Cloud & DevOps, The Learning Curve Made with Restream Studio. Livestream on 30+ platforms at once via https://restream.ioIn this first episode of the Veeam Cloud Native Show, Geoff and Michael...

Geoff & I are kicking something off this week

Our first episode will talk about our journeys from a systems admin based focus to adopting all things DevOps, Cloud, Kubernetes

Also looking at some of the interesting projects, tools, news in the space.

Good balance. I have been using copilot with Claude 3.7

I think I am going to “vibe” code a demo app this weekend.

Goals:

Microservice architecture
Golang flavoured
Data services galore

Something interesting and fun.

If there's one thing the Kubernetes ecosystem needs, it's another abbreviated name with a 'K' in it.

The important thing for me is that it was awesome to learn and share in public.

Feedback was amazing from the community.

Did you just need an inventory or what was the reason to have a look?

I will also check cloudquery out some more. It looks more security focused than Kollect planned to be but someone else politely asked about coupling inventory with security checks and best practices.

Sorry, just had some pretty rude comments and demands.

Thought don’t really need that and as much as I love building and learning in public, I think we can add more and make better and hopefully make public again.

Yes this is possible through Kanister. I am not sure if there is a community blueprint for Redis but it’s possible.

Send backup to said region / location

Restore into new cluster, this would be a new deployment of Kanister connected to same location profile.

I changed the Kollect repo from public off the back of some strange requests and PRs.

For now as a pet project I will keep tinkering and learning.

Needs more AI….

Sorry was driving, got back and listened back and it was

The Cathedral & the Bazaar

Have ordered them both

It was the book that Autumn got you for Xmas and then the other mention was the choice about silicon maybe same book?

Or might have been talk about open source and eMacs

@justingarrison.com great episode. There were two book mentions that I didn’t catch?

It's very overwhelming to consider lists on all these platforms.... I need a better way (again) to tackle:

- YouTube watch later
- Backlog of my podcasts (across spotify and audible)
- Audible long list of audiobooks!
- emails / reports / blogs

A little walk and talk through a little pet project of mine focused on grabbing the inventory of some Cloud and Kubernetes based platforms. For those that re... Cloud & Kubernetes Inventory Project - Kollect

Zen Browser Beautifully designed, privacy-focused, and packed with features.

New week, new browser. I am trying out across my systems to see how we go, Zen Browser zen-browser.app

Visualising Veeam: Kubernetes Monitoring with Grafana and ArgoCD - vZilla I have been concentrating a lot this year on my home lab, in previous posts I have covered the set up but basically I have a 5 node Talos Kubernetes cluster

Taking a look at KubeBuddy for Kubernetes - vZilla I have been meaning to get to this little project for a while, and here we are. You can find a link to the site below, I like this initial in your face

My Thoughts on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and the Power of Vector Databases - vZilla But before we get into RAG, I wanted to touch on Vector Databases a little as they have become popular with the world of AI.

My initial thoughts on using AI to manage Kubernetes Clusters - kubectl-ai - vZilla K8sGPT is for understanding and debugging what's going wrong inside a Kubernetes cluster.

It started with reading up on a tool called ‘kubectl-cli’ from Google vzilla.co.uk/vzilla-blog/...

My main.go file is now nearly 2000 lines of code... things are getting serious here!

I think as boring as it is, I need to split this out into smaller packages....

Welcome to the llm-d website! | llm-d llm-d: a Kubernetes-native high-performance distributed LLM inference framework

My biggest takeaway from afar of Red Hat Summit 2025 is LLM-d

llm-d.ai

Sure, lots of chatter about virtualisation but this project stood out to me. Could this be the defacto inference serving stack going forward?

Well that wasn’t expected. It started as a stride / speed session which would have been around 6km. Then we grabbed a PB with a bit more.

Just add an MCP server.... simples

Thanks to @veeam I just got access to Linkedin Learning

What are some of the good courses and content to get into?

Anyone here got their own courses on that I should watch?

Edit is now open source Edit is a new command-line text editor in Windows. Edit is open source, so you can build the code or install the latest version from GitHub!

Say what Microsoft...

Is this a CLI based editor to compete with VIM... the world is strange right now!

Had a great day out yesterday at the home of Rugby.

My local team made it to their final and got to play there yesterday. Despite the final result they have ticked a box that not many get to do.

Jealous and proud of the Stamford Town Rugby lads and whole club for showing up

Lolz how about a side of VTX for virtualisation
