This months newsletter is now out! ๐ŸŽ‰ โœจ February 2025 โœจ https://cloudnative.now/2025-february/

Crystal ball time, what's in store for #cloudnative for 2025? ๐Ÿ”ฎ Oliver's annual predictions just dropped. Will Gateway API be the next big thing? Are platform teams finally getting their moment? And why is everyone suddenly obsessed with efficiency?

Our resident pod whisperer @averagemarcus.bsky.social will spill the secrets on k8s pods at @rejekts.io. ๐Ÿ‘€

From 'pray it works' to 'sleep at night' โ€” we're pumped to learn about making K8s admission control actually reliable with @averagemarcus.bsky.social at @oslo.cloudnativeday.no.

Highly experimental operator/controller for running local clusters (kind, etc) in the hub-spoke model. A weekends fun with kubebuilder, kind, Linux and IPTables github.com/mproffitt/ku...

How are organizations *really* implementing platform engineering? Our very own Dominik Kress and Michael Luskind sharing CNCF Working Group findings on real-world strategies and evolutionary patterns ๐ŸŽฏ

When @oslo.cloudnativeday.no calls, Giant Swarm answers! @salisburyheavyindustries.com and @averagemarcus.bsky.social are incoming with the good stuff next month! ๐ŸŽฏ

Latest #GiantConversations just dropped! Tommy grills Oliver on his 2024 predictions (yes, he snuck in an easy one) and they dig into what's coming for platform engineering in 2025. Including Oliver's surprisingly logical explanation of when something is "a thing" versus a "thing thing".

TIL: Manufacturing's "pilot purgatory" isn't about immature tech. Most telling Gartner insight: successful scaling happens when teams can innovate freely across locations โ€” the rest is just plumbing.

Join us as a Technical Working Student and discover why 'it works on my machine' is just the beginning of an interesting conversation. Remote work, 32-hour workweek, and actual mentorship included.

๐Ÿ˜ I'm super happy to share that I'm going to be speaking at Cloud Native Day Oslo next month! ๐ŸŽ‰ Quite excited! Never been to Norway before! ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด Hope to see some of y'all there! cloud-native-day-oslo-2025.sessionize.com/session/798989

Perks of remote life: pajama meetings, pet cameos, and approximately 47 different ways to say goodbye.

Infrastructure costs shouldn't feel like a surprise party... Except the only surprise is the bill. And nobody's having fun. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Plot twist: What if complexity isn't the price of progress? Bare metal + K8s = Modern simplicity Sometimes less really is more.

๐Ÿ“ฃ New bot announcement! I created @conf.party that will automatically post new conference parties aded to conf.party

I make liberal use of this every month! ๐Ÿ˜

POV: Your company has a โ‚ฌ44 monthly book flat rate for any books you want.

Quick question: does this count as professional development? (Files from: that time our annual onsite went full circus mode) ๐Ÿ“ธ @glitchcrab.bsky.social

Fresh off the press: Our newest observability stickers are here! ๐Ÿš€

Important company updates from Slack. ๐Ÿ“ธ @salisburyheavyindustries.com

I want to know the opened CFP that will close soon, how to know that? ๐Ÿ’กYou can now easily show the opened CFPs in order to submit your talk before their closing in developers.events#/2025/cfp I think this will become my favorite link ๐Ÿ˜‡ #CFP #Conferences

Is your New Year's Resolution to speak at conferences? Here's a thread of several #CloudNative conferences that currently have open call for proposals that you can submit to! You got this! ๐Ÿ’ช #CloudNative #PublicSpeaking #CFP #Kubernetes

Starting 2025 with clean metrics and zero incidents... โœจ Between the new year optimism and updated dependencies, feeling ready to tackle those backlog items we've been eyeing since October. ๐Ÿ˜€

๐ŸŽ„ Kubernetes admins, may your clusters scale, your logs be clear, and your alerts stay silent this holiday season. ๐ŸŽ Hereโ€™s to a festive season with zero downtime and deployments as smooth as fresh snow. Happy holidays from all of us at Giant Swarm! ๐ŸŽ…

hola folks we did the @giantswarm.io hackathon and @notapipeline.bsky.social and i kind of built a prototype of a multi-cluster management system using @kcp.io so i thought i'd write some stuff down lfg

When your work bestie is 5 time zones away but it just works. โœจ

Joe and I waffle on together at most conferences, this time we just recorded it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

#Rejekts FOMO? Problem solved! โœจ @averagemarcus.bsky.social's talk just dropped and it was worth the wait. ๐Ÿ˜

We read the article recommended by @glitchcrab.bsky.social. ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will-... We recorded the podcast episode (even if only to be able to use this title). ๐Ÿ˜€ open.spotify.com/episode/3AJg...

The GIF is officially on tenor now so I can share the animated version!

Cloud spotting at 4,500m โ€” Giant Swarm style. โ˜๏ธ

Reason #77 why I love working at @giantswarm.io - I can just take a random Tuesday morning off to brush up on my skills. Someone remind me what a holiday allowance is again?
