Ep. #41, Containers at the Edge of AI with Phil Estes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On episode 41 of Open Source Ready, Brian Douglas and John McBride sit down with Phil Estes. They explore why the definition of a container remains surprisingly fuzzy, how microVM-backed sandboxes could support the next generation of AI agents, and what AI-generated contributions mean for projects like containerd. Phil also explains why the future of open source depends as much on trusted maintainers and healthy communities as it does on code.
