In this month's Developer Spotlight, I spoke with Somtochi Onyekwere from Fly for The Consensus.
She's contributed to Kubernetes itself, Kubernetes projects at Weaveworks, and now works on distributed databases at Fly.
There is no paywall, I hope you enjoy hearing from her!

Honestly, OCI is the only way to do GitOps. I always wished WeaveWorks called it CommitOps, because I think it translates better.
OCI is the piece that handles distribution, commits handle transitions.
Also makes it even viable with a monorepo, which is important to me too.

Feeling a bit of a nostalgia for the days when I joined a Kubernetes slack and it was just a few thousands in 2015… I also recall observing how fast it was growing and making a case to Weaveworks leadership.
Anyone remember the #google-containers (did I get the name right?) channel on Freenode?

Eksctl is a standalone tool for managing Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) clusters on AWS that was created by Weaveworks. It is not an in-house AWS tool but they do offer instructions and support on using it. (2/3)
