Cloud native with Saiyam - the M1 Max edition!!
Hello everyone, how is life treating you? I am writing this newsletter from Dubai! Yes, I decided to take the first ever vacation with my family in Dubai to relax and spend sometime with myself. Burnouts can lead to less productivity and I did not wanted to fall into the zone where instead of doing more, I end up doing even less. So if you get a chance, do take a moment to take sometime off and relax to recharge yourself.
Finally I was able to get my M1 max machine and I am totally loving it!
After KubeCon, now it's the time to accelerate and create more useful stuff for the community. I have been planning a few things in form of videos, blogs and workshops for which you will start to see the announcements soon.
I am glad to announce that I have been highlighted as a featured speaker for Hashiconf Global conference that will be happening in LA.
Lets have a look at the awesome stuff happening in the cloud native space!
Kubesimplify updates
We have published 15 blogs and got over 23k+ view since the last edition of this newsletter. There is a new mini project of a CLI creation starting soon so make sure to join the discord if you want to get the hands on experience with your learnings.
