#7: Config Management Camp: Kubernetes, Sysdig & Mgmt

<p>I’m back! Sort of.</p> <p>This is a mono-episode where it’s just me talking about <a href="http://cfgmgmtcamp.eu/">Config Management Camp</a>, a conference held in Gent in February 2017. I recap a few interesting talks and projects I saw.</p> <p>This is an episode that I recorded <em>in the car</em>. So there might be audio quality concerns and I’m very much looking for feedback on this format: is it hearable? Does it bother you? Should I do more of these recaps?</p> <p>Please let me know via e-mail at <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> or on Twitter at <a href="https://twitter.com/mattiasgeniar">@mattiasgeniar</a>.</p> <h2 id="shownotes">Shownotes</h2> <ul> <li><a href="http://cfgmgmtcamp.eu/">Config Management Camp</a></li> <li><a href="https://kubernetes.io/">Kubernetes</a></li> <li>Next gen config management: <a href="https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt">mgmt</a></li> <li><a href="https://sysdig.com/blog/digging-into-kubernetes-with-sysdig/">Digging into Kubernetes with Sysdig</a></li> </ul>

#6.5: SysCast is taking a little break

#6.5: SysCast is taking a little break

<p>I wish I didn’t have to bring this message, but I’m fairly certain you already noticed it: there hasn’t been a new SysCast podcast in a while.</p> <p>I’m taking a bit of a break to organise things, prepare better and overall bring a better show. But that takes time, and time is something I don’t have at the moment.</p> <p>The plan is to bring SysCast back in a few months. In the meantime, don’t unsubscribe just yet, keep the RSS feed going. In a few months, I hope to be back – full force.</p> <p>Meanwhile, if you’re craving more open source or linux news, have a look at the weekly newsletter called <a href="https://www.cronweekly.com/">cron.weekly</a>!</p>
