Detroit, known by its nickname “Motor City'', is a bustling and beautiful city filled with dazzling architecture, food, history, and of course, people.This year, it was home to KubeCon 2022. The city is close to home for Jake and I, 45 minutes from where we started Cycle; it was wonderful seeing how the city has grown the last few years. The art deco style buildings loomed overhead, and the smell of freshly cooked food wafted through the downtown area just outside the venue.

An avid bird-watcher once told me that for bird-watching beginners, it’s more important to focus on learning about the birds and identifying their unique songs rather than trying to find the perfect pair of binoculars.

Here at LogicMonitor, we like to experiment and try new things. In fact, one of our core tenets is “better every day”. This means that we’re always hungry to learn new things, experiment, innovate, and take chances. One thing we’ve been experimenting with lately (and loving!) is the Quarkus framework. We love how lightweight it is and that it’s built from the ground up with Kubernetes in mind.

It’s a fact of life: as the Kubernetes API evolves, it’s periodically reorganized or upgraded. This means some Kubernetes resources can be deprecated and later removed. We deserve to keep track of those deprecations and removals easily. For that, we have just released the new deprecated-api-versions policy for Kubewarden, our efficient Kubernetes policy engine that runs policies compiled to Wasm.

KubeCon is the major cloud-native gathering of thousands of people from around the globe. The event is attended by many emerging startups and companies working on revolutionary products around Kubernetes, security, containers, and DevOps. It is a great opportunity to share insights and collaborate on various community projects.

Qovery provides fast implementation and maintenance of your cloud infrastructure while taking care of end-to-end DevOps tasks. It even manages your Kubernetes clusters for you. It gives developers autonomy because it is effortless and does not need a vast DevOps workforce. With a few clicks, a developer can create a replica of the production environment and deploy their code easily, but where should you start, and with what?

In technology, nothing is static. We need to be open to experimenting with new platforms and avoid getting locked into any one single entity or technological solution. With all the recent events, many people are looking for alternatives where they can post microblogging content like they did on Twitter. Mastodon has recently become significantly more popular due to its decentralised nature and the power of enabling different communities to define themselves.
