Two But Rule by John Wolpert [Book Discussion]

This episode is one of our book club episodes starring John Walpole, who wrote the Two But Rule, which is very tongue in cheek while also very serious about momentum thinking and using a negative bouncy discussion pattern.


I like to think of it as a bouncy discussion pattern to really explore ideas and drive ideation in a positive way by asking and challenging people’s ideas in a constructive way.

The Kubernetes Alternate Universe

What would our systems look like if we didn’t have Kubernetes?

We started this discussion with platform engineering and its associated challenges. In talking about platforms, we covered ways in which people can consume infrastructure more effectively. That segwayed directly into ways in which Kubernetes could be changed under the covers, used for virtualization use for non traditional containerized automation.

This episode is a pretty thorough review of alternatives to Kubernetes, and the ways in which Kubernetes misses the mark.
