Used to be just a SWE who codes behind the screen. I became a human who codes for a purpose. Still love containers and Kubernetes...

Two years ago, I experienced an incident within the #CNCF ecosystem that exposed serious gaps in how harassment, pile-ons, and reputational attacks were handled. The systems meant to protect contributors simply weren’t there. 🧵

Kubernetes scheduling rarely feels like magic ... because it isn’t.

I just published a deep-dive blog post, “Kubernetes Scheduler & Queue Management,” on how the scheduler’s queueing logic works.

To every lawful immigrant and naturalized citizen who recognizes themselves in this: you are not guests in this country. We are Americans.

We have the right to speak, to vote, to organize, and we will use those rights to defend our place here.

Section 212(f) is about controlling the entry of non-citizens at the border, not about downgrading the rights of existing U.S. citizens.

This climate not only harms immigrant families, but it also harms the United States.

When I see the official White House account sharing messages like this from the current president of the United States, I don’t see an abstract “policy debate.” 🧵

Just published a new post in my #Kubernetes scheduler series, a complete reference to in-tree #scheduler plugins. If you’re building, operating, or debugging k8s scheduler, this is meant to be your map.

Attending #KubeCon NA was a reminder of a truth I haven’t forgotten... The investigation into the harassment I reported took almost a year, and confirmed I was the victim. Yet, I received no acknowledgment from #CNCF leadership.

That silence left a lasting impact. It still does. (1/3)

It’s nice to see your work make it into the next #kubernetes release (v1.35) 😎

Most people think the Kubernetes scheduler makes scheduling decisions itself. Well, it doesn’t.

The real power lies elsewhere.

🧵 Let’s talk about how the kube-scheduler is actually a plugin-first orchestration engine, not a decision-maker.

Dr. Alaa Al-Najjar ...

Let's imagine her life 3 weeks ago, crazy & busy life, a mom for 10 kids, a wife, and a pediatrician who has an obligation to work constantly to help other kids during this brutal time.

I bet she was happy amid this chaos...

Let's imagine her life now ...

A reminder from @alon_mizrahi for everyone that we are witnessing one of the worst genocide in the “modern” history LIVE.

I also question everyone who is not impacted by what is happening. I can’t work, smile or feeling happy anymore. My life is some sort of “paused”.

I will never be the same. Nothing will ever be the same.

His name is Ali Faraj, 6 years old. He is the brother of a little girl that was torn in half.

Only he and his mother survived. His father and five sisters were all killed.

Their names are Zeina, Leen, Razan, Souad, and Jawri.

Know their name, they are not numbers.
