Cloud-Native Snapshot - May 2023

Loads of exciting initiatives at KubeCon: - The Dapr project is getting more attention - Application Development Working Group was kick-started - Keptn and Argo collaborations ❤️ - Dagger is 🔥 - Cilium and eBPF have conquered the networking space - Big projects are applying for graduation

Last Saturday and Monday, I presented at two Brazilian events. The first edition of KCD Sao Paulo (sold out in less than an hour) hosted around 400 people, and a Sou Java meetup hosted by IFood with about 50 people.

I wanted to focus on lessons learned when interacting with different projects, advice for people looking to contribute to open-source projects, and suggestions for teams “fighting” against myriad tools being thrown at them daily.

Wow! What a year it has been! After an incredible 2022, I thought it would be a difficult year to top up, but oh my! This year was intense, but in a perfect way. I’ve traveled the world and met amazing people. I want to thank everyone who approached me to say hello, get a book copy, or share a hug.

In this blog post, we will package and deploy the application we coded in the previous blog post to Kubernetes. We will create a local Kubernetes Cluster with Kubernetes KinD, install and configure Dapr, to finally deploy our application.
