Introduce yourself here!

Hello Everyone,

My name is Ishwar Kanse. I work as a Senior Technical Support Engineer for Ansible at Red Hat. I’m a Certified Kubernetes Administrator. I’ve worked on many freelance Kubernetes projects for clients. I’ve been following the Kubernetes project from its initial release and learning it since then. Glad to be a part of the awesome community. :slight_smile:

Hi everyone!

I’m Pete, and I am a fellow Kubernetes administrator and SRE/DevOps practitioner. I’ve run k8s in production at three separate companies and have been using it since sometime in the 0.x beta tree. I occasionally write open-source utilities to make Kubernetes work better for me.

Thanks for the invite; I’m excited to participate in these Kubernetes discussions.

Howdy,
I’m James and started working with Kubernetes about a year ago. Having this as an open forum is a good idea and should have come sooner. Following git issues can be tedious for things. :slight_smile: Our organization is moving to GCP/GKE so a lot of our sore spots will be ironed out, but actually moving things at scale will be the new challenge compared to our small on-prem POC.

cheers!

Hi, everyone. I’m Mark Betz. I work on the engineering operations team at Olark, a provider of live chat services. Engineering operations is sort of where SRE meets devops at our small company. I’ve been working with containers and kubernetes since 2015 I guess. I occasionally write stuff at https://medium.com/@betz.mark and http://markbetz.net.

What cool things do we do with it at Olark? Keep our stuff running on GKE every day :).

Thanks for the invitation. Looking forward to participating.

I’m Jon, a backend software developer at a startup in San Francisco. I’ve been working with Kubernetes for about a year now in production and the more I learn the more I’m interested in the platform. I’m currently reading Kubernetes in Action by Marko Luksa and have really enjoyed learning more about Kube primitives and internals. Thanks for making this forum it’s been a great source of info!
