Kubesimplify Diaries #02

We are happy to share that this is one of the best months for Kubesimplify. These analytics are just massive and increasing day by day with the support of the community.

Another big achievement for Kubesimplify is our project Ksctl got featured in Kubernetes Architect Twitter. Kudos to Dipankar, Avinesh, and other contributors for their contributions.

Chai pe Charcha

Saiyam Pathak's effort, "Chai Pe Charcha," on Kubesimplify Twitch aims to connect and educate people about CNCF and DevOps in the Hindi language. Kubesimplify wishes to provide and encourage that language should not be a barrier to your learning through our Chai Pe Charcha series. 

This week we started with a great discussion over the ArgoCD course by Akuity. We had AMA, a fancy discussion about the difference between CKA and CKAD, some CKA tips, Secrets, Sealed secrets, Ingress and Ingress controller, and Kubeseal CLI as controller.

If you are someone who wants to get connected and learn in our local language, learn new things daily around cloud-native stuff, and connect with community folks then do join our live streams at 5:00 pm IST on Kubesimplify Twitch.
