Listen up—The Podlets are here! We know your podcast queue is probably already pretty full. Why make room for one more? The Podlets is your entry point into the cloud native world.
The Podlets crew has lived and breathed cloud native concepts for years, but we understand that’s not the case for everyone. More people are joining the cloud native community every day, and they can benefit from first getting familiar with the fundamentals. So, we’re here to serve as translators. In every episode, we identify a relevant topic, theme or concept, and then break it down.
For those of you who want a deeper dive, try TGIK live on Fridays, when Joe Beda, Duffie Cooley, Bryan Liles, and others get hands-on with open source projects. You can always dig into the archive too.
We think The Podlets is a great complement to TGIK. And while The Podlets is accessible to newcomers, it’s not only for beginners. Advanced professionals will benefit from having a source of information that helps them keep up with the ever-evolving cloud native field. Because the cloud native space moves so quickly, no one has expert knowledge of every aspect of the ecosystem, and there’s lots of new terminology being introduced by developers. We will provide a well-rounded exploration of cloud native elements, patterns, use cases, and real-world experience in production environments.
Cloud native technologies have unique elements. In the greater tech community, there is not only a lack of knowledge of concepts and certain technologies, but also misunderstanding and almost mysticism surrounding the space. The Podlets show aims to elucidate and demystify these elements to help people confidently embrace cloud native technology.
Program Audience
- Newcomers to moderately advanced users

By the way, as you listen to the first few episodes, you may notice the use of a different name. At the outset, we called ourselves The Kubelets. No, you’re not listening to the wrong podcast. We were exploring different names and approaches and we’ve found our fit—The Podlets.
