Many folks ask about how they would contribute to the Kubernetes project (or any other open source one). This will be a great introduction!

I’m very proud to share that I received “Lift and Shift” award from @cncf.bsky.social, along with my colleague @koksay.bsky.social and some very awesome folks from @kubernetes.io SIG K8s Infra! 🤩 We did some outstanding job, and huge thanks to CNCF for recognizing our work ✨💖

@helm.sh 4 development is now open and the roadmap ahead.

I received the "Lift and Shift" community award from @cncf.bsky.social alongside my colleague Marko Mudrinić for our work with the sig-k8s-infra. I’m grateful to collaborate with many outstanding individuals in the community, and I feel fortunate to be a part of the Cloud Native Family!

Bugün @developerguy.bsky.social ile DevFest Istanbul’da Crossplane ve GitOps hakkında konuştuk. Sunum sırasında çok eğlendik, umarım dinleyenler için de faydalı olmuştur. Bizi çok güzel ağırlayan GDG Istanbul ekibine ve emeği geçen herkese sonsuz teşekkürler!..

So you want to roll your own application platform. All you need is: Linux Docker Kubernetes Istio Prometheus Fluentd Grafana Jaeger Harbor Open Policy Agent Vault GitHub Actions and Argo CD Oh, almost forgot, you're also going to need servers, people, and glue. Bring lots of glue.

First post. Mostly here because of @kelseyhightower.com 😀 So far like the clean interface 👍
