Cloud native with Saiyam - Acceleration edition!

Jul 15, 2022

Hello everyone! For the past few months, I have been working on this new community Kubesimplify that I created to simplify cloud native for everyone.

Now Kubesimplify gives you access to discord, mini projects, mentorship, blogging opportunity with editorial learning, and Live workshops!

The Live workshops are actually the newest initiative where the intention is to bring the industry experts and give hands-on workshops on a particular topic. I have curated these workshops as a sequence so that you can learn with a flow and accelerate your DevOps learning. So even if you wasted half of your year and want to make the most out of the remaining year then go for these live workshops, attend them, practice and grow your skills.

Apart from this I also did

KCD Africa - This was crazy as I went in as an attendee to support my fellow cloud native friends and became a spontaneous speaker. I gave an end-to-end presentation plus a demo on ArgoCD on Civo Kubernetes. You can watch my recording here
Sysdig Webinar on CKS - With the new exam terminal, I thought it would be great to do this webinar and cover the new exam environment with the CKS exam overview, Tips'tricks, and Demo.

My Upcoming talks

Kubernetes Workshop - Complete hands-on Kubernetes workshop
Civo Webinar - various Kubernetes dashboards
Hashiconf global in LA - I will be doing a talk: A Mini-PaaS for Developers With Waypoint. I am so glad that I have one of the featured talks <3
DevOpsDays India - Happy to be one of the organizers and this will happen in person in Bengaluru, get your CFP’s in!!

Kubesimplify Updates

Since we have shifted our core focus to work towards Quality content we are working on something amazing for the community - Yes this is separate from the workshops :D We will not stop innovating and bringing new things to the community. Make sure to join Kubesimplify discord and be part of this revolution of simplifying cloud native for everyone! We also crossed 100k views on our blogs:)
