Cautionary Tales from the Age of AI

Can AI agents actually fix production Kubernetes clusters, or are we just trapped in flashy AI marketing hype?

In this Cloud Native Budapest session at Cloudera, Yurii Palamarchuk (Cloudera) breaks down why most AI demos fail in production, and Péter Megyesi shares how autonomous AI agents (Claude Code, kubectl) resolved a complex 6-year-old Ceph & Kubernetes outage.

Meetup Date - 6th Oct’26 5:30PM to 7PM
Where - Cloudera Budapest Office

📌 Key Highlights:

  • AI Demos vs. Production Reality: Token costs & specification loops
  • AGI Marketing Hype: Evaluating benchmarks like ARC AI3 & Astra
  • Real DevOps Story: Recovering broken Kubernetes & Ceph clusters with AI agents
  • Developer Productivity & The Future of "Vibe Coding"
