AI governance has a lot of layers, and honestly, it can feel overwhelming — whether you’re integrating an off-the-shelf model or running your own. Our new MEAP, AI Governance by Engin Bozdag, PhD and Stefano Bennati, helps you navigate that complexity. It gives you the tools to build a solid Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) plan from the start, so you can use AI without compromising what makes your business work. Available half off for the next couple of weeks: https://hubs.la/Q03Sw9cp0

Security in the technosphere is evolving fast — and you can see it everywhere: job listings, T&Cs, cookie prompts, and more. Kubernetes is right in the middle of it all. Today, Yuan Tang and Anjali Telang take that idea to the #KubeCon stage with their keynote, “Anchoring Trust in the Age of AI: Identities Across Humans, Machines, and Models.” Catch them at 10:08 a.m. EST as they explore what trust means in the AI era and how KServe plays a key role in making it work.

Ever feel like your CEO or exec team keeps changing their mind about which tools or platforms to use? It can be frustrating, but Azure makes those shifts easier. With its flexibility and ability to integrate users across different ecosystems, it adapts as fast as your strategy does. Microsoft Azure in Action by Lars Klint breaks it all down in a relatable (and surprisingly entertaining) way. Now in print! Grab it for 50% off with code klintpb through November 24th: https://hubs.la/Q03ShBPM0

Prompt engineering isn’t dead — it’s maturing. As LLMs get better at "just knowing," the real skill is learning how to systematize and measure your prompts. That’s where Effective Platform Engineering comes in. It’s not just about tech infrastructure. It’s about the right questions, systems, and safeguards for scaling AI and developer productivity. As Adrian Mouat puts it, this book is "an invaluable source of the correct questions to ask, the systems and structure to put in place, and the pitfalls to avoid." By Ajay Chankramath, Nic Cheneweth, Bryan Oliver, and Sean P Alvarez — now out on Amazon: https://hubs.la/Q03RDM7R0

Generative AI isn’t just touching Kubernetes. It’s transforming it. At 2:05 pm EST, Yuan Tang will unpack what that looks like in his session “KServe Next: Advancing Generative AI Model Serving,” as part of Cloud Native + Kubernetes AI Day. He’ll walk through KServe v0.17 and how it supports LLM workloads, KV caching, distributed execution, and integration with the Envoy AI Gateway — all while keeping Kubernetes on your side, not working against you.

Ever notice how Kubernetes’ built-in limits sometimes let code inside a container reach beyond its boundary and touch the host system? It doesn’t have to be that way. Hyperlight and Nanvix introduce a new model — letting you run regular Rust, Python, or WebAssembly services with the speed of containers and the security of VMs. Today at 3:10pm EST, catch Danilo Chiarlone and Pedro Henrique Penna, PhD’s live demo about it at Cloud Native Rejekts.

Five years later, C++ coroutines still aren’t quite the async silver bullet we hoped for... So, why do they still matter? Ivan Čukić argues they’re far more than a concurrency tool. Think of them as a flow-control construct — like loops, if-statements, or functions — that can make code cleaner and more expressive, even for non-concurrent tasks like parsing, iteration, and state machines. He’s unpacking that perspective today at Meeting C++ & more at 10:20 am CET in Berlin or online: https://hubs.la/Q03Sdt2_0 Can’t join the talk?

Ever notice how your curiosity doesn’t clock out when you do? After a full day of coding, you’re still drawn to new tools and frameworks. Just to see how they tick. In Investing for Programmers, Stefan Papp shows how to take that same curiosity and apply it to making good investment choices. It’s not about chasing trends, but about using a developer’s mindset — experimentation, iteration, problem-solving — to grow your wealth.

Most of us think we know what it means to learn. Or to teach. But treating either as simple can hold us back. Frances Buontempo knows that learning and teaching are complex, creative processes, and she’s exploring exactly that in her keynote at Meeting C++ & more today at 10am CET. It’s the perfect session for anyone who wants to make their next talk, workshop, or mentoring moment more effective.
