This is also me trying to get back into the habit of writing regularly, something I’ve wanted to do for a while now.

@containerdays.bsky.social was a blast! I wasn’t on the stage this year, but had a lot of fun with friends and learned from some amazing talks!

Talking about stages, I will speak at the Virtual KyvernoCon 2025 on September 17th about how to use CEL with Kyverno:

I’ve just checked, maybe it’s not anymore, but it was due to concerns regarding child abuse and similar stuff…

Kubernetes The Hard Way guides you through bootstrapping a basic Kubernetes cluster with all control plane components running on a single node, and two worker nodes, which is enough to learn the core concepts.

Kubernetes The Hard Way has been updated. I've also resolved most of the open issues and pull requests as I set the stage to add support for both ARM64 and AMD64, making the project compatible with both CPU architectures while continuing to be cloud provider agnostic. github.com/kelseyhighto...

Next up on the KCD Istanbul stage 🙌💥

Join Christian Melendez and Jan Wozniak as they dive into combining #Karpenter and #KEDA for smarter, more efficient autoscaling in Kubernetes environments.
