Scaling Kubernetes with Systemic Certainty, Not Operational Heroics

April 9, 2026

9AM PT | 12PM ET

Is your platform team spending more time firefighting than building? For organizations running Kubernetes at scale, infrastructure drift, manual patching, and unreliable upgrades have become the normalized cost of doing business. Engineers are pulled into reactive toil, SSH-ing into nodes and untangling snowflake clusters while the roadmap sits untouched. At five nodes, one skilled engineer can hold it together. At one hundred, that same approach becomes your biggest bottleneck. Drift isn’t just an operational headache; it’s a compliance risk and an expanded attack surface. Join TNS host Chris Pirillo with Sidero Labs’ Jeff Behl and Kevin Tijssen to learn how to stop managing deviance and start eliminating it.

Developer-Led Observability: Debugging Distributed and AI Systems with Runtime Telemetry

April 16, 2026 10AM PT | 1PM ET

Observability is no longer just an operations concern. Leading teams are moving telemetry upstream, giving developers direct access to logs, traces, and metrics to debug faster and build more reliable systems. In modern distributed and AI-driven environments, the challenge isn’t collecting data—it’s making it actionable in the moments that matter. When developers can explore telemetry in real time, they resolve issues быстрее, reduce escalations, and improve system performance from the start. Join Dynatrace’s Sean O’Dell and David Beran for a session on integrating observability into everyday developer workflows, featuring real-world examples, live demos, and practical takeaways you can apply immediately.

Break the Cycle of Spending $250Bn on Manual IT Operations with the IT Knowledge Graph

April 28, 2026 10AM PT | 1PM ET

For years, rules-based automation has only solved a fraction of IT operations, leaving teams to handle the complex, context-driven work manually, costing the industry $250 billion annually. Despite heavy investments in observability and headcount, many teams still struggle with reactive incident response, siloed data, and time-consuming escalations. AI is changing that. With an IT Knowledge Graph, organizations can connect data, context, and institutional knowledge to power smarter automation and faster decision-making. Join BigPanda’s CEO Assaf Resnick and VP of Product Marketing, Adam Blau to see how this new approach is delivering 430% ROI, $13.6M in labor savings and a 36% reduction in outages.

Building Production-Ready Agentic AI — Why a Control Plane Matters

March 24, 2026 11am PT | 2pm ET

Agentic AI promises autonomy, but most organizations remain stuck in pilot mode. Generative models alone can’t deliver the reliability production demands—agents can hallucinate, misread context, and amplify small errors across complex workflows. Without a unifying control plane, scaling agentic AI leads to unpredictable outcomes. Join TNS host Chris Pirillo and Dynatrace’s Greg Findlen and Wayne Segar to learn what it takes to run agentic AI in production. Discover how end-to-end observability, deterministic real-time context, and a centralized control plane enable reliable autonomy—while balancing human oversight, feedback loops, and automation at scale.

Scaling Real-Time AI & ML Workloads for Performance and Efficiency

March 18, 2026 NOW AVAILABLE ON DEMAND

As real-time inference and advanced ML workloads become revenue-critical, platform teams must deliver massive amounts of contextual data with strict latency and zero downtime. But most real-time stacks weren’t built for this — resulting in latency spikes, scaling pain, and rising costs. In this webinar, DragonflyDB co-founder and CEO Oded Poncz explained why real-time context is now the core data primitive for intelligent systems. The discussion covered where traditional infrastructure falls short, what modern AI/ML workloads demand, and how purpose-built systems enable predictable, efficient scale. Discover a clear blueprint for building a real-time data layer ready for modern AI applications.

Building A Self-Service Developer Platform The Thoughtful Way

March 12, 2026 NOW AVAILABLE ON DEMAND

As more organizations repatriate, modernize, and build new workloads on-premises, the demand for a “public cloud-like” experience inside the data center has never been higher. Many organizations are building Kubernetes-based internal development platforms to answer this call. The key to success is choosing the underlying building blocks and infrastructure that is integrated with essential open source tools that simplify deployment across your environment. In this technical session hosted by Charles Humble, Broadcom’s Jad El-Zein showed how you can automate full-stack deployments of Kubernetes infrastructure – including networking, and storage policies – with a simple git commit.

How To Architect a CI/CD Pipeline That Really Scales

February 3, 2026 Now Available On-Demand

DevOps and platform engineering teams often believe they’ve solved scalability with “push-button” onboarding. However, tools that clone templates, such as internal developer portals, merely automate the creation of technical debt. The moment a pipeline is copied, it drifts. Six months later, making an update across 100 services means managing 100 separate pull requests — or convincing 100 teams to make a change. In this session, our host Chris Pirillo welcomed Harness’ Eric Minick and Choice Hotels’ Stephen Cihak for a spirited discussion on why copying CI/CD templates creates technical debt and leads to operational paralysis (the “scaffolding trap”). Watch now and you’ll also learn why the future of DevOps scaling isn’t about copying YAML; it’s about inheriting it.

Avoiding the Argo Ceiling: Scaling GitOps Without Maxing Out

January 20, 2026 Now Available On-Demand

Every GitOps journey starts with a honeymoon phase: one cluster, one Argo instance, one happy team. But success creates sprawl. One cluster becomes 50, and the isolation that made Argo secure turns into a management nightmare. We call this “The Argo Ceiling,” the breaking point where visibility dies and governance becomes a guessing game. In this webinar, our guests from Harness and TNS Host Chris Pirillo uncover the data from enterprise teams who hit that ceiling. They explain why “Tab Fatigue” and “Glue Code” are the first symptoms of a broken process and reveal the real engineering hours lost to maintaining custom dashboards and brittle orchestration scripts. Dive into how to implement a GitOps control plane to unify your estate without ripping and replacing the tools your developers love.

Cloud Cost Optimization Isn’t Broken. The Approach Is.

January 15, 2026 Now Available On-Demand

Cloud spend rarely explodes overnight — it accumulates. Most orgs attempt to solve this problem at the wrong stage, relying on reactive cost controls, manual audits or finance-led governance that arrives long after architectural decisions are locked in. Shifting left reframes cloud value as an engineering responsibility, not a financial afterthought. That means embedding optimization, security and governance directly into design, CI/CD and deployment workflows. In this webinar, experts from Harness explain how a shift-left strategy enables proactive optimization, and show how Kubernetes environments can be continuously aligned with intent without slowing devs down. See how architecture becomes enforceable policy, how zero-drift environments eliminate configuration entropy, and how to turn best practices into defaults rather than documentation.
