Running LLMs on Kubernetes opens up a new can of worms - stuff infra hardening won’t catch. You need a policy-smart gateway to vet inputs, lock down tool use, and whitelist models. No shortcuts. This post drops a reference gateway build usingmirrord(for fast, in-cluster tinkering) andCloudsmith(to t.. read more
