As someone who has been running kagent kmcp kgateway and agentgateway lately, I’ve found that they complement each other really well: - kmcp → makes it easy to create and deploy MCP servers in Kubernetes ⚙️ - kagent → lets you build, run, and share agents declaratively in Kubernetes 🤖 - agentgateway → an agentic proxy for MCP and A2A, with support for LLMs, inference gateways, and even classic microservices 🔗 - kgateway → a Kubernetes-native API gateway that supports two data planes: Envoy and agentgateway 🚪 Let me know if you have any questions!

🚀 VMware → OpenShift Virtualization: Lessons from the Field We’re currently helping a large bank migrate workloads from a massive VMware environment to OpenShift Virtualization and it’s been an eye-opener. There’s no doubt VMware has been the gold standard for virtualization for decades rock-solid hypervisor, mature tooling, and deep enterprise roots. But after the Broadcom acquisition, the narrative has shifted. Licensing, uncertainty, and long-term roadmap questions are pushing many to explore alternatives built on open technologies. So far, here’s what we’ve learned: ✅ The biggest challenge isn’t technical it’s mindset. Teams are used to managing VMs like static pets; moving to Kubernetes-native virtualization means treating them like cattle, integrated into pipelines, GitOps, and policies. ✅ Storage and networking design matter more than ever you can’t just “lift and shift.” We’ve seen how tuning ODF (OpenShift Data Foundation) and leveraging proper network attachment definitions for isolation make or break performance. ✅ Observability and Day-2 operations must evolve; operators, monitoring, and automation now need to handle both VMs and containers side by side. The transition isn’t trivial, but it’s rewarding we’re helping this bank move towards a future where containers and VMs coexist seamlessly, managed through one Kubernetes control plane. 💬 If your organization is also evaluating a new home beyond VMware, reach out we’d be happy to share our learnings and help you plan the journey. 🔖 #OpenShift #Kubernetes #Virtualization #StakaterCloud #PlatformEngineering #VMware #CNV #Migration #GitOps

Here is a how-to blog on using the Argo CD Agent 0.4.1 with the OpenShift GitOps 1.18 operator for OpenShift users that want to try it out. As a reminder the Argo CD Agent is Technical Preview and not intended for Production workloads. However for customers interested in using it in the future it is well worth checking out now in a lab environment and providing feedback. I'm really excited about this technology, the OpenShift GitOps Engineering team along with the broader Argo CD community have done a really great job with the underlying architecture. https://lnkd.in/gYw_jyic

In AKS, Namespaces provide you a logical isolation boundary for workloads and resources. This helps simplify resource isolation, multi-tenancy and scaling. We recently released a preview of Managed Namespaces that help you simplify namespace management. Jack Jiang has put together a short video explaining this feature and announcing the preview. 📽️: https://lnkd.in/duApRN2x Check out the feature and let us know what you think.

Operating multiple OpenShift/Kubernetes clusters is a common reality—but it often becomes an operational bottleneck. Ensuring consistency in configurations, integrations, and policies across dozens (or even hundreds) of clusters is one of the toughest challenges organizations face. At Li9, we’ve developed and refined a GitOps-driven operational model that tackles this head-on. Our approach offers a scalable solution for managing fleets of clusters, ensuring governance, security, and operational efficiency are maintained. I’ve put together a whitepaper that dives deep into this model, sharing the lessons we’ve learned and the practices we use every day. Read the full whitepaper here: https://lnkd.in/eJ9gWUzN

Case Study: From VMware to OpenShift Virtualization 🚀 When VMware’s pricing changes hit, one of our customers decided it was time to move on. Together, we migrated 2000+ VMs including: 🟢 Oracle databases 🟢 Existing OpenShift control plane & infra nodes 🟢 Business-critical applications All successfully consolidated into OpenShift; where containers and VMs run side by side on a single platform. The journey wasn’t without surprises, but the results speak for themselves: ✅ Reduced cost pressures ✅ Simplified operations ✅ Future-ready infrastructure This shift isn’t just a response to pricing it’s about gaining freedom and preparing for what’s next. 👉 Are you also seeing organizations rethink their virtualization strategy after VMware’s recent changes? We are also operating a secure, compliant, and sovereign public cloud built on the same technology
