When solving a killercoda challenge I ran into some confusion. Even though my solution worked, there was a difference which I wanted to get clear on. I wrote this: apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: NetworkPolicy metadata: name: np namespace: space1 spec: podSelector: {} policyTypes: - Egress egress: - to: - namespaceSelector: matchLabels: kubernetes.io/metadata.name: space2 - to: ports: - protocol: TCP port: 53 - protocol: UDP port: 53 But the provided course solution was this: ...
There are two things which I鈥檓 dreading most for the CKS exam: writing Network Policies and configuring RBAC under heavy time pressure. I鈥檝e heard from colleagues that the exam has many questions of this nature, so it will be a good way of scoring points. However, regardless of the exam, the fact that I鈥檓 dreading these topics also shows that I鈥檓 not familiar enough with them and therefore this is a point where I should improve. It鈥檚 not only about the exam, but also my growth of expertise as a Kubernetes Engineer. ...
It seems like I will have a couple of hours a day which I can allot to study in the coming month. This will be the perfect moment to start working on a goal I鈥檝e had for a long time: getting my Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist certification. t鈥檚 not going to be easy. I鈥檓 quite intimidated by all of the new things I鈥檒l have to learn. But that鈥檚 a good sign. It鈥檚 the way it works. Everybody would be doing this if it was easy, and I can only grow by doing hard things that seem intimidating at first. ...
Removing backgrounds from images is always an annoying task which I always need to google. And every time I end up on a different website where you can upload an image and then download a low-resolution version without the background, and you鈥檒l have to pay for the high-resolution. Turns out MacOS preview can do this just fine. I keep finding these little gems in MacOS that completely remove the need for any external app or saas. Such as Apple Reminders. ...

I鈥檓 an avid reader, and this list is far from complete. But I wanted to start writing down the ones I鈥檓 reading now, and the ones I鈥檝e read in the past. I鈥檓 mostly writing down titles but I鈥檒l include the author when I remember the name. 2024 How To Take Smart Notes Getting Things Done 2023 The Lords of the North The Pale Horseman The Last Kingdom Born to Run 2 ...
I鈥檝e just released a comprehensive video delving deep into my Neovim setup and command-line centric workflow. This video is a response to the curiosity of my YouTube subscribers. It鈥檚 an all-inclusive guide from A to Z, detailing the rationale behind my configuration choices. I鈥檝e spent years perfecting my workflow and this video has been several months in the making, so I鈥檓 excited that I can finally share it with you. ...
I always thought that Persistent Volume Claims where deleted when you delete the pod which they are associated with. I was wrong. The lifecycle of PVCs is independent of Pods, and their behavior is largely governed by the Reclaim Policy set on the PVs. Here鈥檚 what you need to know: PVCs: These are requests for storage, akin to how Pods request resources like CPU and memory. They exist independently and can be bound to Pods when needed. PVs: Provisioned by administrators or dynamically through Storage Classes, PVs provide the actual storage resources. Their lifecycle is not tied to any specific Pod. Understanding Reclaim Policies The Reclaim Policy on a PV dictates its fate after a PVC is released. There are three policies to be aware of: ...
In this video I set up Flux running in a local cluster on my MacBook by following the getting started guide. Then I learn about how to structure the repo according to Flux methodology. I implement this structure in my homelab repo and deploy flux to my homelab cluster. Then I manage to configure Grafana and the Weave UI to be accessbible via ingress using a custom fake domain. ...
