What tells Flagger a release is safe to keep going? What is the safety mechanism?

Today, we published @rawkode.dev's first editorial!

ArgoCD's UI is great, but Flux's architecture is inevitable.

Hey all -- this is not happening -- Slack will be comped for CNCF communities in perpetuity.

Heads up: on 20 June, Salesforce will no longer be supporting the Kubernetes project with a free enterprise license. We will lose access to channel history older than 90 days, and will likely be forced to migrate to a new platform sometime later this year.

I really hope the smart people behind Kubernetes KinD will figure out a way to run #Kubernetes on Apple silicon using the new container tool 🤞 github.com/apple/contai...

GitHub - apple/container: A tool for creating and running Linux containers using lightweight virtual machines on a Mac. It's written in Swift, and optimized for Apple silicon.

On the downside, I see how SEO techniques will drastically change once LLMs will dominate web search. Brands will end up paying top dollar to the foundational models to prioritise and skew the conversation to promote their content and it's full circle back to the sad state of Google search.

Stefan Prodan @stefanprodan.com · Jun 8

Markdown has become the lingua franca for LLMs and understandably so given the amount of Javascript we ship these days to render HTML on the client-side.

For most cloud-native projects, this is really great as we already use Markdown for all our docs.

After trying out various ways of writing a llms.txt for ControlPlane's #FluxCD distribution, I think I finally nailed it.
