I’m preparing a series of videos around platform engineering (looking for insights around) What will be the most impactful trend in platform engineering in 2025? a/ Kubernetes abstraction b/ Optimizing Compute resources w/WASM c/ AI-driven operations d/ Cost optimization with IDPs As the year started, there’s enough in the debate and rightfully so, Treat K8S like a hypervisor or hyperscaler, I need EC2 instance, I don't want to see what behind the scenes nor I'm interested, in the times of Platform engineering w/(IDP noise), I certainly believe #K8S same direction, but when & you’ll accept it still hidden and as with everything in life time will let us know, Ultimate Question to answer in 2025 We Love K8S features but not K8S itself, which lead you to think about K8S should be invisible to many of us, with Platform Engineering how far are we away or closer, 1/ With WASM giving us universal binary and is same for any environment & all it need WebAssembly runtime, & start in less than a millisecond, cloud, on K8s, in data centers, or at the edge, meaning some of container plumbing nightmare eventually goes away, what if I could combine WASM add just what you need in K8S, finding a combination that hide everything else. 2/ Ignoring K8S means going away from its VAST eco-system, a/ you could use and bring them to outside K8S where you are, end up alone warrior b/ Setup K8S with WASM add just what you need, marathon not sprint c/ Choose wisely but Cloud, make sure cost shouldn’t go unchecked, and alot of wishing for customizability and alot of praying for no surprises from choosen cloud provider about COST ripple effect. 3/ Buy the platform alot of wishes unlimited hours of debate, and where to start, how to align if not everyone but most of the stakeholders, who'll be in the debate, how to prioritize, will developer wishes will remain static or dynamic, one can argue you’ll easily forget it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

wasm is a runtime. we would still need a scheduler. that is where k8s comes in, so when you say, container plumbing nightmare, what do you mean by that?
