34m
From KubeCon, Alan Shimel, Mike Vizard and Guy Currier examine NVIDIA’s leadership transition, Kubernetes readiness for agentic AI and whether IT teams should build or buy AI agents.
NVIDIA Leadership
The panel discusses Jensen Huang’s departure and whether AI adoption depends on high-profile industry leaders or the underlying demand for useful technology. Their discussion of industry consequences is analysis, not a prediction of market performance.
Kubernetes and Agentic AI
The conversation turns to the infrastructure demands of agentic systems. The panel considers scale, workload coordination and the operational work required to support AI beyond a demonstration.
Build or Buy AI Agents
IT teams face a practical choice between developing their own agents and adopting vendor offerings. The panel weighs integration, maintenance and how much responsibility organizations want to retain.
Recorded at KubeCon on November 12, 2026.
Hosts: Alan Shimel and Mike Vizard
Guest: Guy Currier
