Ramblings from the Viking who run the Cafe at the end of the universe.
Some times, especially during development, I need to connect to lot's of k8s pods using command-line curl (or other tools I have on my PC). The traditional solutions is to install a "jump-pod", and execute the commands there. Today I had enough and installed a socks proxy pod in the k8s cluster.
It is surprisingly hard to deploy a private docker registry anywhere, and kubernetes is no exception.
For C++ developers, more cores to build on means faster builds. If your project is big, more cores can make a significant boost. If you have a local k8 cluster with spare CPU, it's amazingly simple to turn it into a build-machine.
