Hoon Jo

CNCF Ambassador, AAIF (Agentic AI Foundation) Ambassador, and Kubestronaut. I apply and teach Kubernetes, Cloud Native, and Agentic AI in the field. When a question has no published data, I measure it myself: what a CNI costs at idle, how well AI agents handle Kubernetes operations, how Gateway API implementations compare. I have written five technical books, spoken at KubeCon EU, NA, China, India, and Japan, and served on the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon program committee since 2023 across the EU, NA, China, India, and Japan editions. KubernetesLab is where those measurements and field notes live.
