A common lie managers tell, both to us lowlifes in the workforce but also to
themselves, is that their higher earnings are justified due to all the
responsibility they are carrying.
Of course this can not be true, because in pretty much no company beyond a

One of the main reasons micromanagers and decision delayers claim for wanting
people come to offices, is the so called creative exchange.
Brainstorming and putting funny colored pieces of paper with ideas on
cardboards is not only a favorite exercise of middle school teachers trying to
have an easy day …
Maybe not best practices.
But some practices.
Some mentions of the worst practices.
This is a small collection of things that worked for me, my colleagues and
most people I talked to, as well as some things that do not work, at least not

This is the fourth and final part of this little series of introducing
kubernetes to system operators.
In the first post I gave an overview about the general structure of a
kubernetes cluster.
The second post deals with managing ingress networking, as exposing
services to the outside world is something …
This is part three of my small high level Kubernetes introduction.
In the first post I gave an overview about the control plane and in the
previous post I explained how we can get traffic into our cluster.
In this post we will answer the basic question:
