Learning about the history of CEL in Kubernetes.

Did you know it was first introduced 10 releases ago!? 🤯

We are fans of CEL in Kubernetes mainly thanks to them making Validating and MutatingAdmissionPolicies possible to avoid those risky webhooks in our clusters!

Kubernetes apparently made it into an NCIS episode - DURING KubeCon. I guess theres any clear indicator that K8s has hit peek adoption, its that it gets used as techno-jargon to explain things in TV 🤣

Thanks @thisisnotapril.bsky.social for the find.

If you could make everyone understand one truth, what would it be?

I'll go first:

Very few things in life are zero sum. We are all better off if we find ways for everyone to win instead of thinking that for us to win someone has to lose.

YET another bluesky list of k8s folks, this time it's those who directly work in (and members of) various community github orgs.

If you are one, add a bluesky url in your github profile and poke me to re-run my script.
