Check out the soon-to-be-published whitepaper on the Challenges of Cloud Native Telco Transformation today and how to overcome them from the CSP's perspective. It's in review now in the #cloudnative #telecom (CNF) Working Group
This is a breath of fresh air.

After @freshbooks changed their billing plans, they threw some customers, including my company @vulkcoop, into new plans that were a bad match resulting in large monthly expense increases (more than 3x for us). Unfriendly behavior for a company trying to make billing nicer.

#k8s is not the most widely used #cloudnative platform/framework implementation because it is the best technology. It is because the community and projects support choice and expansion through open APIs, transparent discussion, and strong vendor-neutral interoperability and usage

#bestpratices based on community patterns + practices using #open APIs, #opensource software and that show how to operate and implement software natively in the environment, have a stronger chance of getting wide support which strengthens them through more testing & contributors

Building from the ground op means you have broader community buy-in from the start. It means you are working transparently, in the open, and your standards are based on working software and APIs.

The intention is to increase #opensource ground-up #interoperability testing, compatibility, and open standards. This is good for the creators and consumers both across the community by supporting the goal of #automation, #integration, and flexible #choice.

We made it 🎉 It looks like a small thing, it is a small thing, but… it took huge bureaucratic effort to enable it. Nevertheless, it would be great to see more institutional endusers supporting independent #opensource through feature like GitHub Sponsors! @kube_vip @P_Ensarguet

Nika Shakarami, 17, was arrested during #IranProtests after burning her headscarf. After a week security forces delivered her dead body to her family w/ her nose fully smashed & her skull broken with multiple blows. Outrage over her murder is now adding fuel to fire of protests.

The Texas Senate has passed a bill to eliminate a requirement that public schools teach that the Ku Klux Klan is “morally wrong.” That same bill dropped studying Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech as a curriculum requirement huffpost.com/entry/texas-sen…
