If you missed our talked, We have a post on #kubernetes blog discussing the plans to archive Ingress-nginx - Project is getting archived in March 2026 - No dependency updates, bug fixes, releases - Images available, Helm charts - Not gonna break deployments www.kubernetes.dev/blog/2025/11...

🔄 Docker Tip #5: Use Docker volumes for persistent data storage. Your Docker container should always be ready to be killed and restarted. Using volumes will protect your data from being lost by restarts. #DockerHour ⏳
