A worthy read about K8s clusters and their advantages over local k3d, KinD or minikube instances. https://loft.sh/blog/vcluster-for-local-development/

Big news here for the users of

kubecolor

, the

kubectl

wrapper that adds cool colors… I forked the project that wasn’t maintained for quite some time and it’s now ready to use with some cool patches applied. Coloring scheme has been changed, and we may revert that in the future, please open an issue on that if you prefer the old colours. Get it at https://github.com/kubecolor/kubecolor or

brew install kubecolor/tap/kubecolor

I use runbooks for work with K8s. I like how lots of repeatable tasks can be replaced by automation. Just wanted to share this article, someone else might discover runbooks the way I do: https://itnext.io/how-to-automate-repetitive-tasks-in-kubetneres-with-runbooks-8b039976f546 You’re welcome 😉

Happy Friday! Just a meme to end the week...👀

Who is coming to KubeCon?

Hey all, Some time ago, we at Komodor, started working on a new OSS project called Helm-Dashboard. Now, it’s finally ready for users, and I’m excited to share with the world. You can see its GitHub repo here: https://github.com/komodorio/helm-dashboard So Helm-Dashboard is basically a GUI for Helm, and it’s designed to solve some of the more acute painpoints of Helm users by visualizing changes in Helm charts. The goal is to help beginner Helm users to get started with Helm, and for more experienced users to speed up operations. I invite everyone who is using Helm to give it a try and share your feedback. Feel free to open GitHub issues, send PRs, ask questions in a dedicated #helm-dashboard channel on our Slack Kommunity: https://join.slack.com/t/komodorkommunity/shared_invite/zt-1dm3cnkue-ov1Yh~_95teA35QNx5yuMg Give it a ⭐ if you liked it :) Or consider upvoting on HackerNews: https://news.ycombinator.com/show

So this is the new thing after PAWS -> Score: https://score.dev/

Hey Kubernauts 👋 I recently joined a new company where we deploy everything on Kubernetes. A single Argo CD instance manages all of our clusters and deploys a lot of stuff. There are many Argo CD Applications, some of which create other Applications. All of these manifests are rendered with Kustomize. Needless to say, there’s a lot of code! I wanted a visual aid to understand all that we deployed and how it was organised by cluster. So I wrote a CLI that parses all our code and displays the tree of Argo CD Applications across our clusters. I works really well, so I thought I would share. The screenshot below is what the CLI’s output looks like. As platform engineers and fellow Kubernetes users, how interested would you be for me to make this tool open source? Let me know 🙂

Hi! How do you handle JWT validation in EKS? (Client-2-service / service-2-service) I thought about 2 use cases: (1) offload entire auth logic from app code (i.e jwt validation) to some 3rd party, e.g by using some service mesh vendor like itsio. (2) keep using the in-house app logic for jwt validation, but instead of including it in every microservice, reuse it in the same way a default lambda authorizer is set in AWS API gateway. what’s the equivalent of that in Kubernetes? Thanks!

Thats a hard question to answer if the possible answers is everything in the cncf landscape

Hello 👋 , i wrote a tool for drift detection for kubernetes need some early feedback , repo here https://github.com/ajayk/drifter

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming up, which put added pressure on platform engineering and DevOps teams to ensure their Kubernetes environments are ready to take on the peak seasonal loads that come with these events. Check out this article that dives deeper into the topic and see why your K8s environment might be susceptible to underperformance this holiday season.

Hello team! I have a question related to webhook configurations on kubernetes. How can I specify the namespace where the webhook will be run?

Hi! Recently I have found an interesting tool: https://porter.sh/. It implements CNAB specifications and because I'm responsible for preparing k8s based benchmarking workload it seems to fit my needs perfectly. I'm going to test it in my free time, but maybe someone here uses/used it and has some thoughts about it 🙂

Hi everyone! I just wrote an article about Kubernetes autoscaling, based on a lot of customer's issues and miss understanding. Hope it will help others: https://www.qovery.com/blog/everything-i-wanted-to-know-about-kubernetes-autoscaling

Hi again folks! 👋 A few months ago, we at Komodor released a new open-source project called Helm-Dashboard, which got a lot of positive feedback and attention from the community. I’m happy to share that now Helm-Dashboard can be installed both locally AND on a cluster. It’s basically a GUI for Helm, designed to solve some of the more acute pain points of Helm users by visualizing changes in Helm charts. The goal is to help beginner Helm users to get started with Helm, and for more experienced users to speed up operations. The new cluster installation capability would enable users to collaborate better and share the same view of their charts. Check it out on GitHub: https://github.com/komodorio/helm-dashboard Feel free to join our Slack Kommunity: https://join.slack.com/t/komodorkommunity/shared_invite/zt-1dm3cnkue-ov1Yh~_95teA35QNx5yuMg Give it a ⭐ if you liked it :)

Anyone run Home Assistant on #kubernetes?

Hi there ... My name is Gianni. I've been directed to this slack channel by internaldeveloperplatform.org . I'm working as a platform engineer with Helm, Pulumi, Puppet. Deploying to AWS, Kubernetes, Heroku and on premise VM's. But I am also a dev and developed my own Heroku alternative as a fully selfhosted IDP for Kubernetes. It is called Kubero and it is fully open-source . It comes with a UI, API and CLI https://github.com/kubero-dev/kubero Thread in #intros

Hi all. Anyone else running keycloak as a means of authenticating traffic for istio? I am looking for some help and feedback on our work. Happy to share some of what we have done and some of our strategy in return.

Hi there, do you know on methods or tooling to assign a Pod a specific IO load (load 1/5/15) profile? We have several pod as queue workers running across the cluster, they only need about 300m CPU and 400Mi RAM, however each Pod generate a lot of IO and compute load, hence slowing everything down. Is there any method to distribute the Pods better and not just set a high

resources.requests.cpu

, we do not want to waste computing power with almost empty nodes. Currently is not possible to change the software to be more performant 🤷

Hey gang! 🤟 Komodor’s latest open-source project, Helm-Dashboard is generally available with the release of V.1.0.0 Coincidently at the same time the project crossed 3K stars on GitHub (and hundreds of daily active users), only three months since it was released! Some of the cool new features you can expect to see in the new version: • Auto-update repositories when installed into cluster • The ability to reconfigure charts without access to their source • Specifying multiple working namespaces • Self-sufficient binary, no helm/kubectl requirement • REST API documented • As always, we welcome everyone to provide feedback and suggestions on the project’s roadmap on our social channels, GitHub, or the Slack Kommunity. We’ve even created a user survey form to make it easier on you 🙂

Hi Best and simplest orchestration of K8S cluster for baremetal vms running on Ubuntu on-premisse aswell as in Azure on vms?

Rancher/kubermatic if you want something off the shelf

If you want something that involves a bit more work there is https://github.com/arlonproj/arlon which leverages cluster API to create the clusters
