Ephemeral & Preview Environments for Compose and Kubernetes

Download MP3
Bret and Nirmal are joined by Grayson Adkins and Josh Thurman on the show. They are co-founders of Uffizzi, an environments-as-a-service company for Docker Compose and Kubernetes.

We talk about ephemeral environments in all their forms. You might call them preview environments, developer environments, or pull release environments, which is my favorite way to use these environments-as-a-service.

But regardless of the many ways to use ephemeral environments,  it's great to see a growing set of tools in the cloud native community for automating the spinning up of fresh environments with Kubernetes manifests, helm charts, or even Docker Compose YAML.

Uffizzi is using the open core model, meaning that the core part of their product is open source.

Live recording of the complete show from August 24, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #231). Includes demos.
