Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Windows auth with K8s on prem
It is sort of a roundabout way, but I sync Active Directory to a Keycloak realm, then use OIDC auth with kube-oidc-proxy (https://github.com/jetstack/kube-oidc-proxy) and kubelogin (https://github.com/int128/kubelogin) for OIDC-based auth to the api server.

Kubernetes in production.
Yes, I setup a cluster with no SPFs. That means an HA setup for the external load balancer. I use HAProxy for my ELB, and setup 2 instances with a VRRP + keepalived to provide HA to the ingress controller. I run the control plane private, accessible only from localhost. I setup kube-oidc-proxy (https://github.com/jetstack/kube-oidc-proxy) to expose the API server with single sign-on on the ingress controller, and use the kubelogin plugin (https://github.com/int128/kubelogin) to provide OIDC support to kubectl. I then setup Keycloak to handle OIDC/OAuth2/SAML and syncing to Active Directory, and setup groups in Active Directory to control acccess to clusters. Devs each get their own namespace in the dev cluster, with mostly cluster-admin access to their namespace. Staging/Prod clusters are locked down, with read-only access to devs. Thanks to the OIDC auth to the APIServer, when employees are onboarded & offboarded, we only need to add/remove them from groups in Active Directory and everything else just magically syncs.

Why are there so many OIDC SSO options for Kubernetes?
kube-oidc-proxy (OIDC to Kubernetes API servers where OIDC authentication is not available)

RBAC MANAGEMENT
I use the kube-login plugin for kubectl (https://github.com/int128/kubelogin) along with the kube-oidc-proxy (https://github.com/jetstack/kube-oidc-proxy), using Keycloak as my OIDC provider (https://www.keycloak.org) and doing LDAP synchronization to Active Directory.

What is the biggest challenge you/your org faces while running k8s in production?
We use Keycloak for this purpose. We deploy an OIDC-proxy to the kube-api (https://github.com/jetstack/kube-oidc-proxy), then use the kubectl plugin 'kubelogin' (aka oidc-login if you use krew - https://github.com/int128/kubelogin). This gives us the ability to have no user secrets in our KUBECONFIG, and to use Keycloak's Active Directory/LDAP user & group federation to control access to clusters. With this, downloading the KUBECONFIG is self-service, and adding users to new clusters is as easy as adding them to a group in AD.

Introduction to Helm: Comparison to its less-scary cousin APT
Generally I felt as if I was diving in the deepest of waters without the correct equipement and that was horrifying. Unfortunately to me, I had to dive even deeper before getting equiped with tools like ArgoCD, and k8slens. I had to start working with... HELM.

Imagine the best Kubernetes Dashboard. What does it have?
Indeed you can, with several "paid" features removed, like log tailing and pod shells. They deliberately hobbled the product. If you want to use Lens, my advice is pay for the supported version.

observing logs from Kubernetes pods without headaches
yes I know there is lens, but it does not allow me to see logs of multiple pods at same time and what is even more important it is not friendly for ephemeral clusters - in my case with help of kind I am recreating whole cluster each time from scratch

Let's wait for few seconds for the pods to become green, I am using Lens, it's awesome btw.

Fastest way to set up an k8s environment ?
You probably don't need Rancher unless you need a GUI or manage multiple clusters, Lens or k9s might be a better fit for your use case.

'ekscli' vs. 'aws eks'
`openlens` is now preferred over `Lens`, it has everything you need and none of the fluff that Lens wants to charge you for.
