Deploying on Kubernetes doesn't equal disaster recovery. My MSc research showed this clearly—comparing AWS EKS and GKE recovery scenarios with Velero backups taught invaluable, practical lessons.
Managing updates isn't trivial; it's a complex, rewarding challenge. Upgrade management at scale involves orchestrating updates across Kubernetes clusters and workloads. While automation aids efficiency, the true art lies in understanding client needs and ensuring seamless, invisible upgrades.
Sometimes technical challenges just come out of nowhere—and ruin your day (or months). Let me tell you the epic tale of how a sudden DockerHub limitation threw my team into a mad scramble, some detective work and Bash scripting sessions.
After searching endlessly for reliable backups, discovering Duplicacy felt like a gift. To help others easily set it up for free, I created a Docker-based CLI solution—perfect if you enjoy tinkering and want a flexible, space-efficient backup without breaking the bank.
A colleague spotted a strange sawtooth pattern in Grafana. Digging deeper into Kubernetes nodes pointed me toward suspiciously high disk I/O wait times linked to EFS. How was it solved?
