🎉 Excited to share my first @OReillyMedia course: AKS Essentials is live! 🚀 It is designed to get you up to speed with #Azure #Kubernetes Service (#AKS) & enhance #cloudnative skills. 💡course here: oreilly.com/videos/azure-k… #Azure #K8s #Containers

New post: AKS Cluster Health Monitor is now in preview 🔍 It runs inside your cluster and actively checks CoreDNS, API server, and metrics server health. If a CoreDNS pod gets stuck, it restarts it automatically before it becomes a DNS outage 🚨 No Azure Monitor managed Prometheus required. Metrics on port 9800, scrape with whatever you have. Not for production yet, but worth testing now if you run AKS at any scale 👇 pixelrobots.co.uk/2026/03/aks-cl… #AKS #Kubernetes #Azure #SRE #PlatformEngineering

🛡️ New feature on the AKS Docs Tracker: CVE Security Search Search any CVE ID and instantly see its status across all AKS releases and VHD node images. Powered by the new AKS Vulnerability Data API - announced by the AKS team at KubeCon EU Amsterdam and now in Public Preview. Type a CVE. Hit search. Done. 👉 #aks-tab-cve" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">pixelrobots.co.uk/aks-docs-track… Big credit to the AKS engineering team for building this. Security transparency for your cluster, finally. #AKS #Azure #Kubernetes #KubeConEU #Security #CVE

New post 👇 Azure Kubernetes Application Network is in preview - a fully managed ambient mesh (no sidecars) that connects multiple AKS clusters with shared mTLS, cross-cluster service discovery, and traffic management out of the box. If multi-cluster AKS networking is your problem, this is worth a look. 🔗 pixelrobots.co.uk/2026/03/azure-… #Azure #AKS #Kubernetes

🚀 Application networking in AKS is getting a major rethink Managing connectivity, visibility, and security across services has never been simple… This new preview brings it all together: 🌐 Smarter connectivity 👀 Deeper insights 🔐 Integrated security Less fragmentation. More control. Better experience. Really interesting direction from Azure 👏 learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ap… #AKS #Azure #Kubernetes #ApplicationNetworking #DevOps #Cloud

After years of running AKS in production (and learning the hard way), I wrote a book about the decisions that really matter. 📘 The AKS Book: Every AKS Decision That Will Save You a Cluster Rebuild It’s out now. More info 👇 pixelrobots.co.uk/2026/03/the-ak… #AKS #PlatformEngineering #Kubernetes

@techgirl1908 @AgenticAIFdn Congrats!!!

Excited to share that I've stepped into a new role as VP of the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) 🎉 As AI reshapes our industry, it's critical that this technology evolves in ways that are open and collaborative. Hosted by the Linux Foundation, @AgenticAIFdn is a neutral organization focused on advancing adoption of key open source efforts like MCP, AGENTS.md, and Goose. Our members include Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, AWS, Microsoft, and 100+ others. This work is bigger than any single company or product. I'm ecstatic to help drive AI adoption and interoperability at an industry-wide level.

Taught by Steve Buchanan, Microsoft MVP, Docker Captain, and startup advisor, Foundations of SaaS covers SaaS fundamentals, business models, pricing, and multitenancy architecture. 👉 Become a member and learn: retinuesystems.com/advisory-and-t… #saas #saasfounders #startups

I just open sourced my #AzurePolicy IaC solution that works on both #AzureDevOps and #GitHubActions. This is something I have spent last 4-5 years perfecting it. I named it #AzPolicyFactory. Read my blog post here: blog.tyang.org/2026/03/08/dep…

My 30th @Pluralsight course is LIVE! @Google Firebase Studio Foundations, a hands-on #VibeCoding course covering Google's #AI powered #dev solution from prototyping to deployment using #Gemini. 👉 pluralsight.com/courses/google… #Firebase #GoogleCloud #AI #AppDev #GCP #cloud

Anthropic just released a guide on how to use Claude to build and design anything. resources.anthropic.com/hubfs/The-Comp…

Running a SaaS product on multiple clouds means Kubernetes - the common tech stack between all the big players. @buchatech talks on RunAsRadio at runasradio.com/Shows/Show/1025 about maximizing commonality between cloud implementations for a SaaS product!

I’m back on @RunAsRadio for round 3! 🎧 It was great to catch up with Richard Campbell about #multicloud #SaaS. We dig into: 🔹 Getting SaaS workloads to #Azure #AKS 🔹 #Kubernetes as the bridge 🔹 #OpenTofu, #Prometheus, & more runasradio.com/Shows/Show/1025 #MVPBuzz #DockerCaptain

Excited to speak @OpenSourceNorth on May 29! 🚀 Levi McCormick & I are teaming up to talk: "#MultiCloud Without the Marketing." No fluff, just real-world arch we use at @Jamf to manage #AWS, #Azure, & #GCP. See you in May! opensourcenorth.com/presentations/… #OSN2025 #Cloud #OpenSource

Thanks @Docker for highlighting my blog post on #Docker Hardened Images and reaching for secure by default! Check out the post. #ContainerSecurity #DevSecOps #CloudNative #SoftwareSupplyChain #DockerCaptain #Cybersecurity #Containers

@FrancescoCiull4 @WeAreDevs @Docker Congrats!!

It’s official! I’ll be at the first @WeAreDevs conference in North America, September 23–25, in San Jose, CA. I’m joining other @Docker Captains 🐳 and can’t wait to meet everyone there. I love this life 💙🇮🇹
