#18 DevOps Diary: Kubernetes and Community Resources

Welcome beautiful people!

I hope you all have an amazing Sunday! Before diving into this week's content, I want to share with you a video (and post) that I just published today on Developer Evangelism. It is based on a question that I got asked 2 years ago: Where do I see myself in 3 years?

The answer to that question still drives my current work and is the reason I love sending out these newsletters every week!  🥰

Let's move on to today's content, focused on DevSecOps! (Remember, like always, none of this is sponsored content.)

Community 👥

1. Aqua has an amazing Podcast on Security-related topics from across the cloud native space.
2. Now if you cannot get enough from cloud-native tools, updates, and how-tos, I highly recommend you to check-out Adrian Goins' Coffee and Cloud Native show!

Book Picks Of The Week 📚

1. I am currently reading this book "Learning Helm" by three of the Helm core-maintainers Matt Butcher, Matt Farina, and Josh Dolitsky. It just got published. If you are interested in video content, my previous videos of #100DaysOfKubernetes include tips and explanations from the book (in my own words). If you are looking for paid learning resources around Helm, I'd highly recommend this book over any course! 🙌🏼
2. Up next on my reading list is this book "Container Security" by Liz Rice; will share more on my journey through the book soon! 😊
