On 3 Feb I'll be presenting my experiences running a #K8s cluster "in de meterkast" at of the tenth edition of #cfgmgmtcamp.
This is not the first time i'm doing this talk, so my feelings about presenting changed from "Can I do this?" to "Can I still do this?". cfgmgmtcamp.org/ghent2025/

I didn't know I was taking part in a raffle when I did the SimOps certification, imagine my surprise when I found out I was a winner. And if you didn't do the HPC certification yet, I can recommend it as it is a good Introduction to HPC.
