#265: The worlds of Kubernetes and GitOps are constantly evolving, each iteration bringing us closer to a more streamlined, efficient, and powerful way of managing and deploying our software architectures. Kubernetes has become the cornerstone of container orchestration, offering an unmatched level of flexibility and scalability. Meanwhile, GitOps practices are revolutionizing how we view and implement CI/CD pipelines, emphasizing a declarative way to manage infrastructure and applications.

As the Kubernetes landscape matures, clear winners in each category, such as Cilium for CNI and CertManager for certificate management, are emerging, streamlining the selection process for Kubernetes tooling. This maturation leads to a consolidation of best practices and tools, analogous to the evolution observed in Linux distributions. While diversity in tools offers flexibility, a certain level of standardization is necessary for broader adoption and ease of use.

In this episode, we talk with John Dietz, CEO and Cofounder of Kubefirst, about a potential future where Kubernetes becomes an unseen yet omnipresent force in software development.
