DevZero

That’s a wrap on KubeCon for the crew at Booth #169. 😄 We spent KubeCon showing how DevZero handles workload and node rightsizing in Kubernetes. Some of our favorite demos were the ones where someone had a particular workload in mind. How would this work in their cluster? What would they want to see before letting DevZero make that change in production? Thanks to everyone who stopped by in Salt Lake City and told us a bit about what you’re running. We packed up the car and got the team together for a meal to wrap up the week. And if one of those little LEGO race cars made it back to your desk, we’d love to see where it ended up. 🏎️

It’s the last day of KubeCon in Salt Lake City! Come see us at Booth #169 for a DevZero demo. We’ll show you how DevZero adjusts workload requests and node capacity as demand changes. If you’re working on rightsizing in your own clusters, we’d love to hear how you’re approaching it. Thanks to everyone who spent time with us yesterday, and congrats to the raffle winners pictured here! We’ve got our final drawings today, so you can still enter at the booth. 🎟️

It’s day two of KubeCon in Salt Lake City! The booth was busy yesterday, and we got to show DevZero to a lot of you. Thanks to everyone who stopped by for a demo or stuck around to chat. We’re back at Booth #169 today. Curious how much of the CPU and memory you’ve set aside for your workloads actually gets used? Come say hi between sessions and we’ll show you how DevZero figures that out. Congrats to yesterday’s raffle winners! We’re picking two more today, so swing by and enter. We’re the ones in the colorful LEGO shirts 😄

KubeCon starts today, and we’re ready to welcome you at Booth #169! It’s already been a busy start to the week here in Salt Lake City, setting up the booth and co-hosting a speakeasy evening with OpenObserve. The casino tables gave us a good excuse to take a break from setup and spend some time with everyone before the conference. Stop by and tell us what’s happening in your clusters. We’ll show you how DevZero handles proactive workload and node rightsizing in Kubernetes, inference routing, and governance. We’re happy to get into the details. We’ve also packed a few things you can take home: 🃏 DevZero playing cards 🍕 Pizza cutters ✨ Screen cleaners 🏎️ Custom DevZero Mini Formula LEGO sets Want to do some building yourself? Our build-your-own LEGO bar has everything you need to assemble your own little DevZero Formula 1 racer and minifigure. You can also enter our raffle for a Work Louder Creator Mini Keyboard or one of the bigger LEGO sets. Our friends at OpenObserve are nearby at Booth #167, so give them a visit too! Bring your Kubernetes questions. We’ll bring the LEGO. #KubeCon #Kubernetes

Why is it so hard to reduce cloud costs, even when you know where the waste is? On October 30, we brought together technology and engineering leaders for a roundtable at The Ritz-Carlton in Bengaluru to discuss that question and how AI is changing infrastructure decisions. Debosmit Ray (debo), Kumar Gaurav, Anirudh Gupta, and Zvonimir Tomešić helped lead the discussion. We talked about the gap between provisioned resources and actual usage, why recommendations don’t always turn into changes in production, and how GPU and inference costs add to the challenge. There was plenty to compare, especially when it came to reducing spend without putting reliability at risk. Thank you to Technophiles India for partnering with us, and to everyone who joined us and shared their experiences. Next week, we’ll continue the conversation at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America in Salt Lake City. Come meet the team at booth 169. Bring your questions about Kubernetes costs or scaling AI workloads, or just stop by to say hello. See you there! #KubeCon #Kubernetes #CloudCostOptimization

A week in Bengaluru gave us plenty to work on and plenty to remember. The DevZero team came together to work through current projects, share ideas for the product and discuss what comes next. Being together gave us time to dig into the details and let conversations run beyond a scheduled call. We made time for more than work, too. Meals around a long table, a round of fresh coconuts, exploring Bengaluru and trips further afield to visit palaces and temples. An arcade outing also left us with an unofficial team mascot. Those everyday moments were as much a part of the week as the work. It was good to spend time together again, with room for conversations that don’t usually make it onto a meeting agenda. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen. A few highlights below, teddy bear included.

What if Kubernetes workloads could resume instead of restart? Pod-Level Checkpoint/Restore is one of the most interesting alpha changes targeted for Kubernetes 1.37. Today, checkpointing in Kubernetes primarily operates at the individual-container level. KEP-5823 takes an important step toward treating the Pod—the unit Kubernetes actually schedules—as a whole. The first implementation introduces CheckpointPod and RestorePod methods in the Container Runtime Interface, establishing a standard way for the kubelet and container runtimes to coordinate Pod-level checkpoint and restore. This is foundational work rather than a complete live-migration workflow, but it creates a path toward faster recovery, warm starts, less disruptive node maintenance, and workload migration without rebuilding all runtime state from scratch. The broader feature is a Kubernetes community effort. One of its key implementation contributions, the new CRI methods, was authored by Radostin Stoyanov, a CRIU maintainer and member of the DevZero team. That connection is particularly relevant because DevZero already applies CRIU-based checkpoint/restore in its own migration and rightsizing workflows, preserving in-memory state and open connections without restarting the application. The CPU/GPU distinction matters too. CRIU can capture Linux process state for CPU workloads. GPU workloads require additional GPU-aware support because CUDA and device state sit outside what CRIU alone manages. Kubernetes is moving in the right direction: standardizing primitives that the wider ecosystem has already been developing and applying in practice. Still alpha, but a meaningful step forward.

Support for event notifications in the #MCP protocol is limited. That's about to change, and our August meetup digs into how. 👇 I will be talking about a new protocol extension currently in the design stage, that will allow AI Agents to subscribe to events happening in real world (a Slack message, a GitHub push, a 3am page) and wake up when they occur. Debosmit Ray (debo) (CEO & Co-founder of DevZero, ex-Uber infra) will also tell us about: "Live rightsizing in Kubernetes" - how resource tuning happens in k8s without restarts. Join Us 👉 lu.ma/h69eyb40 📅 Thursday, August 13 🕠 5:30 PM — Networking, pizza & drinks 📍 Docker, Inc, Seattle Maritime Building (Alaskan Way) 🍕 Food & drinks courtesy of our sponsor, DevZero

Cloud Native Seattle is back — Thursday, August 13 — with talks about real-time AI agents and smarter Kubernetes resource management. 🎉 🎙️ Aman Singh (Principal Engineer, Microsoft Azure CTO's office) A first look at #MCP Events — the draft protocol extension that lets #AI #agents subscribe to events happening in the real world (a Slack message, a GitHub push, a 3am page) and wake up when they occur. Straight from the MCP working group. 🎙️ Debosmit Ray (debo) (CEO & Co-founder of DevZero, ex-Uber infra) Live rightsizing in Kubernetes: tuning resource requests and limits at runtime, without pod restarts. Where VPA falls short, what "live" actually means in production, and what to watch for when you optimize continuously. 👉 RSVP - tinyurl.com/cncf-sea-04 📅 Thursday, August 13 🕠 5:30 PM — doors, networking, pizza & drinks 📍 Docker, Inc, Seattle Maritime Building (Alaskan Way) 🍕 Food & drinks courtesy of our sponsor, DevZero Run clusters or build with agents — there's something here for you.
