A podcast, and the newsroom around it.
Udienza is the video arm of a media project run by Luca Berton from Amsterdam and produced by Open Empower BV: field reports from the conferences where open source and AI infrastructure get decided, official media partnerships with the Linux Foundation's events, the host's books and courses, and one newsletter that ties it together.
Udienza in 82 seconds · 1:22 · A recap of AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe in Amsterdam, September 2026, where Udienza was a media partner. New episodes every Tuesday.

Flexprice: open source billing for AI agents

The format
Why ten minutes, and not an hour.
- One ideaEach episode is one thing the guest built or changed, and why it matters to someone running systems today.
- The hard partWhat broke, what surprised them, what they would do differently. The part you never hear on stage.
- Where they workFilmed at the events and offices where these people actually are: Prague, Amsterdam, Yokohama, Brussels. You see the room, not a studio.
- No boothGuests are chosen for what they built. Sponsors never pick the guest or the questions.
- For the people who run itThe engineer who will never get a badge to KubeCon, and the lead who decides what goes into production.
The host
The host is one of them.
Luca Berton spent fifteen years building enterprise infrastructure, automation and Kubernetes platforms, including at Red Hat. He has written eight technical books, teaches more than 40,000 engineers, and speaks at KubeCon and Red Hat Summit.
That is why the people in these episodes say yes. He asks the questions a peer would ask, and only for ten minutes.
Learn from him directly: the books, including Kubernetes Recipes and Claude Code Masterclass, and the courses.
Work with Luca
The guests build it. Luca helps teams run it in production.
Taking AI from prototype to reliable production: GPU platforms, Kubernetes and platform engineering, automation. Discovery, build, measured handover, for CTOs and platform teams. It starts with a free discovery call.
Built something the rest of us run on?
Udienza films founders, maintainers and CTOs where they already are: at FOSDEM, KubeCon and Open Source Summit. Ten minutes, one idea, on camera. Being a guest is free: guests are chosen for what they built, and sponsors never pick the guest or the questions.
