In this special live edition of ITQ Cloud Native Chronicles, recorded at Red Hat Summit: Connect 2025, Robert Kloosterhuis sits down with Andrew Block, Distinguished Architect at Red Hat, to discuss the evolution of Helm, the rise of OCI as a distribution standard, and how AI is reshaping the cloud native landscape.
Andrew shares his perspective on the upcoming Helm release, the growing role of OCI in container ecosystems, and his work on ModelPack, a new standard for packaging and distributing AI models. They also explore how organizations can adopt cloud native technologies effectively, balance skills and innovation, and use AI-driven automation to simplify IT operations.
