Why do Kubernetes operations roles stay unfilled for months? It isn't a lack of tool knowledge — it's that the discipline has splintered into too many specialties. Instead of hiring more heads, absorb the specialization into the platform with managed K3s.
An explainer on the relationship between platform engineering and Kubernetes — the design philosophy of shielding developers from K8s complexity, the three pillars of building an IDP, and managed K3s as an alternative.
CNCF's 2026 survey shows 66% of GenAI organizations run on Kubernetes. From GPU scheduling to multi-tenancy and cost optimization — here's why K8s has become the de facto AI platform, and how managed K8s can cut your build time to zero.
