Build your first Kubernetes controller — in under 3 hours!
Hands-on workshop with @fedepaol.bsky.social & F. Romani: write, deploy, and test a real controller with custom APIs and best practices.
⚙️ Write Your First Kubernetes Controller
#golang #golab2025

Check the last thing I worked on! I released the first iteration of OpenPERouter, a kubernetes component that mimics a PE Router allowing you to define EVPN tunnels up to the kubernetes node. It integrates with Calico, MetalLB and any bgp speaking component!

openperouter.github.io

Just don't give up! I use a cantor and I remember the first period being terrible!

Also, reminder that if your organization is using it, the project would benefit from having it under adopters: github.com/metallb/meta...

A new MetalLB version is out, packed with new features, bug fixes (and new bugs)! metallb.io/release-notes/

Unnumbered BGP, BGP advertisement status, AddressPool status and much more!

Grab it while it's hot!

Go Test Training Camp, Wed, May 28, 2025, 6:30 PM | Meetup **Vi trovate spesso a rilasciare applicazioni buggate in produzione? E a introdurre nuovi bug quando provate a fixare i vecchi?** Avere una buona coverage delle nostre app

Around Florence? Interested in Go? Next Wednsday I'll be a guest of the @golab.io organizers and will host a workshop about Go testing with my colleague Francesco Romani! www.meetup.com/develer-meet...

On my way to #kubecon!

We are trying to put together a list of MetalLB adopters. If your organization or your product is using MetalLB in a way or another, please file a PR! It would help a project you are using :-)

Interested in talking about MetalLB and networking? Want some stickers? Don't be shy and come find me at Kubecon London!
I'll be staffing the MetalLB kiosk in the projects area on the morning of Wednesday, 2 April

Open source maintainers are feeling the squeeze Overworked, under pressure, and subjected to abuse – is it really worth it?

This is all too common - www.theregister.com/2025/02/16/o... It's not new at all. cc @dims.dev

Was great! Demo worked, so what else should one ask for :p?

From the @fosdem.bsky.social stage with @fedepaol.bsky.social and his deep dives into EVPN and k8s.

How was it, Federico?

MetalLB in the containers devroom at #fosdem :-)

Super interesting talk about swissmaps internals at #fosdem #golang by @bboreham.bsky.social

State of go in go devroom at #fosdem

So who's at #fosdem?

Two days until fosdem, where I'll talk about VXLan, EVPN, Kubernetes, and a lot of other things I have no clue about!

it was a nice refresher!

and if you want to refresh your memory (or learn about) EVPN, @artofneteng.bsky.social's last episode with @aninchat.bsky.social is really cool!

FOSDEM 2025 - Running an EVPN Endpoint in a Kubernetes Cluster—On My Laptop!

My favorite conference is about to come! I'll talk in the FOSDEM network devroom about how to leverage kind and containerlab to have a full evpn enabled topology in your laptop (and maybe a bit more than that - wink wink)! fosdem.org/2025/schedul...

Yet another post of my EVPN tinkering series, where now I provide EVPN termination to a Kind node attached to a ContainerLab topology by running FRR and other containers as Podman Systemd units (inside Kind!!!). fedepaol.github.io/blog/2025/01...

Kids asleep. Santa mode is ON 🎅

Fosdem!

congrats!

Today I played "let's release a new MetalLB when all github is all about unicorns (but no rainbows)"
