This podcast covers basically everything cloud native. Not just the tech, but also people aspect, the organizational aspect, product, and a bit of marketing of the product.
In every episode, the hosts will cover a theme, and will bring in multiple bold statements linked to the theme which they will debunk.
Episodes are somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes, so they can be easily digested during lunch, your commute to work or home, in the gym, or after your weekly stand up :)
In this special episode of ITQ Cloud Native Chronicles, Burr Sutter from Red Hat joins us to discuss one of the biggest shifts in enterprise IT: agentic AI.
Together, we explore how personal AI agents, OpenClaw and OpenShift are changing the way organizations build, operate and secure AI at scale. From sandboxing and enterprise security to developer productivity, software modernization and the future of platform engineering, Burr shares practical insights and his vision for the next generation of enterprise AI.
Whether you're exploring AI platforms, Kubernetes or OpenShift, this episode offers valuable perspectives on how organizations can safely adopt AI while accelerating innovation.

Live at KubeCon 2026: Platform engineering: Simplicity over complexity
Recorded at KubeCon 2026, Michael Meelis (Platform Engineer at ITQ) sits down with Steve Wade (Founder of Platform Fix) to discuss one of the biggest challenges in platform engineering: complexity.
At KubeCon, it’s easy to get lost in the growing CNCF landscape. But are all these tools actually helping organizations deliver value, or just slowing them down?
This episode explores why simplifying platforms, focusing on developer experience, and aligning with business outcomes is far more important than adopting every new tool.
In this episode they discuss:
Why the CNCF landscape leads to tool sprawl
The risk of building platforms for technology instead of business value
Developer experience and why many platforms fail their users
Why Git should be the real interface of your platform
The downside of tools like Backstage when misapplied
The hidden cost of “new tools” and operational overhead
Real world example: reducing complexity and saving €500K annually
Why platform engineering is ultimately about people, not technology

Live at KubeCon 2026: Kubernetes, AI & virtualization explained
Recorded live at KubeCon 2026, Johan van Amersfoort (Chief Evangelist and AI Lead at ITQ) sits down with Frank Denneman (Distinguished Engineer, AI at Broadcom) to challenge one of the most common assumptions in Cloud Native: does bare metal Kubernetes really exist?
As AI workloads grow and infrastructure becomes more complex, resource management, security, and consistency become critical. This episode explores why virtualization still plays a key role in modern Kubernetes platforms and how solutions like VMware Cloud Foundation and VKS approach this differently.
From GPU allocation and AI workloads to platform consistency and open source alignment, this conversation provides a clear perspective on how enterprise platforms are evolving.
In this episode they discuss:
Why “bare metal Kubernetes” is often a misconception
The role of virtualization in security, isolation, and consistency
Resource management challenges with AI and GPUs
How VKS integrates Kubernetes into VMware Cloud Foundation
Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) and smarter GPU usage
Supporting both CLI driven and UI driven operations
Broadcom’s role in open source and CNCF AI conformance
