Anything to make Kubernetes easier sounds promising. With the catchy tag line, it sounds like running through pastures of green grass singing it's a beautiful life. But...I ask myself. What is the difference between K0s and K3s besides the "3"? They are both super lightweight, single binary, and with everything you need baked in. I still need to test them side by side to compare, but the race to the smallest and fastest Kubernetest distribution seems to be trending at the moment.
I look forward to this report every year as it provides a fascinating glimpse into the container ecosystem and adoption. The 2020 Datadog report didn't disappoint. For example, we are underutilizing Kubernetes resources, and it's not surprising that Service Mesh is still at the early adoption stage. Give it a read!
I stumbled across this gem of a project this week. Do you have multiple profiles on GitHub for different projects you are working on? With the Git User Switch tool, now it is super simple to switch Git user, email, and signing key all in one swoop. Cool stuff!
Corey Quinn, the Cloud Economist best known for adding snark to anything cloud-related, wrote the following blog post. It is an inside look at how AWS regions are developed and all the planning required to create new regions.
Singles Day is not a day for all the single people but rather a celebration of November 11, or better known as 11.11, Singles Day, or Double 11. It is one of the largest online shopping days of the year for Alibaba and is on par with Black Friday madness. However, what is incredible is that Alibaba typically doesn't share much information about what's happening, so seeing these numbers is fascinating. Alibaba processed 583,000 online orders per second on Singles Day. What is more impressive that is they decreased the cost per 10'000 transactions by 80% from four years ago. Impressive.
