The future of Kubernetes optimization: from cost to sustainability, with James Wilson | KubeFM

This interview explores the evolution of *Kubernetes tooling* and the future of cloud infrastructure optimization.

In this interview, James Wilson, VP of Engineering at *nOps*, discusses:

- The impact of *open source tools* in Kubernetes, particularly how *Karpenter*, *Kepler*, and *VPA* are shaping the future of multi-dimensional autoscaling.
- Practical approaches to *Kubernetes cost optimization*, from setting organizational priorities to implementing container-level improvements and leveraging *spot instances*.
- How *artificial intelligence* will drive the next decade of Kubernetes, from workload optimization to intelligent orchestration across global data centers.
