While you wait for @KubeCon_ Atlanta schedule to be announced, you can enjoy our talk from KubeCon London about how we're building a Kubernetes-based compute platform at @LinkedIn to orchestrate thousands of services on 500,000+ bare metal servers. youtube.com/watch?v=dDkXFu…
85% of Gaza’s population has entered phase 5 of malnutrition. Irreversible even if food becomes available. As another People are annihilated upon the profane altar of Capitalism, we must all agree this time will be different. Remember Piers Morgan and every genocide…
I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.' Below are some brief highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Here's the full eye-opening 'debate': youtube.com/watch?v=2S-WJN…
someone at @astronomerio thought the response to their CEO/CPO caught kissing at a concert should be to disable LinkedIn links of execs on this page lol
There's surprisingly very little literature on orchestrating compute infra for AI training and influence workloads, or running tens of thousands of GPUs at high efficiency. Any blog posts or articles you recommend?
Similar to GKE 65k node clusters, EKS 100k node clusters is a big achievement! But both come with a big asterisk*: These are very low pod density clusters (1-2 pods per node); and not your regular multi-tenant microservice hosting clusters. aws.amazon.com/blogs/containe…
Let me tell you a story, Hanan. I’m Vietnamese. In 1954, the Western powers, fresh from centuries of colonial conquest, decided Vietnam should be cut in half. Not because the Vietnamese asked for it. Not because it was just. But because it served imperial interests. The…
As we test Kubernetes clusters beyond the supported 5,000+ nodes limit at @LinkedIn, we're finding out List API calls are a bottleneck in cluster reliability. So I'm publishing a deep dive about why this is a problem and what you can do about them.
Wix CTO (as expected) lists everything his country has been doing in their killing campaign and 57 year long occupation. Unclear why he doesn't stand behind his statement, it's no longer permissible to say these?
He deleted because sadistic racism is bad for business, but the internet is forever
“You need a novelist to capture the sadism” Political scientist Norman Finkelstein says he’s struggling to understand the killing of desperate Palestinians at aid distribution points in Gaza, and how accepted violence has become in Israeli society
We just published an article on Google’s collaboration with the Israeli military. Read it here: buff.ly/8Uu0Gb9 Originally published in Arabic on 7iber.com - thank you to the team at 7iber for the collaboration and trust!
James Earl Jones gives voice to Frederick Douglass' brilliant speech exposing the hypocrisy of the US' foundational myth, its false claim to universal liberty which it denied the most marginalized and oppressed, by answering the question: "What to the slave is the 4th of July?"
I will sleep well at night under the space blanket they give me at the ICE concentration camp knowing Chuck Schumer got the name of this bill changed. That's how useless this whole party is.
I just forced Republicans to delete their ridiculous bill name. It’s no longer named the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Nothing about this bill is beautiful—it’s a betrayal to American families, and it’s undeserving of such a stupid name.
Does anyone know why kubecon no longer links to presentation videos from youtube back in the conference schedule pages at kccnceu2025.sched.com cc: @KubeCon_ @CloudNativeFdn
