Get the week's news on Kubernetes, the cloud native landscape, and the wider world of tech. Co-hosts Eric Gregory and Nick Chase break through the jargon and help you make sense of it all.

Nick is back in his usual role as co-Host for this jam-packed episode. From more Kubernetes tooling to Istio "nanoservices" to AI James Earl Jones to Stadia to 5G, there's nearly too much news this week to even wrap your head around. That, and more from your favorite IT and Cloud Native news experts.

A full list of topics for this week include:

• An update on the current Kubernetes ecosystem
• Istio completes its move to the CNCF
• Current state of Service Mesh
• Cloudflare releases Workerd beta
• Holographic calling
• Private 5G
• How the internet needs to change to support 5G applications
• Web-based tech survey from Web Almanac
• The Elon vs. Twitter deal resurfaces
• Goodbye Stadia
• AI James Earl Jones
• Whack-a-Doodle

As mentioned by Eric, this (RCN #49) will be the final episode of Radio Cloud Native (in it's current format).

Please keep the podcast in your feed and keep an eye out for fresh content. Sometime early in this new year, the team at Mirantis is planning to revamp Radio Cloud Native (possibly under a new name, but accessible from this same RSS feed).

Thank you to all of our listeners that kept Radio Cloud Native going over the past two-or-so years. And a special thanks as well as good luck to long-time host Eric Gregory as he pursues future endeavors outside of Mirantis. Stay tuned for more podcasts from Mirantis in 2024!
