Pulumi is infrastructure as code, allowing developers to use whatever language they are comfortable with to create and test infrastructure. Kat walks us through typical Pulumi infrastructure test scenarios to demonstrate the benefits of this software, especially with GCP.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the new Kubernetes release, one of the biggest updates is the removal of Dockershim. If you’re using a managed Kubernetes service through GCP, this update should not affect you, Kat tells us. She clears up some common Docker misconceptions and tells us how Kubernetes and Docker still work together. Kat describes the situations where this update might affect certain projects and how to tell if you’re one of the unlucky few.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Later, we talk about the future of tech conferences. Kat is excited to get back to some in-person learning and networking, but at the same time, is hopeful that conferences will continue a hybrid model and allow some online interaction. Pulumi will be at KubeCon, Devlopsdays, and Jfokus in the next few months with some cool new free merchandise.</span></p> <h5><strong>Kat Cosgrove</strong></h5> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/Dixie3Flatline"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kat</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is Staff Developer Advocate at Pulumi.</span></p> <h5><strong>Cool things of the week</strong></h5> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Find products faster with the new All products page</span> <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/developers-practitioners/find-products-faster-new-all-products-page"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">blog</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Introducing Ephemeral Containers</span> <a href="https://opensource.googleblog.com/2022/01/Introducing%20Ephemeral%20Containers.html"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">blog</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Open sourcing the App Engine Standard Java runtime</span> <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/developers-practitioners/open-sourcing-app-engine-standard-java-runtime"> <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;">Pulumi</span> <a href="https://www.pulumi.com/"><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;">Docker</span> <a href="https://www.docker.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">site</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kubernetes 1.24 Release Notes</span> <a href="https://www.kubernetes.dev/resources/release/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">site</span></a></li> <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;">We Didn’t Start the Fire: Communication Breakdowns and How to Prevent Them - Ian Coldwater, Twilio & Kat Cosgrove, JFrog</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a03Hh1kd6KE"><span style="font-weight: 400;">video</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jfokus</span> <a href="https://www.jfokus.se/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">site</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Devopsdays Chicago</span> <a href="https://devopsdays.org/events/2022-chicago/welcome/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">site</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">KubeCon EU Valencia</span> <a href="https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">site</span></a></li> </ul> <h5><strong>What’s something cool you’re working on?</strong></h5> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brian just started releasing the next</span> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIivdWyY5sqIteZONy-rTwyf3w3OddFQ1"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">six episodes of VMs End-to-end</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.
