
We touch on infrastructure evolution, exploring Kubernetes fleet management challenges and emerging solutions for simplified tool stacks, we cover essential cloud native trends of 2024, infrastructure automation breakthroughs, notable technical innovations, projects that aspire to be part of CNCF as well as predictions for cloud native in 2025.There's also a video version of this show on YouTube.

Or watch the video version on YouTube. Bret is joined by Willem Delbare and Roeland Delrue to discuss Aikido, a security tool consolidation platform designed specifically for smaller teams and solo DevOps practitioners.
The discussion explores how Aikido addresses the growing challenges of software supply chain security by bringing together various security tools - from CVE scanning to cloud API analysis - under a single, manageable portal. Unlike enterprise-focused solutions, Aikido targets the needs of smaller teams and individual DevOps engineers who often juggle multiple responsibilities. During the episode, they demonstrate Aikido's capabilities using Bret's sample GitHub organization, and show how teams can implement comprehensive security measures without managing multiple separate tools.There's also a video version on YouTube.

This episode is chalked full of information. We talked about the CNCF Kubestronaut program and how GenAI has changed the cert prep game, and see what tools and techniques we should use to prepare for next year!You've probably seen Mumshad's courses. He has been another person like myself who, for almost a decade, has been making container courses on Docker, Kubernetes, all the tooling. Now he's running a giant platform of learning and they're introducing AI into your learning and certification prep, courses, and skills labs. And we go through all of it.
We talk about all of the Linux Foundation certifications they cover. They've launched over 100 courses now on their platform and they cover a lot, if not all of the Linux certifications, especially around Kubernetes and the Cloud Native ecosystem. I'm a huge fan of that. I think this is great stuff for everyone, especially if you're early in your career and you're using certifications as a way to prove your expertise or you're like me, you've been around forever and you want to show that you're up to date.

Bret and Nirmal recorded this special offline episode at KubeCon North America in Salt Lake City. We hung out at the AWS booth to break down the major trends and developments from the conference.
The event drew a record-breaking 10,000 attendees, with roughly half being first-timers to the Cloud Native ecosystem.Starting with Cloud Native Rejekts and moving through the pre-conference events, we noticed Platform Engineering emerged as the dominant theme, with its dedicated conference track drawing standing-room-only crowds.
The main conference showcased a notable surge in new vendors, particularly in AI and security sectors, representing about a quarter of all exhibitors. We dissect the key engineering trends, ongoing challenges in Cloud Native adoption, and insights gathered from various conferences including ArgoCon, BackstageCon, and Wasm Day. In our 40-minute discussion, we tried to capture the essence of what made this year's KubeCon significant. It's a great listen whether you couldn't attend or if you're a veteran of the Cloud Native community.Watch the video on YouTube.

Bret and Nirmal Mehta are joined by Ken Collins to dig into using AI for more than coding, and if we can build an AI assistant that knows us.
They touch on a lot of tools and platforms. "We're bit all over the place on this one, from talking about AI features in our favorite note taking apps like Notion, to my journey of making an open AI assistant with all of my Q&A from my courses, thousands of questions and answers, to coding agents and more."Ken is a local friend in Virginia Beach and was on the show last year talking about AWS Lambda, and we've both been trying to find value in all of these AI tools for our day to day work.

Bret is joined by Shahar Azulay, Groundcover CEO and Co-Founder, to discuss their new approach to fully observe K8s and its workloads with a "hybrid observability architecture."
Groundcover is a new, cloud-native, eBPF-based platform that designed a new model for how observability solutions are architected and priced. It is a product that can drastically reduce your monitoring, logging, and tracing costs and complexity, it stores all its data in your clusters and only needs one agent per host for full observability and APM.We dig into the deployment, architecture, and how it all works under the hood.

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Continue.dev co-founder, Nate Sesti, to walk through an open source replacement for GitHub Copilot.
Continue lets you use a set of open source and closed source LLMs in JetBrains and VSCode IDEs for adding AI to your coding workflow without leaving the editor.You've probably heard about GitHub Copilot and other AI code assistants. The Continue team has created a completely open source solution as an alternative, or maybe a superset of these existing tools, because along with it being open source, it's also very configurable and allows you to choose multiple models to help you with code completion and chatbots in VSCode, JetBrains, and more are coming soon.
So this show builds on our recent Ollama show. Continue uses Ollama in the background to run a local LLM for you, if that's what you want to Continue to do for you, rather than internet LLM models.

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Michael Fischer of AWS to discuss why we should use Graviton, their arm64 compute with AWS-designed CPUs.
Graviton is AWS' term for their custom ARM-based EC2 instances. We now have all major clouds offering an ARM-based option for their server instances, but AWS was first, way back in 2018. Fast forward 6 years and AWS is releasing their 4th generation Graviton instances, and they deliver all the CPU, networking, memory and storage performance that you'd expect from their x86 instances and beyond.I'm a big fan of ARM-based servers and the price points that AWS gives us. They have been my default EC2 instance type for years now, and I recommend it for all projects I'm working on with companies.
We get into the history of Graviton, how easy it is to build and deploy containers and Kubernetes clusters that have Graviton and even two different platform types in the same cluster. We also cover how to build multi-platform images using Docker BuildKit.
Watch the video version on YouTube. Includes demos.
