GKE: service to service zonal affinity when crossing the cluster boundary.
Since Topology Aware Routing only works within the bounds of the cluster, we explore a new option in GKE to achieve zonal affinity.

I said I 3d printed a potato, and here's the prototype version. Definitely needs a redo with a smaller nozzle, probably a different base color filament, different support setup, etc. But it sure works for a prototype.

It’s a twist on conventional word ladders — instead of changing one letter at each step, you’re changing the entire word based on a clue. But it’s up to you to determine which clue to use.

Use KHI to drive your MTTR down to zero!
It’s pretty cool to be able to visualize how your K8s objects change over time. Makes it super easy to figure out what went wrong, when, and what client made the change.
