<p>This episode of <strong>Ship It Weekly</strong> 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.</p><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p>Kubernetes v1.36 release <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://kubernetes.io/blog/2026/04/22/kubernetes-v1-36-release/">https://kubernetes.io/blog/2026/04/22/kubernetes-v1-36-release/</a></p><p>Gateway API v1.5 <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://kubernetes.io/blog/2026/04/21/gateway-api-v1-5/">https://kubernetes.io/blog/2026/04/21/gateway-api-v1-5/</a></p><p>AWS Copilot CLI end of support <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/announcing-the-end-of-support-for-the-aws-copilot-cli/">https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/announcing-the-end-of-support-for-the-aws-copilot-cli/</a></p><p>Airbnb on alert development <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/it-wasnt-a-culture-problem-upleveling-alert-development-at-airbnb-01e2290eb0f5">https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/it-wasnt-a-culture-problem-upleveling-alert-development-at-airbnb-01e2290eb0f5</a></p><p>Cloudflare on non-human identities, OAuth visibility, and scoped permissions <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://blog.cloudflare.com/improved-developer-security/">https://blog.cloudflare.com/improved-developer-security/</a></p><p>Azure DevOps Server April patches <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/april-patches-for-azure-devops-server/">https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/april-patches-for-azure-devops-server/</a></p><p>OTLP metrics for Google Cloud Monitoring <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/management-tools/otlp-opentelemetry-protocol-for-google-cloud-monitoring-metrics">https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/management-tools/otlp-opentelemetry-protocol-for-google-cloud-monitoring-metrics</a></p><p>Past episode where we talked about Cloudflare Mesh <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tellerstech.com/ship-it-weekly/aws-interconnect-ga-cloudflare-mesh-gitlab-19-eks-auto-mode-and-opentelemetry-config/">https://www.tellerstech.com/ship-it-weekly/aws-interconnect-ga-cloudflare-mesh-gitlab-19-eks-auto-mode-and-opentelemetry-config/</a></p><p>This week’s On Call Brief <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tellerstech.com/on-call-brief/2026-W16/">https://www.tellerstech.com/on-call-brief/2026-W16/</a></p><p>On Call Brief: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://oncallbrief.com/">https://oncallbrief.com/</a></p><p>More episodes and show notes <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://shipitweekly.fm/">https://shipitweekly.fm/</a></p>
