Author:Frederico Muñoz (SAS Institute) Learning Kubernetes and the entire ecosystem of technologies around it is not without its challenges.In this interview, we will talk with Carlos Santana (AWS) to learn a bit more about how he created the Kubernetes Book Club, how it works, and how anyone can join in to take advantage of a community-based learning experience. Frederico Muñoz (FSM):Hello Carlos, thank you so much for your availability.To start with, could you tell us a bit about yourself? Carlos Santana

Author: Kevin Hannon (Red Hat) A common issue in running/operating Kubernetes clusters is running out of disk space.When the node is provisioned, you should aim to have a good amount of storage space for your container images and running containers.The container runtime usually writes to /var.This can be located as a separate partition or on the root filesystem.CRI-O, by default, writes its containers and images to /var/lib/containers, while containerd writes its containers and images to /var/lib/containerd.

Author:Jeffrey Ying (Google), Antoine Pelisse (Google) Before Kubernetes v1.8 (!), typos, mis-indentations or minor errors in YAMLs could have catastrophic consequences (e.g.a typo like forgetting the trailing s in replica:1000 could cause an outage, because the value would be ignored and missing, forcing a reset of replicas back to 1).This was solved back then by fetching the OpenAPI v2 in kubectl and using it to verify that fields were correct and present before applying.Unfortunately, at that time, Custom Resource Definitions didn’t exist, and the code was written under
