🙌 My next course is coming soon! I've opened the waitlist for those wanting to go deep in GitHub Actions for DevOps and AI automation in 2025. I'm so thrilled to announce this course. The waitlist allows you to quickly sign up for some content updates, discounts, and more as I finish building the course.

Bret and his guests - Jamie Duncan and John Osborne, authors of "OpenShift in Action" - talk about Enterprise Kubernetes adoption, the barriers teams encounter and why it's worth solving the hard problems in enterprise teams by standardizing on Kubernetes.

Jamie is a customer engineer at Google Cloud and John is chief architect at RedHat. In this episode, we talk a lot about Kubernetes as the new common non-vendor specific infrastructure API. Streamed live on YouTube on March 3, 2022.
