CF Summit dates have been announced… looking forward to seeing you all July 21-22! The Call for Proposals is now open.
Read all about it here!
From the Last Few Weeks:
- Watch the February CAB call video here, and/or, read the recap blog post from Altoros. This month, the call featured a presentation from Guillaume Berche from Orange on osm-cmdb. For more on this, please see Guillaume’s post on cf-dev.
- Troy Topnik has moved on from SUSE, and his roles as our CAB call host and Extensions PMC lead. He’s been an upstanding pillar of the community, and upstanding pillars are the very best kind. Many thanks, Troy.
- Would you like to nominate someone to lead the CAB call going forward? Please do, either in the cf-dev post or the #cab Slack channel.
- Given the upcoming changes to Cloud Foundry’s overall technical governance structure, we won’t be filling the Extensions PMC lead role, but in the interim I’ll be available for any Extensions-related community business, and taking care of any housekeeping efforts that are required. Please reach out in the #cf-extensions Slack channel if you need anything.
- Sophie Wigmore explains why Building a Cloud Native Buildpack Isn’t as Hard as You Think on the Paketo blog.
- Ram Iyengar writes about Achieving Production Parity and Local Development Workflows on Cloud Foundry with Kubernetes on The NewStack.
- Last week, we had a terrific Hands-on Lab from James Hunt of Stark & Wayne on cf-protect, and you can now watch the video here, at your leisure.
- Likewise, you can now watch the video of Ram & Shedrack’s livestream from last week, on CI/CD pipelines in Github and GitLab, here.
- Here’s an interesting thread concerning Kubernetes complexity on Hacker News.
