Tim starts with a brief background on GKE from its beginnings in 2015 and its relationship to Borg to the visions Google developers had for the software. GKE is meant to help companies focus on what they’re good at and leave the rest to Google’s managed Kubernetes service.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tim talks about his acting gig in a Kubernetes documentary, including some fun facts about Kubernetes’ early days and the significance of the number seven. Over time, the teams working on open source Kubernetes and GKE have worked together, with advances in the open source software influencing updates in GKE. Kubernetes 1.25 was released the day this episode was recorded, and Tim describes how much work and thought goes into building these updates.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">GKE offers GCP users unique ways to leverage Kubernetes tools like scaling, and Tim shares stories about the evolution of some of these tools and his experiences with networking. Talking with the Kubernetes community has helped refine GKE mult-icluster tools to help companies solve real problems, and Tim tells us more about other features and updates coming with future iterations of GKE. KubeCon is in October, so come by and learn more!</span></p> <h5><strong>Tim Hockin</strong></h5> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/thockin"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tim Hockin</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is Principal Software Engineer working with Kubernetes at Google Cloud.</span></p> <h5><strong>Cool things of the week</strong></h5> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What’s new with Google Cloud</span> <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/inside-google-cloud/whats-new-google-cloud"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">blog</span></a></li> <li style="display: inline;"> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Power Your Business with Modern Cloud Apps: Strategies and Best Practices</span> <a href="https://cloudonair.withgoogle.com/events/building-cloud-app-excellence?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social_inmail&utm_campaign=FY22-Q3-global-ENTD218-onlineevent-er-b&i-cloud-native-app-dev-event=&utm_content=register_noram&utm_term=-"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">site</span></a></li> </ul> </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Securing apps for Googlers using Anthos Service Mesh</span> <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/developers-practitioners/securing-apps-googlers-using-anthos-service-mesh"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">blog</span></a></li> </ul> <h5><strong>Interview</strong></h5> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GKE</span> <a href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine"><span style="font-weight: 400;">site</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kubernetes</span> <a href="https://kubernetes.io/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">site</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anthos</span> <a href="https://cloud.google.com/anthos"><span style="font-weight: 400;">site</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Borg: The Predecessor to Kubernetes</span> <a href="https://kubernetes.io/blog/2015/04/borg-predecessor-to-kubernetes/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">blog</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Enabling multi-cluster Gateways</span> <a href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/enabling-multi-cluster-gateways"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">docs</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cloud Load Balancing</span> <a href="https://cloud.google.com/load-balancing"><span style="font-weight: 400;">site</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Multi-cluster Services</span> <a href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/multi-cluster-services"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">docs</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keynote: From One to Many, the Road to Multicluster- Kaslin Fields, Developer Advocate, Google Cloud</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5jU94TB8tI"><span style="font-weight: 400;">video</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GCP Podcast Episode 272: GKE Turns Six with Anthony Bushong, Gari Singh, and Kaslin Fields</span> <a href="https://www.gcppodcast.com/post/episode-272-gke-turns-six-with-anthony-bushong-gari-singh-and-kaslin-fields/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">podcast</span></a></li> </ul> <h5><strong>What’s something cool you’re working on?</strong></h5> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kaslin is working on</span> <a href="https://cloud.withgoogle.com/next"><span style="font-weight: 400;">NEXT</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and</span> <a href="https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-north-america/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">KubeCon</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">stuff.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anthony is working on</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIivdWyY5sqLQ3m7WJDfBdMMqO12Q0vqg"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">GKE Essentials</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and getting ready to go on leave.</span></p> <h5><strong>Hosts</strong></h5> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kaslin Fields and Anthony Bushong</span></p>
