Hi! Hope you’re all keeping warm out there.
We have a rather excellent hands-on lab regarding data protection coming up next Tuesday, February 23, from James Hunt of Stark & Wayne. This is highly recommended!
Also, we have a very interesting live stream on CI/CD pipelines in both GitHub and GitLab from Ram & Shedrack on February 26.
From the Last Few Weeks:
- Here is a thorough and generally excellent article on Paketo Buildpacks from former Pivot and Cloud Foundry veteran Genevieve L’Esperance (now at Doximity), which spawned a lengthy and mostly interesting discussion on Hacker News.
- Chip Childers wrote a blog post showing how CF helps developers overcome K8s challenges.
- Ram Iyengar wrote a Medium piece on automating cf-for-k8s deployments using the GitHub Container Registry and GitHub Actions. This is relevant to the upcoming live stream mentioned above (and below), so, if you’re interested, maybe check out that live stream. Have I mentioned there is an interesting live stream happening on February 26?
