Christian. Istio at @microsoft. Avid Grizzlies fan. Opinions my own
I’m going to sound like a grumpy maintainer here but everyone saying ingress-nginx is simpler than Gateway API is, in my opinion, wrong

The legacy of crypto isn’t a technology revolution but instead that it created a culture where get rich quick mentality, grifting and Ponzi schemes were a virtue. Then made these people rich enough that they could influence elections.

That and being the financial instrument for ransomware payments

If you need a service mesh, you’re past the point of “simple Kubernetes”
“Simplify Kubernetes with Service Mesh”

This is a real title friends

Why are Trump supporters not wanted ? You dont have to follow them. You can block them. You can filter words. Don’t you want @bsky.app to have all perspectives ? I certainly do.

As long as it’s civil. Why not welcome different viewpoints ?
I don't understand Trump supporters. Why come where you are not wanted. It's odd. Witness me syndrome in the worst way.

I'll be speaking this week in the coveted Friday afternoon time slot. Come by if you want to learn about simulating Kubernetes for testing! I am confident you will learn something new, but no promises it will be useful 🙂.

Excited to be heading to #KubeCon today! Come find me to talk about anything related to service mesh or cloud native networking!
November 10, 2024 at 5:31 PM
It’s been a privilege working on Istio’s ambient mesh; we’re so excited for it to be generally available! I truly think it’s a game changer for networking and security, but don’t take my word for it! Give it a try and let us know what you think!!
Istio 1.24 is out today, and it's kind of a big deal.

I created a starter pack for Cloud Native projects. While we're all mostly here to follow people, I'd like to encourage all the @cncf.bsky.social projects (and related) to set up BSky accounts. Let me know any I'm missing and I'll add them to the starter pack!

Hyperlight is transformative technology for secure function execution. It's blazing fast and truly impressive engineering. Congrats to the team for a successful launch!

Kubernetes is on Bluesky, @istio.io is on bluesky, @cilium.bsky.social, etc. are there others!? Feeling tempted to put together a CNCF Project starter pack if someone hasn’t already
Kubernetes is now on BlueSky! Tune in here for news about the project, straight from the contributor community!

Do I know any security folks on here who can explain how this can happen?? Like not even trying to assign blame; I’m truly puzzled how this could be

Man it feels like people are actually having engaging technical discussions on here….hasn’t felt like that on Twitter in a while

We’ve been thinking a lot about how to make Istio (and Ambient specifically) more intuitive. This is a good reminder
