KubeCon EU is one week away!
Can you feel the excitement in the air?
Even if you are not attending, there's still a reason to cheer: most companies are waiting for next week to announce products and new features (it does feel like a grown-up's Xmas).
Also, Learnk8s is running the iconic Advanced Kubernetes workshop in 2 weeks.
If you fancy levelling up your Kubernetes expertise, join us for four days packed with labs!
(we also offer corporate training, if that's your thing)
Without further ado, here are the articles from this week:
