  • Expanding AI Agents with MCP Servers & API Platforms
    Simon Yu (Co-Founder @SpeakeasyDev) discusses the rise of MCP servers, API integration into AI systems, including SDK generation, and the emergence of the Agentic web.SHOW: 933SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Cloudcast #933 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtube.com/@TheCloudcastNET CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK: http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwNEW TO CLOUD?

Give everyone a quick introduction.Topic 2 - API tooling and platforms for AI has become the hot topic this year. Of course, Agentic AI has made significant contributions to this. What trends do you see that we need to pay attention to? What problems are organizations trying to solve?Topic 3 - Let’s dig into MCP Servers. The interest in MCP has taken off. At the highest level, why do they exist?Topic 4 - MCP servers and all the recent announcements around an Agentic Web have me thinking… Do we need to prepare for an Internet where AI agents talk to each other? We had humans and GUIs (web frontends), then we saw the rise of APIs. Is this a third wave or an evolution of the API wave?Topic 5 - How do SDKs and things like AI API tooling play into all of this? API tools to generate SDKs or AI documentation aren’t new. How does the abstraction of AI change this process?Topic 6 - In our experience, API-level integrations are challenging to productize. Sometimes it comes down to something as simple as who is going to pay for it, and developers often have a voice and a seat at the table, but don’t have the budget. What has been your experience? Topic 7 - How does the business side of the house see an advantage to this? What metrics tend to matter and are measurable?FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netBluesky: @cloudcastpod.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod

  • The State of Cloud Native for 2025
    Tobi Knaup (@superguenter, VP/GM of Cloud Native @Nutanix) talks about the evolution of the cloud-native ecosystem, the intersection of AI and Kubernetes, and expectations of the next few years.  SHOW: 931SHOW TRANSCRIPT: The Cloudcast #931 TranscriptSHOW VIDEO: https://youtube.com/@TheCloudcastNET CLOUD NEWS OF THE WEEK:  http://bit.ly/cloudcast-cnotwNEW TO CLOUD?

Full disclosure for everyone out there, I worked for Tobi at Nutanix. Give everyone a brief introduction and a little about your background.Topic 2 - This is a throwback for our long-time listeners. We had Ben Hindman on episode #211 almost 10 years ago, when D2IQ was Mesosphere, and we also spoke to Dave Lester, who was at Twitter back in 2014.  I’m not going to ask you to catch everyone up on 10 years of your company and the history… but I will encourage everyone to go back and listen to that podcast. It is an excellent snapshot of the early days of cloud native and containers. Today, we will talk a bit about the state of cloud native. The most recent KubeCon EU was a few months ago. What were your thoughts around the event and the current state of the industry? Topic 3 - What are the most prominent challenges organizations face today with Cloud Native adoption?  You hear about the complexity, you hear about Kubernetes is a platform to build platforms… still true?Topic 4 - Where do you think Cloud Native goes in the next 2-3 years? What technologies or design patterns (besides AI, we’ll talk about that later) evolve, and where does the next round of adoption come from?Topic 5 - Let’s talk about storage and data services quickly. Data services for K8s is messy, really messy at times. Give everyone an overview of the problem at scale and the challenges, especially in multi-cloud environments, which I’m finding more and more.Topic 6 - I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention AI and its impact in the space. AI came along and sucked all the air out of the room for a time. How do you think about AI today, now that the dust has settled a bit? Is it just an “app” to run on top? How will AI impact cloud native longer term?FEEDBACK?Email: show at the cloudcast dot netBluesky: @cloudcastpod.bsky.socialTwitter/X: @cloudcastpodInstagram: @cloudcastpodTikTok: @cloudcastpod
