A new alpha feature in Kubernetes 1.18, API Priority and Fairness permits cluster administrators to divide the concurrency of the control plane into different weighted priority levels. Learn more about what this problem solves and how to try it out from the recent blog post.

As a deployment tool, Argo CD needs to have production access which makes security a very important topic. The Argoproj team takes security very seriously and continuously working on improving it.  Dive into the latest security audit here.

Setting the Record Straight: containers vs. Zones vs. Jails vs. VMs

Jaeger, with Yuri Shkuro

Hosts: Craig Box, Adam Glick

Jaeger is a distributed tracing platform built at Uber, and open-sourced in 2016. It traces its evolution from a Google paper on distributed tracing, the OpenZipkin project, and the OpenTracing libraries. Yuri Shkuro, creator of Jaeger and author of Mastering Distributed Tracing, joins Craig and Adam to tell the story, and explain the hows and whys of distributed tracing.

Introducing Krustlet, the WebAssembly Kubelet

Krustlet is designed to run as a Kubernetes Kubelet. It’s similar in design to Virtual Kubelet. It listens on the Kubernetes API event stream for new pods. Based on specific Kubernetes tolerations, the Kubernetes API will schedule pods onto Krustlet, which in turn runs them under a WASI-based runtime (more specifically, either wasmtime or waSCC, depending on which Runtime Provider they choose).

Extending Kubernetes with Operators

Having attended the last two European KubeCon events (2018 and 2019), it’s become increasingly obvious that operators are becoming a hot topic within the community.
There were zero sessions on operators in 2018, whereas there were 9 in 2019. There’s even a dedicated OperatorCon hosted by Loodse at this year’s (unfortunately postponed) KubeCon!
I also had the pleasure of attending the Operator Framework Workshop session delivered by Red Hat. This was an excellent session which covered the basics of Operators and how to create them using the Operator Framework.
