Became a Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist

Renewed my Kubernetes Administrator certification for 3 more years

Added a Helm chapter to our Kubernetes training

My colleague and I worked on an Application Deployment chapter in our Kubernetes training to add Helm. We focused quite a bit on Go templating syntax.

Cloud Native Romandie Meetup (Virtual) 17.06.2021

We had another Cloud Native Meetup yesterday evening, once again virtual with a live stream on YouTube.

There were talks on Keptn and Cloud Native Patterns and Anti-Patterns.

I didn't have a talk this time, only focused on technical stuff such as recording 😁

DevOps Workshop

I've been preparing a DevOps Workshop for a client, to be given next week. It's hard to cover this subject in a neutral manner.

Since it's a workshop and not a training, I'm mainly keeping a list of subjects to work on, and we might switch between them during the sessions.

So far, I'm covering:

• History (JustInTime/Lean/Agile/DevOps Days)
• Problems (Silos, Interfaes, Collaboration, Three Ways of DevOps, Cultural Impact)
• Concepts (Iac, Idempotency/Declarative, Immutability, Divergence/Convergence/Congruence, Human vs Automation, Decoupling, Tech Debt, Continuous Improvement, Sysadmin vs Platform Engineer, End-to-end Responsibility)
• Tools (VCS, Cloud, IaC, CI/CD, Containers, Observability, etc.)

Wrote a Containers/Kubernetes course

Over the last 5 years with a colleague, I have been co-creating and co-maintaining a Containers/Kubernetes course, which now spans 5 days.

This course uses the DevOps Stack (https://devops-stack.io) as a base to deploy the underlying Kubernetes platform on AWS EKS.

The Developer version of the course uses a sample app with 3 versions of the backend (in Java, Python, and Go), which students get to improve/instrument as they adapt it to deploy it as containers.
