Hello and welcome beautiful people,

thank you so much for reading another one of my weekly DevOps newsletters. I hope you have/will have a fabulous day.

Winter is here and with it comes, soon a new year. I have been reflecting a lot on my previous year, everything that happened, everything that changed, everything I, or the people around me accomplished. It is often difficult to rememeber all the positives that happened and how far you have come — so I decided to make a "Star Board ⭐" on which I post all of the kind messages that this amazing community is sharing with me. Thank you for making my year so special.

And now to this week's newsletter: We have lots of amazing events, comprehensive cloud native courses, open source repositories to contribute to, and of course lots of articles and tutorials!

Enjoy 🎉
