After my "Kubernetes in the meterkast" at @devworldconference.bsky.social, I was invited to the Dutch Kubernetes Podcast by Jan and Ronald. As the podcast is officially called "De Nederlandse Kubernetes Podcast", it's in Dutch (Nederlands): www.k8spodcast.nl/afleveringen...

@evertkwok.bsky.social was signing his cartoon books on "Strips op de Markt" in Gouda. I got my yearly greetings (Banana for size):

@van9tot5.bsky.social was signing his cartoon books on "Strips op de Markt" in Gouda. Got my yearly Supercomputing/HPC quote in part 3: (translates to "To Alain, Supercomputing?, should be OK, as long as you keep reading van9to5) #HPC #Supercomputing #cartoon

What if you no longer have to install a broad range of scientific software from scratch on every laptop, #HPC cluster, or cloud instance you use or maintain, without compromising on performance? Join the #EESSI webinar series for more info! ➡️ www.multixscale.eu/2025/04/30/e... @eessi.bsky.social

After Fundamentals it was time for Practitioner in Sim Ops @simopscom.bsky.social

Whoepie Whoepie. Now running Version 1.32.1 of K8s on the "Meterkast" Cluster. Updated using YOLO-Ops. K8s From scratch, the hard way.

On 3 Feb I'll be presenting my experiences running a #K8s cluster "in de meterkast" at of the tenth edition of #cfgmgmtcamp. This is not the first time i'm doing this talk, so my feelings about presenting changed from "Can I do this?" to "Can I still do this?". cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2025/

I didn't know I was taking part in a raffle when I did the SimOps certification, imagine my surprise when I found out I was a winner. And if you didn't do the HPC certification yet, I can recommend it as it is a good Introduction to HPC.

Looking into @nextflow.io for our Slurm cluster. Using easybuild.io of course to build/install it. Why change from nextflow-<VERSION>-all to nextflow-<VERSION>-dist for the name of the package/java-binary without any changelog? #HPC #HPCSoftware #ReproducableInstalls #easybuild

Huge props to the EESSI team for winning a Reader's Choice Award. We're glad to be able to support projects like these, because this is where great software, and great ideas are born. Anything that makes it easier (well, EESSI'er) to get your hands on what you need - well, we're fans.
