Today, Kubernetes 1.23 release candidate was made available upstream for testing and experimentation. General availability is planned for December 7th, so now is the time to report back any issues or bugs.

Kubernetes management can be daunting for developers who don’t have specialized understanding of the orchestration technology. Learning Kubernetes takes practice and time, a precious commodity for devs who are under pressure to deliver new applications.

A single Kubernetes cluster expends a small percentage of its total available assigned resources on delivering in-cluster networking. We don’t have to be satisfied with this, though—achieving the lowest possible overhead can provide significant cost savings and performance improvements if you are running network-intensive workloads.
If GitHub stars are any indication, Prometheus has been doubling in usage year over year since its inception. While at Moogsoft we love Prometheus as the metrics foundation of our observability platform, there were some challenges to overcome to make it the rock-solid piece of our stack it is today.
Kubernetes is viewed as one of the great equalizers between development and operations teams. Simply write a manifest and the declarative power of Kubernetes is off to fulfill your desired state. Kubernetes is certainly pluggable and has the ability to be extended / opinions being swapped internally. As any IT organization can tell you, even with Kubernetes there is a lot of integration work, and several parts of the stack such as IaC have been left outside of Kubernetes.
