@nicholaseberts Happy birthday Nick!

All I want for my birthday is a not trump result.

I’m ecstatic that #Kubernetes Community Day San Francisco Bay Area is happening on May 8, 2025 and I’m one of the organizers cncf.io/blog/2024/10/3…

🎃 Trick or Treat? Treat of course! 🎃 🚀 Today we've launched GKE Control Plane Authority which provides enhanced visibility, security controls, and customization of the GKE control plane. 🚀 Check out our docs: cloud.google.com/kubernetes-eng… #kubernetes #k8s #gke #security

A great simplification for configuring IAM policy on Google Cloud: use Workload Identity Federation for GKE and reference your k8s resources directly! Check out this explanation in the video. youtube.com/watch?v=Gx_Msd… #k8s #security #gke #iam #workloadidentity #oidc #googlecloud

I have been talking to a decent amount of GKE customers about how to build an inferencing platform on GKE that can handle for GPU stockouts so I threw a quick demo together. GKE Fleets and Multi Cluster Gateway can serve a inferencing model from multiple clusters behind a single global loadbalancer. Each inference server in each cluster has an HPA and the Gateway algo will send you to the closest server. Take a look at how the system response to a load test. Not too shabby right :)

New Blog Alert! In this blog I explore the open source solution Ray and how it can support AI workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (and Kubernetes in general to a degree). dev.to/googlecloud/in…

Attending the inaugural Cloud Native Community Group San Francisco hosted by @reylejano and @jasonsmithio ! Great turnout and great speakers including @solomonstre and Ofir from Wiz! Thanks @CloudNativeFdn

New release of kube-network-policies with IPVS and better IPv6 support github.com/kubernetes-sig… This project is designed to be easy to import, per example, it will be part of kindnet github.com/aojea/kindnet/… and most probably kind github.com/kubernetes-sig…

ICYMI: Add to your weekend watch list! @mrgcastle and I gave a keynote at the #CNSCon about Ray on #k8s in Seattle at the end of June: lnkd.in/gmHEqy8t I also had a ⚡ talk on Workload Identity workloads: lnkd.in/g7ZF7f9c #k8s #security #aiml #Ray #identity

We’re announcing the GA of Google Distributed Cloud air-gapped appliance, an integrated hardware and software solution that unlocks real-time local data processing for AI use cases with stringent security requirements. cloud.google.com/blog/topics/hy…

"With one [committed use discount] purchase, you can cover eligible spend on all three products: Compute Engine, GKE, and Cloud Run." < great deal that protects you from the risk of buying discounts for a single service

Picked up some Seattle-roasted beans as recommended by @annnwallace from @VictrolaCoffee … luckily close by the hotel!

That’s a wrap! Thanks to the #CNSCon organizers and speakers. It was great to sync with security-minded folks in Seattle. #kubernetes #security
