Kubernetes, you want to know what’s cool about you?

Well, there’s lots. But one thing is the number of people who use you programmatically by writing code and using code. Whether it’s operators or tooling, you’ve really captured our developer hearts.

Run Terraform under Kubernetes using an Operator (CRD)

Want to use Kubernetes to run terraform? How exciting is that? Very!

Does anyone actually build a Kubernetes cluster from scratch?

There are many ways to build a Kubernetes cluster. Read this great thread to find out how people have done it from scratch.

OperatorHub

Super excited about this registry. Their “capability level” categories are a compelling way to think about operators. If you’re not into operators yet checkout their overview: https://www.operatorhub.io/what-is-an-operator

Krontab

A cron-like interface for Kubernetes jobs. Krontab works by constructing a virtual crontab file from your CronJob resources and communicating changes back to the Kubernetes API. This is going to be fun.

Ocular

Cool little python pod status lib for observing Kubernetes pods’ statuses in real-time. Get your pod status piping hot.

Tweet of the Week

YES! YES! YES! More operators in more languages!
