One of the things I love about macos is how simple and accessible it is to change basic settings of inbuilt functionality.... really sets itself apart from a No GUI Linux installation.

New blog: 🚀 KubeVirt for vSphere Admins How to map your VMware knowledge to Kubernetes-native virtualization: storage, networking, live migration, GitOps VM management, and more. 📖 Full deep-dive: veducate.co.uk/kubevirt-for... #KubeVirt #Kubernetes #VMware #Virtualization #GitOps

A long time ago I was working with a #Kubernetes CSI a lot and met head on with Kubernetes finalizers. I wrote a little to understand and overcome those issues. Now I've spent some more time understanding them, and wrote a better deep dive. veducate.co.uk/kubernetes-f...

Two days on the bounce where I've wrote and published something new? Say whatttt? veducate.co.uk k8s nodeSelector vs nodeAffinity Highlight Kubernetes Labels in your Terminal with AWK

🎥 If you weren't at KubeCon you might not have seen me doing my best impression of a news reporter delivering the @cilium.io project updates. So much fun making this with @carlagg.bsky.social and James Spurin! youtu.be/thCrfsVJz4g

truth. ha!

📚 If you’d like a copy of my short book “What is #eBPF?” we are giving them away at the @isovalent.bsky.social booth in not just one, but TWO book signings today at #kubecon. Come say hello at 1pm or 6:15pm 👋✍️

Today I'm brewing something up with an exploit POC and using Tetragon with @cilium.io to detect and protect against it!

Want to write #eBPF programs for Windows? Check out @cilium.io’s ebpf-go library ebpf-go.dev/contributing...

Last update for the day.... Another new blog post from me, why Kube-Proxy is probably holding your platform back. isovalent.com/blog/post/re... #Kubernetes #Cilium #ebpf #KubeCon #KubeConEU #CloudNative #Networking

I think this deserves a monday reshare especially for #KubeCon week! Or is the official tag #KubeConEU? Anyway another top quality deep dive guide on @cilium.io

Are you at #KubeCon this week? The @isovalent.bsky.social team have you covered for awesome @cilium.io swag! 🥳 My favourites are the book signings, where you can pick up the "#Kubernetes Network Policies Done Right" book signed by my co-author! 📖 🖱️ Details Here > isovalent.com/events/2025-...

Actually it's two if we include the bbq one too!

It's true.... I read somewhere if you can't be arsed to do it, just do 5 minutes. Most of the time because you gave the start of 5 minutes, you'll continue further.

Complex overlay and underlay networking... yep no problem can smash through that. Add some updates to a YAML file and get the formatting right first time, second time, tenth time. Not a chance!

Imagine all the things you loved about VMware, but in #eBPF....

For the platform team that wants security without having to airgap their environment: - Network Policy fundamentals - Identity-based security approaches - Best practices for least privilege access - Policy creation, management, and auditing - Monitoring with dashboards https://buff.ly/4jrxofY

@ticketmaster.com introducing whack-a-mole to select seats to purchase on an interactive map has now become one of the worst UI design's imaginable, on mobile and desktop. They really are one of the worst brands out there!

Not everyone has come across to BS from my old life on the bird app. For those of you straddling both platforms, why?

#KubeCon session acceptances are out - I believe it's another record breaking CFP period in terms of numbers who applied, which means more than ever people will be finding out they weren't successful! Just remember, those sessions are still fantastic for other meetups and events! Get Applying!

Cilium... it really is everywhere.....

👀 I feel like there's a generational shift in terms of the power of vendors changing, techies' interests changing, and the communities they want to build or be part of. The day of the constant blogger superstar is over. 🚨

Best use of AI? Giving it your employment history and info about the stuff you've been involved in, and have it write a bio for you to use on publications etc Make's me 🤮 😂😂😂

Friendly reminder, API keys expire, and the software doesn't always error saying as such when you are trying to create things :D Well, that's a hard day's work done.

Today's fun: destroy my OpenShift cluster that's been running for a while, recreate it on the latest versions of OCP and Cilium, and hope for the best :D In Equinix, of all places, who unfortunately are ending their metal services soon.

Starting off 2025 by writing a page to be hosted by GitHub pages rather than the usual hosting suspects! Fun fun fun!

Argh, it seems like the bots and spam have started to hit here already 🙃

I predict that Cilium will start to move beyond being the defacto networking stack for cloud native, and start to become the defacto building block for the datacenter networking and security.

I guess maybe I should start to consider posting on here. Anyone find their Social Media usage dropped off a cliff on the other platform, and now it's hard to get started again?
