Previous Episode: Episode 132: Capturing dumpling juice, the Pentagon selects AWS, & Thor

Next Episode: Episode 134: “Hardly enough diggities”

There’s a lot of container and kubernetes news this week what with KubeCon. We discuss some highlights from there, including Google’s gVisor project, angling to make life more secure in cloud native land. We then discuss Red Hat’s Operators, Chef, and related ways to package up applications and related configuration for deployment onto cloud platforms. Plus, once again, we finally solve how to calendar better.
