Cloud native with Saiyam - The first 100k video story
I just hit a huge milestone, my Kubernetes 101 workshop video hit 200k+ views, and I am so happy that it was on this video!
A video scoring the 100k mark on a YouTube channel is vast, IMO, and I am thankful for all your support <3. I started this channel when Covid was just hit and was one of the few to start the cloud native YouTube channel. Over the years, we have grown organically and created some great content, including excellent live streams(Knative series, CI/CD series and many more). I got videos on some of the technologies and tools that were first of their kind, and no content was out there when I published that. Now also, people watch my 1-2 year-old video and create content out of it, which is fantastic.
Kubesimplify workshops were something I wanted to bring to the audience with the best learning and hands-on experience - 1000's $$$ workshops FREE of cost. You people greatly appreciated that, and we have more than 50% of the workshops with each over 20k+ views, which is massive!
I have huge plans for 2023; keep spreading the love, and trust me, 2023 will be epic in terms of the quality content I will bring on my/Kubesimplify Youtube Channel.
Before reading further, care to subscribe to the channel and also to this newsletter if you are reading this online :)
My work:
Rancher 2.7 deep dive - Rancher is a complete management platform for Kubernetes, recently they released version 2.7 and I create the only video on Rancher 2.7 ;)
Supply chain security - The first steps - supply chain security wins the hot topic of the year 2022 so I have to put out what it actually means in simple terms and for that, you need to watch this video.
Introducing Cloudnative Stories - started a new series on Kubesimplify where we will be taking short interviews to form experts whenever we go to any conference.
My upcoming Conferences/Talks
Civo Navigate - I am trying hard to make this the best technology conference so you need to be there to experience it.
Now let’s get to the fantastic content by the community.
Kubesimplify Updates
We are super excited to announce that we have teamed up with KodeKloud and got free access to the platform for Kubesimplify Ambassadors who are driving this community with passion.
