AI SRE for K8s: what’s actually working vs. what’s hype?

There's a lot of noise right now around AI-driven SRE for Kubernetes (auto-remediation, anomaly detection, incident triage, all of it). Vendor demos look great, homegrown Claude-built tools can be slick - but I want a real read on what it's like running this stuff in production.

If you've actually adopted this seriously, not just a POC, I'd like to hear:

- What is it actually catching or fixing that you couldn't before?
- Any false-positive or bad-remediation stories?
- How much trust have you given it? Read-only suggestions, or does it actually take action on your clusters?
- Anything you wish you'd known before rolling it out?

Not looking for product recommendations, more interested in the operational reality (good, bad, or ugly) from real-world stories.

Studying for CKS and ended up building an iOS app for it

I’ve been studying for CKS and generally trying to stay sharp on Kubernetes but most of my study time ends up being at night on my phone while lying in bed. So I built an iOS app for myself to stay sharp on concepts, quiz myself (multiple choice, command builder, YAML fill-in-the-blank). It’s free, no ads, no paywalled content, no account, no data collection. Wasn’t originally planning to share it, but figured it might be useful to someone else in the same boat.

Note: this is not intended to be a supplement for deeper, hands-on courses or guides. Rather a helpful companion app to keep you sharp.
