We cover Broadcom’s contribution of Project Valero to the CNCF Sandbox and why that matters for the future of Kubernetes backup, disaster recovery, and migration. The conversation also explores what it means to deepen VMware’s long standing commitment to the Kubernetes and CNCF community, and why community driven innovation matters for customers and partners alike. We also discuss new VKS ecosystem partnerships with F5, Kong, and Tigera, along with the broader strategy of keeping VKS close to upstream Kubernetes while making it easier for platform teams to adopt the tools and architectures they already use. If you are at KubeCon, stop by Booth 715 to connect with the team and see the latest demos and announcements in action. #KubeCon #Kubernetes #CNCF #Valero #VKS #PlatformEngineering #CloudNative #VirtuallySpeaking #VMwareCloudFoundation","meta_description":"KubeCon 2026 is underway, and in this episode of Virtually Speaking, Pete Fletcher and Jad Elzein sit down with Himanshu Singh to break down some of the b…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":708,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/virtually-speaking-podcast-174853/episodes/kubecon-2026-announcements-valero-joins-cncf-sandbox-and-new-vks-partnerships/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/virtually-speaking-podcast-174853/kubecon-2026-announcements-valero-joins-cncf-sandbox-and-new-vks-partnerships.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
