| 05 Apr 2024 | Portainer for Kubernetes, Docker, Swarm, Edge, and IoT | 00:49:56 | |
Bret is joined by Neil Cresswell, CEO and co-founder of Portainer, to show us new features in Portainer and how it can manage, deploy, and orchestrate all your container workloads from a single Docker Engine, all the way to multi-cluster and IoT Kubernetes deployments. Portainer is much more comprehensive than you might think. Docker on the Edge, Podman, Kubernetes, in the cloud, in hybrid, you name it; it seems that Portainer supports it. In the show, we also get some updates on new things that have happened in the last couple of years, including adding GitOps support to Portainer, the ability to deploy Kubernetes nodes, and infrastructure. Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show with demos from February 29, 2024 on YouTube (Ep. 256). ★Topics★ Creators & Guests

| 06 Oct 2023 | Ephemeral & Preview Environments for Compose and Kubernetes | 00:43:01 | |
Bret and Nirmal are joined by Grayson Adkins and Josh Thurman on the show. They are co-founders of Uffizzi, an environments-as-a-service company for Docker Compose and Kubernetes. We talk about ephemeral environments in all their forms. You might call them preview environments, developer environments, or pull release environments, which is my favorite way to use these environments-as-a-service. But regardless of the many ways to use ephemeral environments, it's great to see a growing set of tools in the cloud native community for automating the spinning up of fresh environments with Kubernetes manifests, helm charts, or even Docker Compose YAML. Uffizzi is using the open core model, meaning that the core part of their product is open source. Live recording of the complete show from August 24, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #231).

| 14 Jul 2023 | Cycle.io LowOps container platform | 00:50:00 | |
Bret and Matt welcome Jake Warner back to the show to talk about LowOps. What does LowOps mean? What can Cycle offer us as an alternative to Swarm and Kubernetes? Jake Warner is the CEO and founder of Cycle.io. And I had him on the show a few years ago when I first heard about Cycle and I wanted to get an update on their platform offering. On this show we generally talk about Docker and Kubernetes but I'm also interested in any container tooling that can help us deploy and manage container based applications. Cycles' platform is an alternative container orchestrator as a service. In fact, they go beyond what you would provide normally with a container orchestrator and they provide OS updates, networking, the container runtime, and the orchestrator all in a single offering as a way to reduce the complexity that we're typically faced with when we're deploying Kubernetes. While I'm a fan of Docker swarm due to its simplicity, it still requires you to manage the OS underneath, to configure networking sometimes, and the feature releases have slowed down in recent years. But I still have a soft spot for those solutions that are removing the grunt work of OS and update management and helping smaller teams get more work done. I think Cycle has the potential to do that for a lot of teams that aren't all in on the Kubernetes way, but still value the container abstraction as the way to deploy software to servers.

| 15 Jul 2022 | Argo CD Past & Future, with the Creators | 01:12:29 | |
Bret is joined by the co-creators of the Argo project and co-founders of Akuity - Hong Wang and Jesse Suen - to discuss the state of Argo and their new Akuity offering for Argo CD in the Cloud. Chances are, you've heard of one or more of the Argo projects. They include Argo Workflows, Argo CD, Argo Events, and Argo roll-outs. Argo is one of those Kubernetes projects that is so common for teams to choose that it's nearly an assumption that every team is using one of their tools in a cluster or two. Hong Wang and Jessie Suen helped co-create the Argo project years back at Intuit and have now co-founded a growing startup called Akuity. The company is focusing on making the Argo products better and creating SaaS offerings for the Argo tools. In this episode, we get a perspective on where the Argo tools came from and what the team behind it is doing. Streamed live on YouTube on May 26, 2022.

| 10 Nov 2023 | Multipass Local Virtual Machines | 00:31:44 | |
Bret and Nirmal are joined by Chris Townsend, the engineering manager for Canonical's Multipass team, to discuss how to use Multipass as the easiest local virtual machine for Docker, Kubernetes and more! Multipass is my go-to solution for quickly creating local virtual machines of Ubuntu. I teach it in my courses, I've used it for many years, and I was excited to have Chris on to talk about the ways to automate the creation of a VM in Multipass, and dig into the various virtualization, backends and networking options. We also talk about Multipass blueprints where in a demo, he shows off how to create a VM with Docker installed in a single command. It actually reminds me of Docker Machine, if you've been around a while. That also mounts your code directly into the VM and sets a host alias so that the Docker commands will pass through to Docker in the VM transparently. If you can imagine that it basically means that you can run Docker in the VM and use it from the host as if it isn't in a VM. And then we had some great audience questions about various features of Multipass and how to use it for multi-node clustering and exposing VMs to your local network.

| 13 Feb 2020 | Serverless Docker and Kubernetes in 2020 | 00:15:10 | |
I answer some audience questions about serverless, and the future of containers... when a lot of the news out there is talking about functions as a service as "the future of everything". As usual, the answer is "it depends", but if you're a team that's already doing microservices and containers, and you're looking to deploy smaller features faster and cheaper, then serverless might help. For most of us though, writing and shipping functions only, rather than traditional applications, is years away, because we have bigger problems to solve first, like speeding up our deployment processes or improving our monitoring and recovery.

| 22 Mar 2024 | Open Source Codespaces with Daytona | 00:47:57 | |
Bret and Nirmal are joined by Ivan Burazin and Chad Metcalf to debut Daytona, an open source "codespaces equivalent." Daytona is a development environment manager designed to automate all the tedious steps a developer needs to perform to set up their development environment. "Essentially, it transforms any machine into a codespaces equivalent." Where Daytona is actually starting in the enterprise is focusing on large dev environment solutions and management of those, and then trickling down to individual developers. So there are two very similar solutions to a problem of many developers and their varying ways that they set up their environments for development, but they're coming at it from two ends of the spectrum.

| 19 Apr 2024 | AWS Finch: The Minimal Local Container Solution | 00:49:19 | |
Bret and Nirmal are joined by Phil Estes of AWS to show us the Finch project, which bundles the best open source tools for building and running containers locally. Now it runs on macOS and Windows WSL2. We've been talking with Phil about this show for months, and now that Finch has come to Windows, we thought it was the best time to clue you in as to why AWS created the Finch project and what it does. You've probably heard of containerd, the most popular container runtime on the planet and BuildKit, the best way, in my opinion, to build container images. Those two work hand in hand in Docker and many other container tools. But you might not have heard of nerdctl or Lima, which are also open source tools that work with containerd and BuildKit to help you run containers locally in a virtual machine. Well, AWS had the idea of making an easy installer for these four tools. That's how Finch was born. Finch is not meant to be a replacement of your existing way to run containers. The tools it installs are a bit of a minimum feature set, if you will, and more focused on providing people the exact tools AWS uses in its container platforms, mainly containerd and BuildKit, which are everywhere in AWS. Rather than building something that's feature equivalent to other local container solutions like Docker Desktop and Rancher Desktop, Finch keeps it simple and does the bare minimum. If you just want an easily installable and minimal way to build and run local containers at the command line with no goofy, high-end fancy features, pure open source and just on Mac and Windows, at least at this point, you should give Finch a try.

| 20 Jan 2023 | Trivy and Tracee, Aqua Security Tools | 00:40:08 | |
Bret is joined by Anaïs Urlichs of Aqua Security to talk container and Kubernetes security tools like trivy, kube-bench, tracee, and kube-hunter. I've been using trivy for over four years to scan for known vulnerabilities in my own container images and my clients. We also look at tracee, a new tool that is part of a new generation of tools that use the Linux kernel eBPF feature to investigate what's happening in real time on your servers. Anaïs is great as an explainer of Kubernetes and all cloud native things, and she's the creator of the 100 days of Kubernetes tutorials on her YouTube channel where she breaks down various cloud native topics for beginners. Based on what I've learned in this show from Anaïs, I plan to change how I use trivy so that it's scanning more things and more often in my CI automation pipelines.

| 13 Dec 2024 | DevOps Cert Prep using AI, with the KodeKloud Team | 01:13:01 | |
Bret is joined by Mumshad Mannambeth and Vijin Palazhi of KodeKloud for Q&A on what we should be studying and certifying for in 2025. 💥 This episode is brought to you by our valued sponsor and friends at Aikido!💥 This episode is chalked full of information. We talked about the CNCF Kubestronaut program and how GenAI has changed the cert prep game, and see what tools and techniques we should use to prepare for next year! You've probably seen Mumshad's courses. He has been another person like myself who, for almost a decade, has been making container courses on Docker, Kubernetes, all the tooling. Now he's running a giant platform of learning and they're introducing AI into your learning and certification prep, courses, and skills labs. And we go through all of it. We talk about all of the Linux Foundation certifications they cover. They've launched over 100 courses now on their platform and they cover a lot, if not all of the Linux certifications, especially around Kubernetes and the Cloud Native ecosystem. I'm a huge fan of that. I think this is great stuff for everyone, especially if you're early in your career and you're using certifications as a way to prove your expertise or you're like me, you've been around forever and you want to show that you're up to date.

| 30 Jun 2023 | AWS containers with Corey Quinn | 01:05:14 | |
Bret and Matt are joined by Corey Quinn to talk about AWS and containers. Corey Quinn is the Chief Cloud Economist at the Duckbill Group. You may have seen or heard some of his in-depth AWS content, including his Last Week in AWS newsletter and blog, Corey's podcast Screaming in the Cloud and the AWS Morning Brief, or his highly produced YouTube videos on the Last Week in AWS channel. Corey runs the Duckbill Group, a company of people focused on helping clients understand and manage their cloud spend. If I had to describe Corey in a sentence, he's a quick thinking AWS expert who is one part cloud strategist, and one part sarcasm. The inspiration for this show came from his blog series, focused on all the ways to run containers on AWS, which is to say there's a lot. Dozens of ways, in fact, which I took as a testament to how containers have won the cloud as the primary way to package and deploy software to servers. Now, the hard part for us is to figure out which method we're going to choose for running those containers. We go on lots of tangents, but overall it was a fun conversation and I hope you enjoy this episode.

Bret is joined by two Chainguard co-founders, CEO Dan Lorenc and Head of Product, Kim Lewandowski, to break down the ins and outs of supply chain security and talk about Chainguard's approach to securing it. We dive into tools, including their new Wolfi Linux distro. We first talk about what that even is, because it's a buzzword right now, and not everyone's on the same page on what securing your supply chain even means in the world of software. Then we jump into base images for containers, and their project Wolfi. We talk a lot about Wolfi in this episode, because it has the potential to change how we build our containers.

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Michael Fischer of AWS to discuss why we should use Graviton, their arm64 compute with AWS-designed CPUs. I'm a big fan of ARM-based servers and the price points that AWS gives us. They have been my default EC2 instance type for years now, and I recommend it for all projects I'm working on with companies. We get into the history of Graviton, how easy it is to build and deploy containers and Kubernetes clusters that have Graviton and even two different platform types in the same cluster.

Bret is joined by Demetrius Malbrough and Joseph D'angelo from Veritas, the company that makes NetBackup amongst many other data protection tools. NetBackup has been around at least 25 years and I've been using it over 20 years, although not recently. So we had the two gentlemen from Veritas on the show to break down the evolution of NetBackup to a Kubernetes native backup solution. We also talked about additional products that make sense in a backup context, like their InfoScale storage management solution, and we tried to break down some of the technicals. What are we talking about when we mean deploying NetBackup on Kubernetes? How does InfoScale fit into that? And generally, just helping me catch up with the last few years as NetBackup 10.0 has been released. I asked lots of questions and we got some interesting questions from the audience.

In Docker 18.09.1 and Docker Desktop 2.0.0.2 (stable) in January 2019, we now have a new option for running Windows Containers on Windows 10 in "process isolation mode" which removes the need to launch a full Windows Server Hyper-V VM.

| 04 Mar 2023 | Better K8s Prometheus Alerts with Robusta | 00:49:30 | |
Bret is joined by Natan Yellin, the co-founder of Robusta.dev to talk Kubernetes and Prometheus monitoring, alerting, and maybe some CPU limit ranting. Robusta tries to fill the gap left by Kubernetes' own AlertManager which has a very specific and not so helpful way of describing events in your cluster. This makes it hard to diagnose the cause of the event and you're left with Google, StackOverflow and an awful lot of head-scratching. Robusta acts as a proxy between AlertManager and your notification platform of choice. In the show we talk about what Robusta is, how to deploy it in your clusters, and Natan also details some of the enhancements in their cloud offering that you can layer on top of that, which has a generous free tier.

| 17 May 2024 | K2D by Portainer | 00:32:42 | |
Bret and Nirmal are joined by Neil Cresswell and Steven Kang from Portainer to look at K2D, a new project that enables us to leverage Kubernetes tooling to manage Docker containers on tiny devices at the far edge. K2D stands for Kubernetes to Docker, which is a bit of a crazy idea -- it's a partial Kubernetes API running on top of Docker Engine without needing a full Kubernetes control plane. If you work with very small devices, including older Raspberry PIs, 32-bit machines, maybe industry sensors and the infrastructure we now call 'edge', the container hardware is often hard for you to make simple, reliable, and automated all at the same time. So this project uses less resources than a single node K3S and still allows you to use Kubernetes tools to deploy and manage your containers, which are in fact just running on a Docker Engine with no full-fledged Kubernetes distribution going on there. We get into far more detail on the architecture, the Portainer team's motivations for this new open source project and what its limitations are, because it's not real Kubernetes, so it can't do everything. Watch the video version on YouTube for any demos. This episode is from our YouTube Live show on March 28, 2024 (Stream 260). ★Topics★ Creators & Guests

Bret is joined by two pros from the NGINX team, Robert Haynes and Brian Ehlert to break down the various use cases of NGINX on Kubernetes, and help you decide when and where you'll be using it. There's a lot going on around NGINX and I wanted to focus this conversation around NGINX on Kubernetes, and specifically the two ways you can run it for cluster ingress. We also get into some of the advanced scenarios of using NGINX, like caching and web application firewalls (WAF). Many of us are using NGINX somewhere in our clusters. I found it very interesting how Robert, Brian, and the team at F5 spend a lot of time showing customers how they can use it in many ways to avoid deploying additional products on their clusters. I'm a big fan of reducing complexity. Streamed live on YouTube on December 15, 2022.

Bret and Matt welcome Michael Cade, the field CTO at Kasten by Veeam. If you've been around servers for a while, you probably have heard of Veeam. It made its debut back in the late 2000's when virtual machines and implementations of VMs were big. I first found out about them back in those days, because it was a great free product for small virtual machine environments and data centers. They've made tons of additional backup and recovery products over those years, and now they have Kasten K10, which is a Kubernetes backup and restore/recovery product. Michael discussed with us the origins of K10 and some of the major features. We get into some demos, which you can check out in the original YouTube live show.

Bret and Nirmal are joined by Ken Collins, AWS Serverless Hero and Principal Engineer at Custom Ink to discuss all things Lambda and to dig into the details of running containers in serverless. Ken and I have known each other for probably 15 years in the local tech scene here in coastal Virginia. And I've always respected him for being a leader in that community, always wanting to talk at a meetup or help in some way. So when he reached out wanting to talk about his company using containers on AWS Lambda, it was an easy sell for me because I knew it would be a great show. And then I learned some of the updates Lambda has had over the years, particularly when it comes to container workflows. We had some great audience questions and no shortage of topics around using modern Lambda and serverless.
