Four conversations from KubeCon Europe 2026
Four Udienza podcast conversations from KubeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam: what each was about, the thread through them and what else the host saw that week.
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, San Jose. 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 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 forty thousand 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.
Every episode, plus the notes that didn't fit in ten minutes.
One email a week: the episode, three takeaways, and what to read or try next. No sponsor blasts.
