Kubernetes 1.36, Gateway API v1.5, AWS Copilot End of Support, and Cloudflare Non-Human Identities

Kubernetes 1.36, Gateway API v1.5, AWS Copilot End of Support, and Cloudflare Non-Human Identities

Author: Teller's Tech - DevOps, SRE and Cloud Podcast April 24, 2026 Duration: 20:24

This episode of Ship It Weekly is about platforms getting sharper about defaults, ownership, and the old paths they are no longer willing to quietly carry forever. Brian covers Kubernetes 1.36 and why it feels more like a cleanup-and-maturity release than a flashy feature dump, Gateway API v1.5 moving more networking behavior into the stable path, AWS Copilot CLI reaching end of support and what that means for teams still sitting on the older “easy” ECS workflow, Airbnb’s alert-development overhaul and why noisy or weak alerts are often a workflow problem long before they become an on-call problem, and Cloudflare’s push to treat scripts, agents, and third-party tools like real identities with real blast radius. He also hits the latest Azure DevOps Server patches and Google’s OTLP metrics support for Cloud Monitoring.
