For all new followers, it seems you followed me as a part of some sort a #cncf list. I don’t know why they still put me there. I thought I did my part as a #DEI back then and it’s over now, right? For more details, check this blog.

The hate toward Muslims these past weeks has been overwhelming. I try to keep living and moving, but it does ache. Being dehumanized publicly is not something you just “ignore”.

When you look at the face of my friend Lina, you feel like you’re seeing Palestine.
When you talk to her, it feels like you’re talking to Gaza, with all its strength, beauty, and pain. (1/2)

Most people think the Kubernetes scheduler makes scheduling decisions itself. Well, it doesn’t.

The real power lies elsewhere.

🧵 Let’s talk about how the kube-scheduler is actually a plugin-first orchestration engine, not a decision-maker.

If you could declare SLA for a workload and have the scheduler honor it, what would you need?

Draft KEP for SLA-aware scheduling is up. Would value your input: github.com/kubernetes/e...

Excited to share that I’ve joined #Microsoft ’s #Azure Cloud Native Upstream team and will be working 100% on #Kubernetes, #OSS, and #CloudNative!

Looking forward to contributing upstream full‑time, collaborating with this amazing community, and helping push Kubernetes forward ... all in the open.

#Kubernetes community, SIG-apps is working on adding new metrics to the StatefulSet controller upstream. Are there specific metrics you’ve felt were missing that would help in debugging or operating StatefulSets in production?

Today in our English session with Palestinians from Gaza - some still trapped under siege, others recently displaced - we were asked:
“Where do you see yourself in 5 years? What obstacles stand in your way?”
I still haven’t recovered from the answers. 💔

I’m donating to @RepThomasMassie and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social . Why? Because I’ll back anyone, anywhere who puts principle before profit, who puts country over lobby money. I’ll stand with anyone who stands for justice and I’d do anything to put my country first.

What a wild time to be alive!
