😇 My new GitHub Security workshop has launched! A free 2-hour workshop with hands-on labs to harden your repos and your workflows from common supply chain attacks. I'll cover how attackers are getting in, and then we'll lock down a sample repo so you know what needs to be done to protect your code. You'll leave with a deep understanding of risks and mitigations as well as a list of helpful tools to keep your repos safe, including my new "gasa" tool for scanning your repos and orgs.

Alex Chalkias of the Canonical MicroK8s project joins Bret and they dive into this easy and powerful Kubernetes distribution that had some major updates in 2020, including high availability. Since the interview, the open-source community around Microk8s has been releasing versions regularly, including keeping the Kubernetes versions up to date and continuing to add new add-ons to their one-line install list. It's getting quite impressive at this point, including kata containers, open EBS, and the KEDA (Kubernetes Event-driven Autoscaling) event-driven auto-scaling. Streamed live on YouTube on November 12, 2020, Ep 101.
