Hi, lovely subscribers!
Welcome to the first edition of Behind The Helm, your monthly dose of K8s news. Today, we’ve got a mix of info about KubeCon EU, interesting new tooling, and some fascinating blog posts for your perusal.
Earlier this month, there were some great community events in Europe. Two Scalers went to KCD Amsterdam and met some awesome people, and if the FOMO isn’t too strong you can read about their experience. KCD Paris was also a roaring success; the organisers spent nine months of volunteer work making it happen, and Scaleway was proud to be a sponsor!
KubeCon EU is coming up! Find out what you need to know about spending time in Amsterdam in this great blog post from Lian Li. Co-located events at KubeCon are also filling up fast, so make sure to register for anything that’s a must-attend for you. Check out the schedule and see what’s good!
KWOK was announced at the beginning of this month and it looks very exciting; it’s a tool for mocking pods and nodes, allowing you to simulate enormous clusters with minimal resource usage. If you’re developing new K8s tooling or stress testing a configuration, it could be worth a look!
The deprecated image registry at k8s.gcr.io will no longer be updated after April 3rd, meaning that if you haven’t switched over to the new one at registry.k8s.io you’ll be missing out on updates including security patches. Get your manifests and Helm charts updated!
David Flanagan of Rawkode Academy is launching a new podcast: Cloud Native Chronicles. It’ll focus on the cloud native landscape, and the first episode features our very own Eli Holderness (that’s me!).
Finally, Scaleway has some great new blog posts out this month covering K8s topics. Learn about load balancing for your cluster, or take a journey into the world of documentation translation and managing open-source communities.
That’s all for this month! May your clusters be fully operational, and your deployments smooth.
Yours,
Eli & the rest of the Scaleway team
