Presenting Kubernetes MCP Server ☸️ Coming to Kubecon? Let's meet
Hello, I’m Rohit Ghumare - That DevOps Guy from Twitter. Why are you receiving this e-mail? you must have subscribed to my newsletter, gumroad, or medium subscriber list.
If you love these newsletter issues, please share them with your friends, colleagues, and companies. I’m looking for sponsors to continue writing this awesome content, which is free for every cloud native enthusiast. It requires a lot of effort and time. ❤️
Welcome to the March 2025 edition of the DevOps Advocate Newsletter. As we move into the second quarter of 2025, in this issue, we recap the major announcements, insightful research, and vibrant community discussions that are shaping the DevOps landscape as we gear up for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 in London. Let’s dive in to explore how AI and Cloud Native are converging and what it means for engineering teams and leaders.
First of all, I would like to share something I created to simplify your life if you’re someone who dislikes remembering those kubectl commands 🙂 and wants an automated method to address Kubernetes issues.
☸️ Presenting Kubernetes MCP Server, Connect with Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf like AI tools, and see the magic happening 🪄
I launched this publicly two days ago, and it already hit 175+ stars ⭐️ This is my first time launching on Product Hunt. Love the way people are supporting this open source project.
Made your Ghibli Image yet ??? 😜
I wanted to do more, so I went ahead and added myself to my current favorite Manga, Solo Leveling. GPT-4o Image generation is dope!
People literally forgot about how powerful Gemini 2.5 Pro is… And it’s unbelievable that this model is free to use on gemini[dot]google[dot]com, and it is publicly available now. You can literally one-shot code games with it, as shown below.

Upcoming Events to Watch
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 is right around the corner (April 1–4 in London), and it’s the focal point of the Cloud Native world this spring. Here are some highlights and things to watch for at the event:
Key Themes – AI, Edge, and Beyond: With 229 curated sessions on the schedule, KubeCon EU will cover the gamut of cloud-native topics. Notably, many talks revolve around serverless containers, edge-native patterns, and AI-powered cluster management – indicating where the industry is headed. We anticipate discussions on running AI/ML workloads on Kubernetes (there’s even a Kubeflow Summit co-located), and case studies on using eBPF for networking and observability. Security is always a theme, with sessions on software supply chain security and zero-trust Kubernetes likely drawing big crowds.
Co-Located Events: The week is packed with co-located events on Day 0 addressing specialized interests. Just to name a few: Cloud Native + Kubernetes AI Day (diving into how AI intersects with cloud native), Platform Engineering Day (all about internal developer platforms), OpenTofu Day (focused on the new open-source Terraform alternative), ServiceMesh and Observability days, and even Cloud Native Telco Day for telecom use cases. This breadth shows how expansive the cloud-native ecosystem has become – there’s something for everyone, whether you’re into networking, data on Kubernetes, or cutting-edge AI ops.
Community and CNCF Updates: We can expect the CNCF to make some announcements during KubeCon keynotes. Often, project graduation announcements or new project additions to the foundation are revealed. (Perhaps we’ll hear updates on projects like Backstage or Crossplane, or new collaborations in the works.) CNCF CTO Chris Aniszczyk is slated as a keynote speaker, so watch for his take on the state of the ecosystem. Another trend to watch is sustainability in cloud, with talks and keynotes likely touching on optimizing resource usage (cost and energy) for Kubernetes workloads.
If You’re Attending: Don’t miss the hallway track! KubeCon EU is as much about networking as content. There will be meetups for various special interest groups and the Maintainer Summit for project maintainers. Given the conference’s location, it’s an excellent opportunity for the cloud-native community to connect. And for those remote, many sessions will be recorded or live-streamed. Keep an eye on CNCF’s YouTube or the event portal for content if you can’t be there in person.
Looking further out, several Kubernetes Community Days (KCD) are on the horizon post-KubeCon, which keep the momentum going at local levels. For instance, KCD Czech & Slovak 2025 is scheduled for June 5–6 in Bratislava (with CFPs just closed in March), KCD Munich 2025 is coming up in July. These volunteer-driven events are fantastic for regional knowledge sharing and are part of CNCF’s efforts to grow the community globally. If you’re nearby, consider attending or speaking – they’re excellent ways to plug into the community.
Awesome Community Reads:
Kubernetes Security Project Joins CNCF Incubation: The popular open-source Kubernetes security platform Kubescape achieved CNCF Incubating status at the end of February. The promotion, celebrated by the community, reflects Kubescape’s growing adoption for end-to-end K8s security scanning. As an incubating project, Kubescape will benefit from greater community support on its mission to simplify Kubernetes security throughout the development lifecycle.
CNCF Project Milestones: The Karmada project (Kubernetes multi-cluster orchestration) launched an Adopter’s Group to showcase real-world use cases, and other projects like Istio published reports claiming best-in-class performance for service mesh security.
Research Spotlight – LLMs for Cloud Ops: Academia is also exploring AI’s role in DevOps. A noteworthy arXiv paper from late February introduced LADs: Leveraging LLMs for AI-Driven DevOps, proposing an AI-driven framework for cloud configuration automation. The researchers use techniques like retrieval-augmented generation and chain-of-thought prompting to have a language model generate optimal infrastructure configs and then refine them via feedback loops.
