Started this because configuring Fabric8 for EKS was driving me crazy. Building a client that auto-detects your environment (IAM roles, profiles, local configs) so you don't have to wire it all up manually. Still pretty early and building for EKS right now.

Gnoseed▲5Hi everybody, I created my personal weekend project Gnoseed to learn more about Kubernetes with spaced repetition. Very soon it evolved into a small library of various topics about modern tech stack - AI/LLMs, DevOps, Security, and anything I found interesting. Currently it has 47 decks and ~4000 questions. A bit more about the process: I create decks from the open documentations or free papers I found here or there. The decks are built with a custom made pipeline of skills to extract the data, select questions, creating distractors and verification. I'm curating the entire process. To…

Hey HN! I wanted to share an open-source project I’ve been working on called k8sAI. It’s a personal AI Kubernetes expert that can answer questions about your cluster, suggests commands, and even executes relevant kubectl commands to help diagnose and suggest fixes to your cluster, all in the CLI! As a relative newcomer to k8s, this tool has really streamlined my workflow. I can ask questions about my cluster, k8sAI will run kubectl commands to gather info, and then answer those question. It’s also found several issues in my cluster for me - all I’ve had to do is point it in the right…
