Platforming The Future
As a seasoned technology leader with a passion for technology, I'm excited to share my insights on industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies. Join me as I explore the latest developments in platform engineering, cloud computing, devops, agile methodologies, artificial intelligence and more. My blog is a mix of technical and analog life observations. I do not have a regular posting cadence, but I do try to keep this feed fairly current.
Practical Kubernetes shift-down examples: Implement zero-trust with Cilium, automate deployments with Argo CD, and gain sidecar-less observability with Hubble.
Learn how to install and configure Cilium for Kubernetes. Explore eBPF-powered networking, Hubble observability, and identity-based security.
Stop starting from scratch. I vibe coded with Google Gemini to build a Grav CMS plugin. Check out the prompt and process behind my new Upcoming Posts widget.
LM Studio 0.4.0 is here! Learn about the new background daemon, parallel inference requests, and enhanced CLI tools for local AI development and automation.
