Welcome,
Summer is here (at least Europe has been burning hot), and I hope you are finding ways to stay cool. Maybe this newsletter can provide you with some summer reading. We have tutorials on writing operators, CSI plugins, monitoring the security of operators, more Kubernetes courses, GitHub repositories with tools you need to know and lots more exciting content. Have a great week 😊
