the managed kubernetes c-c-c-combo breaker issue
Welcome to an extra special birth of a nation issue of kubelist. This week, we celebrate American Independence Day, and Canada Day.

In this modernization of Waiting for Godot, Vladamir (played by Abraham Ingersoll) and Estragon (played by Kevin Nisbet) discuss a variety of subjects while they wait for the release G.O.D.O.T., a system to automatically run safe in-place upgrades of Kubernetes clusters. The acronym is never explained. Performances are running now at the Gravitational Blog theatre.
