This week's blog post, which is a recap of my SRECon talk from last week, is now available for paid subscribers only, and will be available for free to the general public next Monday! Check it out if you want. blog.appliedcomputing.io/p/stop-readi... #kubernetes #srecon #simkube

Ok that's over. Lots of great questions and interaction! My slides and other materials are up on GitHub if you want to know more :) github.com/acrlabs/srec... #srecon

My talk at SRECon is in two hours! Come check it out and learn how simulation can help you with your Kubernetes upgrades! #srecon #kubernetes

SRECon first impressions: it is wet. Why is it wet. In Seattle??? In March????? Anyways, as normal I'm going to liveblog along on Mastodon, follow along if you want! hachyderm.io/@drmorr #srecon

SRECon first impressions: it is wet. Why is it wet. In Seattle??? In March????? Anyways, as normal I'm going to liveblob along on Mastodon (sorry not sorry, I tried the "liveblog on two platforms at once" thing and it's too hard), follow along if you want! hachyderm.io/@drmorr #srecon

I know all the cool kids are at KubeCon EU this week, but _this_ cool kid is gonna be at SRECon in Seattle! I'm giving a talk: "Stop Reading Changelogs: Safer Kubernetes Upgrades with Simulation" on Wednesday at 11:55-12:40. Come find me and say hi! Would love to chat. #srecon

Do you want to read a 4,000-word architecture diagram detailing everything you need to run a single Kubernetes pod? Sure you do! blog.appliedcomputing.io/p/everything... #kubernetes #k8s

The OOM metrics situation is genuinely frustrating. Half the time you're debugging memory issues with metrics that don't tell the actual story.

In today's blog post I a) recap my epic rant about OOM metrics from last week, and b) complain about other weird things I learned about Kubernetes recently. blog.appliedcomputing.io/p/three-subt... #kubernetes #k8s #devops

In today's blog post, I complain about version control systems. blog.appliedcomputing.io/p/frustratio... #git #jj #software

A Quick Update about the Blog, aka, wouldn't you like to pay money to read more about SimKube? 😂 blog.appliedcomputing.io/p/quick-upda...

I would love to get more paid subscribers to my blog. As I've said before, the income from my blog isn't how I make a living---but it does help in for sending me to conferences, and conferences are my best source for new leads and sales opportunities. blog.appliedcomputing.io/subscribe

Very excited that I'll be speaking at SRECon in Seattle this year! My talk title is "Stop Reading Changelogs: Safer Kubernetes Upgrades with Simulation" (naturally), and I'm speaking on Wednesday March 25 at 11:55. See the full program here! www.usenix.org/conference/s...

I almost think I hate Monday meetings more than Friday meetings, tbh.

Just typo'ed `Dorkerfile` and I'm pretty sure that is actually correct

OK it's friday, time for the ultimate bikeshedding, aka, fixing my Makefiles. Basically a task you can spend ENDLESS amounts of time on and still not be done.

ACRL's first public postmortem is now available for free subscribers :P Learn more about how a race condition between cert-manager, the SimKube controller, and a mutating webhook configuration took down our (currently unavailable to the public) CI runner! blog.appliedcomputing.io/p/postmortem...

cargo clippy is one of the best linting tools I've ever worked with. "It looks like you're trying to write a Rust program, and you fucking suck at it. Try doing it this way instead!"

Who's excited for ACRL's first public postmortem next Monday? (Or tomorrow if you're a premium subscriber :P)

hi my name is david i'm doing cursèd shit with rust AMA

Holy moly cross-compiling with qemu is slow as molasses! ACRL gonna need some ARM runners.

My KubeCon recap blog post just went live! And you can see the highlights reel video from our "fit in the kube" challenge! blog.appliedcomputing.io/p/kubecon-re... #kubernetes #kubecon

This week has been recursive rabbit hole week. I'm so far down these rabbit holes even the rabbits are wondering where I've gone.

Welp, it finally happened. ACRL is now the proud (?????) owner of two (2) AWS accounts.

These are not serious people.

How my morning is going: - I want to stop shuffling static IAM credentials everywhere, that seems bad - Oh hey, AWS has IAM Roles Anywhere based on PKI - I need to set up a private CA, that's reasonable - HOLY FUCK IT COSTS $400/MONTH TO RUN A PRIVATE CA ON AWS? - Ok I wonder how I create my own CA

In case you were wondering what I was up to at KubeCon, it was incredibly important content marketing. youtube.com/shorts/ZDlQz... Looking forward to seeing you all next year for "Can U Fit In The Kube 2"!!!! #kubecon #kubernetes #funny #simkube #k8s #fitinthekube

And that's all, folks! See you next year, back in SLC! #kubernetes #kubecon

Last talk of the conference (for me): "Evolving Kubernetes Scheduling" by Eric Tune & Wojciech Tyczyński at Google. #kubernetes #kubecon #scheduling

Alright, next up is "Evicted! All the Ways Kubernetes Kills Your Pods (and How To Avoid Them)" by Ahmet Alp Balkan (of kubectx/kubens fame). This talk is 🔥 #kubecon #kubernetes

ACRL was a sponsor for the Dan Kohn travel scholarship for underrepresented or marginalized groups at KubeCon this year -- I'm heading over to chat with some of the scholarship recipients! #kubecon #kubernetes

Major props to the two CNCF folks who were high-fiving every single attendee as they walked in this morning! #kubecon

If you see me at #kubecon I have a stack of Nova stickers if you want a few.

For today of you who are curious about how many people fit in the kube, enjoy this linkedin screenshot #kubecon #kubernetes

I'm at "From Panic To Peace: Making K8s Controller Observability Suck Less" by Cat Morris & Derik Evangelista, Syntassa Lots of great tips for writing Kubernetes controllers/operators. #kubernetes #kubecon

Come take the ACRL-sponsored "CAN U FIT IN THE KUBE" challenge at KubeCon! Look for the sign in the vendor hall. #kubecon #kubernetes

Next up is "I’ve Got 99 Problems and They’re All Controllers" by Tim Goodwin from UCSC!!! I had the distinct pleasure to present with Tim at KubeCon last year, I'm excited to see that he's continuing the trend.

I'm at "Zero Downtime Migration of Monolith To K8s Using Sidecar and Container Lifecycle Hooks" by Deepak Kosaraju & James Dabbs, Procore"

“Azure is the most cost-effective cloud, because you’re running in someone else’s account” - Corey Quinn

BTW I have Mr. Squidler stickers! Come find me if you want one. How could you say no to this lil' guy 😍 #kubecon #kubernetes

Ok I'm going to my first actual talk at KubeCon proper: "Slurm Bridge: Slurm Scheduling Superpowers in Kubernetes" by Alan Mutschelknaus & Tim Wickberg, SchedMD

Dear #cncf maybe think about a different plan for next time. .... Or, tomorrow.

Once I get inside I'm never leaving holy fuck #kubecon

Holy hell the line to get through security screening is....... 😱😱😱🫠🫠🫠 #kubecon

Does anybody know what's up with the security measures at kubecon this year? I'm not objecting by any means, but they seem significantly more aggressive than in the past.

Happy KubeCon week! Looking forward to meeting a bunch of you here. Come talk to me about SimKube! #kubernetes #kubecon

And that's a wrap for rejekts! Everyone gave some fantastic talks and I really enjoyed speed-running simkube in the lightning talks session! Now I get a little bit of a break before the big conference starts. #kubernetes #kubecon #Rejekts

who decided they should be called rust evangelists and not the cargo cult

Well my voice was PRREETTTYYYY rough on that one, but I made it through!

This is happening in less than one (1) hour! Check it out on the livestream if you want. #kubernetes #kubecon #rejekts
