Am I me? Are you you? The existential crisis of containers, not of Camus, and SPIFFE
Grade 9 French. Assigned Albert Camus’ “L’Étranger” to read. We all came back as one and had understood the words but not the meaning.

Ceph in the city: introducing my local Kubernetes to my ‘big’ Ceph cluster

There’s different ways to expand: scale out (add more of the same) and scale up (make the same things bigger). Normally in cloud you are focused on scale-out, but, well, you need big enough pieces to…
