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.

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.

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.

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).

Bret is joined by Dan Garfield of CodeFresh to talk about growth of GitOps as a standard, growth of Argo, and more. Dan is the Co-founder and Chief Open Source Officer of Codefresh, a CI/CD platform powered by GitOps and Argo. He helped launch the GitOps Working Group and helped lead the creation of the Open GitOps principles. As an Argo Maintainer, Kubernaut, Google Developer Expert, he helps companies and individuals adopt Argo with GitOps and streamline their CI/CD. We take some great questions about how GitOps is different than just triggering deployments and other automation platforms. And we also dig into the four principles of GitOps and how Codefresh uses Argo CD as a part of their CI/CD offering. Live recording of the complete show from July 27, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #227).

In this episode, Bret and Nirmal talk with Brian Douglas of OpenSauced. Brian Douglas, of GitHub fame, has founded OpenSauced, a cool web app and community of open source developers finding their next contribution and maybe their next job. Brian has so many stories of working with open source projects and having conversations with leading open source contributors, while previously being a lead developer advocate at GitHub. So we definitely spend time talking through some of those stories and learning some of that we didn't know about GitHub and open source being run on it. We then dig into how to use the OpenSauced platform he's creating to find your next open source project and get noticed by employers.  Live recording of the complete show from July 13, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #225). ★Topics★ OpenSauced website Blog article: Good first issues don’t exist You can also support my free material by subscribing to my YouTube channel and my weekly newsletter at bret.news!

Bret and Nirmal welcome Idit Levine, Founder/CEO Solo.io. Idit focuses on Service Mesh, API-GW and Multi-Cloud networking, and security. Idit has been involved in the Containers/DevOps community for 10+ years, building products from Docker to Envoy to Kubernetes, and now Istio and Cilium. We talk about Istio, Ambient Mesh, Envoy, Zero-Trust Security, Cilium, eBPF, Multi-Cloud and more. This is not the first time we've talked about Solo or Service Mesh. Ambient Mesh is Solo's new product that simplifies the install and infrastructure costs of essentially running Istio. I'm really hopeful that this is going to help a lot more people implement Istio because traditionally, it does have a lot of parts and a lot of costs with the sidecar approach, but this new approach reduces the number of essentially proxies and parts that you're running on each node of your Kubernetes cluster.

Bret and Matt welcome special guest Brendan Burns, CVP Azure Cloud Native & Resource Management, and also a founding member of the Kubernetes project. Because Brendan is one of the three original co-founders of the Kubernetes project back in 2013 at Google, he's a little bit internet famous in open source and Cloud Native. So I was a little nervous going into this because I had so many questions. We took some live questions as we always do from YouTube live, and I thought it was a really great episode of a little mix of talking about Azure and some of the things you can do with containers, some of the things they're working on, some of the things that he's focused on that we haven't seen yet. We talk about AI and how that relates to some of these things. We even talk about WASM or WebAssembly, one of my favorite topics of the last year, because that's important so it was great to get his perspective. And I think my favorite part of the show is where we really talk about the next layers of abstraction, or maybe even the ways that we can deploy to Kubernetes or make it simpler to manage and deploy to. And that's been a real challenge for the community ever since Kubernetes was created in making it more accessible to more people, without it being so complex to manage and deal with underneath. And Brendan has some really great views on what it's going to take it to get us there.

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 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.

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 and Matt are joined by Brent Baude and Dan Walsh from Red Hat to talk about the latest with Podman, Quadlet, Podman Desktop and Podman machine, and how it all works with Kubernetes. Dan Walsh, a Senior Distinguished Engineer at Red Hat, has been working with containers since the beginning. He's a contributor to Docker, Project Atomic, SELinux, and a lot more. He literally wrote the book on Podman. Brent Baude, is a Senior Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat and an architect and a primary maintainer of Podman, and contributes to many of its associated technologies like CRI-O, Buildah, and Skopeo. We go through a lot of tooling in this episode because Red Hat has taken a different stance than Docker in how it delivers its container tooling. You might say they take the approach of the Unix philosophy of every program does one thing well. Most of us know Docker and how it bundles many things related to containers into a single command line and daemon, yet some would prefer to isolate pieces of container management functionality into discreet, smaller programs - one for building images, one for running containers, one for communicating with registries, one for adding a GUI to your container manager, and one for managing the container VM. It's just sort of how I would break down the Podman ecosystem. And while that may seem like a lot of things, it's basically what Docker does for you in a single tool, yet the isolation of these tools is what can make them purpose-fit when you only need a fraction of the functionality of Docker. For example, one of Podman's core tenants is that it tells systemd to run your pods, which is the initialization process on most Linux distributions. In this way, your containers become more like standard system processes, rather than the Docker way of running all containers under the Docker Daemon process itself. Now many of us have heard of the other two original Red Hat container projects, Skopeo and Buildah, but there's now an increasing number of things the Podman ecosystem can do. So I'm grateful to Dan and Brent for coming on to break down the new parts of this toolkit and how we might use them.

Bret and his co-host, Matt, are joined by Jason Dellaluce and Luca Guerra from Sysdig to talk about Falco, a tool I recommend for production clusters and knowing about any bad behavior on your servers. Falco is a security tool I've mentioned multiple times on this show, because I mostly think that a low level security focused logging product is something that every production server needs. The ability to log unexpected events and behaviors on your Linux host is powerful and necessary to be able to audit what's really happening on your infrastructure outside of your app itself. Falco has been a CNCF incubating project for over four years, and I was immediately drawn to it in its early days, because it was container and Kubernetes aware and it could log and alert with default rules for everything, from someone starting a shell inside a container, to a bash history file being deleted, to a container trying to talk to the Kubernetes API. This episode will be useful for those of you new to tools like Falco and for those familiar with its basics, but also wanting to learn about newer features and use cases, which I did some learning on myself in this episode.

Bret is joined by Lukas Gentele and Rich Burroughs from Loft Labs to look at a new project called DevPod, that supports dev containers and VMs. It works with local Docker instances and AWS, GCP, Azure, and several other cloud providers. The project is compatible with Microsoft's DevContainer standard, which means it works with the VC Code standalone app and VS Code in the browser. Lukas and Rich were on this show last year, showing off vcluster, which allows you to run a full Kubernetes cluster inside an existing Kubernetes namespace. In this episode, we announce the release of DevPod and also go through some demos. I'm already thinking of how I might use it in my own developer workflow.

Bret is joined by fellow Docker Captain Nuno do Carmo to talk about desktop container solutions and the best Docker setup for Windows 11. Nuno's a Docker Captain, Civo Ambassador, Microsoft MVP, and a big fan of Windows and Cloud Native. I've had him on the show before, because the more you use the Windows Subsystem for Linux and Docker Desktop, the more you'll want to use WSL. Nuno helps answer many questions such as where are the Linux files stored, managing the CPU and memory resources, backing up files in WSL, getting the host Windows Explorer into the Linux filesystem, getting back to the Windows file system from the Linux shell and more!

Bret is joined by Kyle Galbraith and Jacob Gillespie, co-founders of Depot, to discuss their new solution to slow Docker builds.   If you've never dug into some of the details of Dockers BuildKit, that's the engine behind your Docker build command, then this episode is for you. I'm fairly confident that everyone who uses Docker will eventually come upon the problems that Kyle and Jacob were trying to solve with Depot. Their focus is on speeding up your Docker builds by doing them remotely, in a transparent way. They avoid you needing to rethink your workflows and CI automations and provide a CLI tool that's a drop-in replacement for the Docker build command. In this episode, we walked through the problems they can solve today with what I would call a unified shared build cache for your whole team, including your CI and automation tools. The way they are going about speeding up the Docker builds is something I wished Docker had done for us all along. I think it's still early days for the Depot product, but if you're suffering with long build image times it's already mature enough to be something I would consider as a replacement for the traditional Docker engine builds that we're all used to.

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.

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 is joined by Matt Williams of Infra to show off their open source project Infra, which provides easy, centralized RBAC and auth to Kubernetes and more. Infra is a new company taking on simplifying centralized infrastructure, user authentication and permissions. Their open source tool by the same name is quite easy to start with. In this episode, Matt does a great job of explaining the pain points of Kubernetes user management, certificate distribution and revocation, and more pain points that Infra is bringing simplicity to.

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.

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 is joined by Shauli Rozen, CEO and Co-Founder of ARMO, creators of Kubescape. Kubescape is a K8s open-source tool providing a multi-cloud K8s single pane of glass, including risk analysis, security compliance, RBAC visualizer, and image vulnerability scanning. I'm a fan of tools like this and specifically of Kubescape, which I use and recommend to my clients. The scanner can scan your YAML manifests of your Kubernetes resources. It can scan your live Kubernetes clusters. And it can scan the YAML in your Git repos, as well as the images themselves that you're deploying to Kubernetes. As ARMO calls it, it's a single pane of glass into your Kubernetes security.   Streamed live on YouTube on September 1, 2022. Includes demos.

Bret is joined by Martin Wimpress and Pieter van Noordennen from Slim.ai to discuss some ways to slim down your Docker images and reduce the attack surface of your containers in the process. Many companies and projects have tried to do similar things before - Slim Images, Alpine Images, Distro List, Build Packs, and even Docker tried a few years back, to create intelligence and guidance around migrating legacy apps into slim production quality images. Those efforts were scrapped in 2019. The dual mandate of generating Docker images - easy to understand and as minimal as possible, with the lowest CVE vulnerability count - was not achieved by any of those projects.   Automation and intelligence like Slim.ai is the future of building container images and also the future of complex monoliths and legacy apps with a lot of dependencies.

Bret is joined by Rosemary Wang, a developer advocate at Hashi Corp. She recently finished a Manning book, titled Infrastructure as Code: Patterns and Practices. They discuss how infrastructure as code fits into DevOps and Gitops, and how you can get started with IaC and run over some important patterns, such as controlling versioning, IaC testing and managing costs. Rosemary worked at ThoughtWorks previously, and it was interesting to hear her experiences on learning from senior engineering, and how pairing and other types of mentorship can help.

Bret is joined by Ravi Lachhman, Field CTO at Shipa, to discuss the basics of Shipa application and policy management, and show off the developer experience that Shipa brings to apps running on IaC and GitOps tools like ArgoCD,  Crossplane, Terraform, Kubernetes, and more. Shipa is focused on the layer above the infrastructure where application developers can avoid other Kubernetes manifest tools like Helm or Kustomize, and create a cleaner contract between what their application needs are and how the infrastructure provides them. If you've done Kubernetes YAML long enough, you know that it can get quite complex and verbose, and it requires both infrastructure and developer roles or knowledge to fully configure it. So you kind of got to know both worlds. But Shipa wants to fit in the middle somewhere, not replacing the infrastructure tools like Terraform or Crossplane, but rather working on top of them, providing an easier way to describe your apps from a dev's point of view and how they work on top of your infrastructure. It focuses on the application requirements, not necessarily how those requirements are implemented. Streamed live on YouTube on April 14, 2022.

Jim Bugwadia joins Bret to discuss Kubernetes policy management and "intelligent guardrails for K8s." Jim is the CEO and co-founder of Nirmata. He's also the founder of Kyverno, an CNCF Sandbox Project and open source project for managing policies in Kubernetes. We talk about what Kyverno is, what it isn't, and what problems it solves. We also talk a bit about Narmada and how it expands on that. If you're in a team using Kubernetes together, controlling settings and standards in your workloads and clusters can be a constant source of frustration unless you have something to govern those policies across all your workloads and clusters.Streamed live on YouTube on Feb 24, 2022. Unedited live recording of the complete show on YouTube (Ep #160). Includes demos. ★Topics ★ Kyverno is a policy engine designed for Kubernetes. With Kyverno, policies are managed as Kubernetes resources, and no new language is required to write policies. This allows using familiar tools such as kubectl, git, and kustomize to manage policies. Kyverno policies can validate, mutate, and generate Kubernetes resources plus ensure OCI image supply chain security.

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.
