About this listen
This episode of the "Observability Unpolluted" podcast features Solutions Architect Suman Chakraborty of Platform9, who shares critical insights from his journey moving from core telecom engineering to cloud-native leadership. Suman highlights that while Kubernetes offers essential scaling capabilities, it's not a universal solution for every workload. He emphasizes the urgent need for companies to transition from reactive monitoring (which detects failure only after an outage) to proactive observability, which uses metrics and traces to spot issues before they impact users. Crucially, Suman stresses that the best defense against embarrassing production incidents is a shift to GitOps and version control for all infrastructure, eliminating disruptive manual changes. Ultimately, he views new concepts like AI in DevOps as a necessary "glue" for automation, but one that rests on the foundational mastery of skills like Linux, CI/CD, and Kubernetes.
