  • Considering I am the operations team, just goes to show how much I have left to learn. I didn’t know about the external-dns operator.

I really liked that the big giants like Google and IBM collaborated for k8s. I believe Uber has done something wonderful for the FOSS community too but I don’t remember what it is. The fact is that they can if they try
