About this episode

Bret Fisher discusses pod live migration in Kubernetes with Philip Andrews and Dan Muret from Cast AI.

Bret is joined by Philip Andrews and Dan Muret of Cast AI to discuss pod live migration between nodes in a Kubernetes cluster. 🙌 The Agentic DevOps Guild has launched! It's a training + community + mentorship program for engineers wanting to learn the latest CI/CD automation and dive into Agentic DevOps. Meetups are happening now, with new course videos dropping every few weeks. Join the Guild and become your team's leader in AI for infrastructure automation https://www.bretfisher.com/theguild 🍾 Cast AI dynamically moves your pod to a different node without downtime or data lost. It copies your running pod data, memory, IP address, and TCP connections from one node to another in real time. In this episode, we nerd out over how Cast AI works under the hood, use cases for it, including hardware and OS maintenance on a node. I've got a feeling Cast AI has a winning feature on their hands. ★Show Links★ Cast AI website Cast AI YouTube Channel Check out the video podcast version here: https://youtu.be/yINNWxRywv4 Creators & Guests Cristi Cotovan - Editor Bret Fisher - Host Beth Fisher - Producer Dan Muret - Guest Philip Andrews - Guest You can also support this podcast by…
