"The days of coding by hand are over" the tagline says on the back. The days of writing prompts to generate garbage that has been trained on garbage are soon here. To keep ourselves employable we need to understand how these LLMs evolve to distinguish hallucinations from reality.

Being "on brand" is something I take more seriously than I'm willing to admit sometimes. HPE got a major facelift a few months ago and now we can enjoy a fully on brand SCOD! The HPE Storage Container Orchestration Documentation portal. You might want to do a hard refresh: datamattsson.io/2Sevm81

A couple of minor issues that affected users of 3PAR, Primera, Alletra 9000 and B10000 prompted the HPE CSI Driver for Kubernetes 3.0.1 patch release. Nimble and Alletra 5000/6000 users may hit the snooze button. datamattsson.io/2Uf8Z2W

My pet side project got itself a long overdue new release. The TrueNAS CSP now supports the latest stable TrueNAS 25.04 and tracks HPE CSI Driver for #Kubernetes v3.0.0. Next, I'm going to have a look at the WebSockets API and have a peek at native NFS support. 😎 datamattsson.io/4mLa39K

Yesterday was #Kubernetes v1.34 release day! 🎊 A few snags in the upstream package repos prevented me from getting the HPE CSI Driver for Kubernetes e2e tests sooner. But here we are, not a speck of lint. 💪

HPE Storage Array Exporter for Prometheus v1.0.4 released! 📣 We worked around the zero used space issue on Alletra Storage MP B10000 and removed all critical CVEs. 🐛 You may also find more details about the onboard exporter of B10000 in the docs. 📚 datamattsson.io/4fHNT6a

The bay area will always be OK. 😎

Who is in the middle of a lateral migration for their virtual infrastructure post the Broadcom acquisition of VMware? I thought so. Why not leapfrog and run your VMs on Kubernetes instead to gain the benefit of both while learning new patterns to deploy and manage workloads? datamattsson.io/3Z0BG5o

Platform engineering teams looking for a scalable Kubernetes cluster dispenser should take a serious look a k0s, zero friction Kubernetes. k0s clusters are managed by k0rdent. Today it's also possible to include the HPE CSI Driver for Kubernetes as part of a ServiceTemplate: datamattsson.io/42QyJqF

Customers no longer need to boot VMs from Longhorn and can now leverage their existing SANs instead of micro-managing drives in their compute. Deploy SUSE Virtualization (formerly Harvester) with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 for a fully certified solution. datamattsson.io/44nDM2Y

If you ever felt insecure about applying for PM roles, here's the cure! There's now an API available to help reply to all those pesky RFE proposals where you spend most of your time as a PM. Confidently sit in back-to-back meetings knowing every reply is just a curl call away. buff.ly/oiGcZVM

SUSE Virtualization 1.5.0 bring full support for 3rd party CSI drivers. Customers are no longer locked into the HCI paradigm and may now build virtualization clusters by scaling compute, network and storage independently. HPE CSI Driver for #Kubernetes is fully certified: datamattsson.io/4jDRiEn

A bit late on the ball here but Kubernetes v1.33 that was released yesterday PASS all CSI e2e tests with HPE CSI Driver for Kubernetes v2.5.2. This is the boredom I'm here for. Deploy with confidence!

What society would've looked like if the Dreamcast had a DVD player. #KubeVirt #Kubernetes

Start planning your vSphere to KubeVirt migration with HPE CSI Driver for Kubernetes using HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 today. #Kubernetes datamattsson.io/44CdDgI

If you're thinking about the challenges of migrating your data heavy #VMware vSphere VMs to KubeVirt VMs running on #Kubernetes and the downtime and risk associated with it, look no further. datamattsson.io/3YbVanh

Somehow, the future is both going to be a dystopian techno sci-fi hellscape AND we're gonna have coal and measles and robber barons and a permanent underclass. Philip K. Dickens

PSA! 📣 The HPE Developer Community newsletter for April is out! 📰 Besides the regular AI sprinkles there's deep-dive content on virtual machine management with KubeVirt by yours truly. 💪 datamattsson.io/3FULS8Q

One of my fun side projects to keep my grey matter working is maintaining a TrueNAS CSP for the HPE CSI Driver for Kubernetes. This enables home labs to run K8s similar to how an enterprise would deploy and run clusters supported by external storage. Today v2.5.2 released! datamattsson.io/3pwBiYi

What do you want to compute today? 🤔 This is what an #HPE ProLiant RL300 Gen11 with #Ubuntu 24.04 installed looks like. 😮 (not April Fools...) #microk8s #kubernetes datamattsson.io/3IpoEVr

For over 25 years I've solved and debugged problems with network packet captures and Wireshark long before Wireshark became Wireshark. Run, sniff, analyze and iterate until you find the problem. The challenges we face today is that we need a MITM to actually see what is going on.

I hereby submit myself to the Darwin awards and serve as a warning to others. The ACTUAL inventory was already destroyed as I requested. I only discovered my error when the previous inventory got recreated. A fat finger for the books as the ANSIBLE_INVENTORY could might as well been pointed to prod.

A nice overview for getting started with #KubeVirt for VM management and how it integrates with #Ansible, as well as UIs such as #OKD and #Harvester Thanks for sharing with us, @datamattsson.io developer.hpe.com/blog/managem...

Last night I thought I'd "make" something for Pi day. 🥧 I did a fresh install of Ubuntu and MicroK8s on my Pi400 with the endgame of passing the CSI e2e test suite with the HPE CSI Driver. Well, it's never as easy as you think. 🤷‍♂️ It's technically still Pi day on Hawaii, so HAPPY 3/14! #Kubernetes

Curious about VM management on #Kubernetes with #KubeVirt? I've typed an introduction to the three most common patterns I've seen and used coming from a legacy VM environment (oVirt and vSphere). Check it out on the HPE Developer Community: datamattsson.io/3FoHhf6

The recent #HPE CSI Driver for #Kubernetes update included a volumeMode transformation that will allow customers to backup #KubeVirt VMs using Veeam Kasten. The official "Veeam Ready" badge has now been tacked on after validation. Protect your VMs and containers today! datamattsson.io/4btxHTY

The HPE Developer Community newsletter for March is out! Immerse yourself in using webhooks for GreenLake Cloud, gain insights how gen AI is used at HPE or maybe take a plunge into eBPF to learn how to gain state-of-the-art visibility into your infrastructure. datamattsson.io/3DuzxY3

Credit where credit is due. Don't overlook the small folk. I'm decommissioning a project on Digital Ocean today. I remember they had one well communicated outage a few years ago. That was apparently 4½ years ago to be exact (don't worry, this Ubuntu 14.04 droplet was not exposed to the Internet).

Kubernetes is just a fad. It will blow over. 🤷‍♂️ The channel user limit is 200,000 for the folks wondering. 💅🏻
