The hardest part of Kubernetes security is rarely features. It is adoption.

Abhishek Rao explains why teams struggle to operationalize security and how observability tools, dashboards, and policy tooling can lower the barrier. His focus is on helping engineers gain confidence before enforcing stricter controls.

If people can use the tools comfortably, security practices stick.

- why proxy metrics can produce extreme data volume
- how AI agents run queries before human review

AI does not just make the requested change. It often expands the scope.

Pronomita Dey describes how AI-generated code can turn a simple automation into a much larger diff filled with comments, exceptions, and extra logic. That makes review harder, increases trust too early, and raises the need for guardrails, policy as code, and stronger pre-merge checks.
