  • kops

    Kubernetes Operations (kOps) - Production Grade k8s Installation, Upgrades and Management

  • If you want to save yourself some toil I highly recommend looking into kops https://kops.sigs.k8s.io/

  • autoscaler

    Autoscaling components for Kubernetes

  • Currently I am trying to have Microk8s work as a cluster and this implicates getting the microk8s join and microk8s leave/remove-node working correctly when machines join/leave the cluster. I am working with AWS EC2 and using AWS Cluster Autoscaler to scale up and down my Auto Scaling groups.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • cdk8s

    Define Kubernetes native apps and abstractions using object-oriented programming

  • I am quite savvy when it comes to creating workloads, I am using CDK8s to develop my apps setup when it comes to pod configuration, ConfigMaps, Secrets, etc.
