The team assumed it was just part of scaling—until they realised they were spending thousands on resources they weren’t even using 🤯   They had 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼-𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 in place, but some instances never scaled down. Old development environments were still active. And reserved instances? Purchased but never fully utilised.   That’s where #FinOps 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲! Instead of just chasing discounts, they built a 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱.

🎉 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰 – 𝟭𝟬 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗿! 🎉 Yesterday, we marked a remarkable milestone: Marc has been with Intercept for 𝟭𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀! A decade filled with dedication, expertise, and tireless support. From the moment he joined, he has been a cornerstone – a reliable force we could always count on. Whether it was tackling technical challenges or simply bringing warmth and energy to the team 💚, Marc was always there. Even when the heating failed, he carried on providing support – wrapped in a blanket and wearing a beanie. 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗺 💪 Marc joined us with impressive experience and quickly became the technical conscience of the team. But life is about more than just work. During his time at Intercept, Marc’s moved house twice, got married (and we were lucky enough to celebrate with him 🥂), and welcomed three beautiful children. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆, 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆!

With KubeCon and CloudNativeCon coming to an end and with all the developments and trends shared over the past couple of days—we cannot be more excited about the future of Cloud Native. 💡We have learned that the cloud native community is ever growing, contributing and shares the mindset of open source and collaboration. 🤖Kubernetes is powering AI and provides the flexibility to be cost efficient and perform at the same time. Many new projects launched with the focus on deploying and managing LLMs the best way possible. 🔭With the non-deterministic nature of LLMs, observability becomes even more crucial. We need to observe responses and the impact on user and solution and feed that information back into our development process. Observability is a key to success when leveraging AI in your solution. 🔐 Supply chain security certainly has gotten the attention of the world and with good reason. The more products, packages and libraries we use, the bigger the risk something in the supply chain may become comprised. Signing your container images, continuous scanning of images and automatic patching are practices that will help you mitigate this. With this list, we are just scratching the surface of what popped out for us at KubeCon and CloudNativeCon. And that’s a good thing — Cloud Native is booming and with the 10 year celebration of CNCF this year, we are just getting started! ☁ Richard Hooper Gert-Jan Poffers Simon Lee Raul Moreno Muñoz Wesley Haakman #CloudNative #CNCF #Cloud #Azure #community #TeamCloudNative #ctencf

𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 Large Language Models can write code, draft content, and even summarise meetings — all in seconds? 🤯 In our latest #podcast, we speak with 🎙️ Emile Verbunt, Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft, about how LLMs and Co-Pilots are already transforming how we work. 💡 What are LLMs, really? 💡 Will #AI take jobs – or reshape them? 💡 And what’s hype vs. real-world impact?

We are halfway KubeCon and CloudNativeCon. Time for a quick check-in with team Intercept from sunny London! ☀️ 📸 After we had tasked them with a completely voluntary team photo, we asked them what stood out for them so far. ☁ Richard Hooper proctored the hands on lab during the KubeCon Azure day. How awesome is that?! Wesley Haakman appreciates the focus on observability for LLMs and how it is even more important to do this well in the world of AI. There was a very good keynote session on this. Gert-Jan Poffers finds the announcement of the NeoNephos initiative to build a cloud native sovereign European cloud is impressive. The especially how it is being build on Cloud Native technologies. Simon Lee sees that supply chain security is emphasized once again and the solutions to help you protect your container images throughout the supply chain are maturing rapidly. Good developments in this field! Raul Moreno Muñoz finds that developments such as AKS fleet manager, but also other open source initiatives show that global multi cluster management is here. It’s amazing to see how orchestration is evolving. More reports to follow! Enjoy the rest of the event! 🚀🚀🚀 #Intercept #CloudNative #Cloud #Azure

In case you missed it: this year we became a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Silver Member and one of our Interceptors just snapped this picture. We’re proud to be a part #TeamCloudNative and the ability to contribute! Interested in brainstorming about all things cloud native? Let us know! #CloudNative #Cloud #Kubernetes
