Time for another blog post! Last week I gave my first in-person talk at a conference since 2017 and I've written a little about the experience

Still one of my favourite talks I've seen. Just the right amount of chaos.
Last year's session from James Laverack on all about building an application-specific container image builder, and still very relevant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAgxyyL-7LI&list=PLX3geWFOgXozI22F1ONrrKuBDs6iTx-ti&index=18&pp=iAQB
Building an Application-Specific Container Image Builder| James Laverack
The ecosystem contains many generic container image builders such as Dockerfiles and Apko, plus ones specialised for particular ecosystems such as Jib (Java)...

My talk at @containerdays.bsky.social this week was on Kubernetes and post exploitation. I've had a couple of requests for a companion blog post, so here it is. The post looks at some things attackers might do in clusters they've compromised to retain access.

Well my talk got accepted so it looks like I'll be speaking at @cloudnativebergen.dev about Cluster API and how it helps you to manage cluster lifecycle 🥳

Hey @octopus.energy, what's up with the change to Octoplus free drink codes recently? It's impossible to get one now (even if I check very early in the morning).
