Hi! 👋 How can we make this channel better? Please share what you would be interested in reading about / seeing more here. 📹 More video tutorials ✍️ More long form content 🙃 Give me the memes

@Marcel Müller will show how clusters can be easily managed through GitOps with Cluster API in his talk at PlatformCon. Who out here uses Cluster API and what are your experiences?

This is a great intro video to made by Google Cloud Tech, found it very useful.

Our Lead QA @Nils Balkow-Tychsen did a great video series on Application configuration management on Kubernetes a while back. He covers: • Intro to app config management on Kubernetes • Different options for managing app configs on K8s • kubectl basic commands • Helm charts: Application configuration management • Helm charts: How to build a decent developer experience on top?

The team and I were discussing this week what we would expect from a successful K8s migration. Wondering how people here planned for their K8s adoption and rollout?

Have you heard that recently MLflow has added the capability to run MLflow Projects in a Kubernetes cluster? A worthy 6min read I found here.

An ultimate Docker swarm test drive kubernetes:

Just made a medium to cover kubeflow deployment in Rancher RKE2 distro - Bare Metal nodes. https://medium.com/@shan-ops/mlops-platform-in-rancher-rke2-in-bare-metal-environment-b764d3bbadf2 https://medium.com/@shan-ops/mlops-platform-on-rancher-rke2-kubernetes-cluster-bare-metal-environment-d12184e4c6c3

As K8s takes a key part of the tech enterprise, the need to secure and strengthen access becomes crucial. A worthy 4min ready about managing access to clusters at scale.

What’s the best way to upskill a team in Kubernetes kubernetes?

Hey all - I’m the founder of an early stage startup and we’re trying to understand the use of docker in microservices environments (10+ services). Is anyone willing to help us run some product interviews to build/test our hypotheses?

Anyone out here using Datree? Watched this video of @viktor about and would like to get some more opinions on it. I understand that Datree doesn’t change gatekeeper or other solutions, just complements them, but is it worth using it at all? I honestly find more reasons to say “no” than “yes”. There are no snippets, admission controllers, no self-host. But maybe I’m too flat here.

Kubernetes is a de facto industry standard, but our team still raises many questions about whether to switch to it or not. We’re looking for more resources discussing +/- of it. Just read this good one at the New Stack, might be useful to you too: https://thenewstack.io/can-you-live-without-kubernetes/.

Made another medium story about the deployment of MLflow https://platformengin-b0m7058.slack.com/archives/C037GR3TNH5/p1654386772985289 https://medium.com/@shan-ops/mlops-platform-mlflow-on-rancher-rke2-kubernetes-cluster-bare-metal-environment-ea478814011a

Just read this cool 7-min read about K8s Gateway API. The Kubernetes SIG-Network announced version 0.5.0 of the much anticipated Gateway API. I honestly see this as wonderful work done by the community in gathering case studies and unifying them in a responsible way.

hey folks If you are looking at securing workloads on Kubernetes, this might be an interesting option

Hey all… I'm wondering does anyone have experience with AKS and AGIC? I'm looking into using it as a public facing ingress for our multi tenant k8s cluster + non-kubernetes workloads (on-prem workloads). Any feedback in terms of things to watch out, limitations, pain points is very welcome!

Anyone here uses Kubernetic? Would you recommend shifting from Lens? https://github.com/harbur/kubernetic

💡 CPU limits are the most misunderstood aspect of resource management on #Kubernetes. Robusta.dev CEO @Natan Yellin will explain how they work and go over best practices for using them. Luca and Natan will chat about: • How CPU limits work under the hood • Three common misconceptions about resource management on #K8s • Whether you should or shouldn’t apply limits to your own workloads Register 👉 here. Let’s play 🎮! Guess which one fact of the given ones below is true about Natan? 1️⃣ When Natan is not on his laptop, he’s out in the garden growing cherry tomatoes 2️⃣ Natan hates reading Wikipedia pages 3️⃣ Natan was a botanist before starting his business

👋 after we deploy our k8s clusters/tooling we use popeye to do some really basic sanity checks of our clusters - does anyone know any comparable alternatives?

Hi all, is it possible to downgrade any application using Helm?

@viktor is the host of the DevOps Toolkit channel and co-host of DevOps Paradox AND he thinks Kubernetes is not what most of us think it is. Intrigued? Join the webinar *tomorrow* where he’ll try to demystify Kubernetes and prove that it is more than it appears at first glance.

Hello! 👋 I have a follow up question for @Natan Yellin fantastic talk regarding CPU limits: My environment features mainly (and sadly) some not-so-cloud-native, monolithic applications that were squeezed in a container. That means, I have workloads that have requests like 32CPUs... Currently we have big issues with performance and throttling of CPU. I have the feeling that this has something to do with the CPU limits and so I want to try it without setting them. 👍 Now I try to wrap my head around what could be the worst case scenario when I spawn my pods without the limits: Lets assume all pods start up and try to take everything they can get. Can they "steal" each others CPU? I think not, because I set requests, so each pod will get its part of the CPU time, and they can only "fight" for the spare time? What is with the node OS itself? AFAIK K8s never can use up all resources as there is some mechanism that will always have some "resources" for the node itself?

Found some good tips and tricks in this article on how virtual Kubernetes clusters can speed up your local development.

Hi all, I wrote a blog post about my Crossplane POC, you can find it here, please comment if you have questions or answers: https://medium.com/p/f591e66065ae

A-ha moment for me 😂. I was looking for a self-hosted Kubernetes instance of simple login with encrypted email and I found Proton as the solution. https://simplelogin.io/blog/simplelogin-join-proton/

We’re trying to build a CD pipeline that can be automated from PR merge to prod. Is there a CD solution that offers full automation between stages? We know we can do this with Harness, but we prefer not to because it would be pricey for us due to the large number of services we work on. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Self hosting gitlab would probably be the cheapest

you can also go for the opensource version of harness and self host it https://www.drone.io/

Hey all 👋 Has anyone used Strimzi to run Kafka on Kubernetes? I’m looking for some feedback… Were there any show stoppers, or significant hurdles along the way?
