L8ist Sh9y Podcast · Chris Short from Red Hat talks Operators and Kubernetes On May 2nd, I joined my friends over at L8ist Sh9y Podcast as Rob Zehicle was trying to wrap his mind around Kubernetes Operators. I’ve created the transcript so folks can read it if they desire. Rob Zehicle: Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of the Latest Shiny. This is Rob Zehicle.

Things no one tells you when you start a newsletter

There were a lot of reasons I started writing a newsletter back in 2016.

DevOpsDays Raleigh 2019 Trip Report

Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat, my views and opinions are solely mine though. I had the pleasure of speaking at and attending DevOpsDays Raleigh 2019. First off, this event routinely out punches its weight class as far as quality.

Note: If you are not familiar with DevOpsDays, please consider attending one near you in the next year....
