  OpenFaaS - Serverless Functions Made Simple

  

  Project mention: It's time to say goodbye to the GPL | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-01-13

  The call for MIT / Apache 2.0 licensing at the end of the post was surprising, given the issues that the author outlined.

  Grafana and Minio have both moved to AGPL / dual licensing from permissive licenses to stimulate licensing sales and revenue. As the maintainer of OpenFaaS, it's been a struggle to correct the balance of corporations freeloading [0] vs. contributing code or finances.

  GitHub Sponsors has also given very mixed results [1]

  In the same week we saw the maintainer of a popular OSS work almost throw in the towel [2]

  After 5 years, we're starting to see customer interest only by holding new features and enhancements back i.e. Open Core. There are still problems with this approach, and paying customers end up funding all the R&D required for the free users - amongst other things like competition from hobbyist users who covet features that are more appropriate in production than on your Raspberry Pi cluster.

  Lightweight Kubernetes

  

  Project mention: Confused about plugin priorities | reddit.com/r/Tdarr | 2022-01-09

  I'm running 2.00.13 using the official Docker image. If it makes any difference, I'm running this in a K3s cluster (lightweight Kubernetes), itself running on Ubuntu 20.04.3 servers.

  eBPF-based Networking, Security, and Observability

  

  Project mention: Launch HN: ContainIQ (YC S21) – Kubernetes Native Monitoring with eBPF | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-01-06

  Polar signals develops Parca [0] which is another eBPF observability tool, and Isovalent develops Cilium [1] which is built on eBPF as well. Genuinely curious if there are differences, or if eBPF only allows for specific observability functionality and each tool has it all.

  Project mention: Why OpenEBS 3.0 for Kubernetes and Storage? | dev.to | 2021-10-02

  We are grateful for the support and contributions of the vibrant open-source community that OpenEBS has received. We are also thankful to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) for including OpenEBS as one of its storage projects. And a special thanks to the CNCF for being a reference user of OpenEBS as well - you can read about their experience and that of others including TikTok / ByteDance and Verizon / Yahoo on Adopters.md. Collectively, these aspects have helped my team to notice challenges and opportunities and of course to resolve bugs and improve the polish of OpenEBS with each release.

  Project mention: Wondering how to renew a certificate in k8s using cert manager. | reddit.com/r/kubernetes | 2021-12-28

  Using nginx ingress controller this is done automatically, using a standalone ip/service you might need to employ some form of reloader (eg https://github.com/stakater/Reloader) to restart the pods when a secret is updated.

• kubefwd

  1 2,752 7.4 Go

  Bulk port forwarding Kubernetes services for local development.

  

  Project mention: Using Telepresence 2 for Kubernetes debugging and local development | dev.to | 2021-04-15

  Kubefwd works similar to Telepresence by making your local environment think it is inside the cluster. The networking tunnel is one direction only. Telepresence is much smarter as it also makes the other cluster applications think that your local app is inside the same cluster. So with Kubefwd you only get 50% of what basic Telepresence offers. Telepresence also has volume mounting support for more advanced scenarios.
