An important reminder when using `port-forward` with Kubernetes.
If you run something like `kubectl port-forward svc/service_name portnumber:port:number`
You're bringing the traffic from the Kubernetes to your local computer.

I updated KoaPerf to include:
1. AWS Support! You can get recommendations for containerized apps running in AWS now.
2. A better UI (more visually appealing)

Figuring out the workflow of how environments should be deployed, managed, and most importantly, what should be deployed and managed is the make or break.

After planning and deploying a Kubernetes environment, you're left with:
✅ Performance optimization
✅ Monitoring and observability
✅ Upgrades
and a few other specifics that are necessary to ensure k8s is running as expected.

✅ Proper planning and architecture
✅ Security
✅ Teamwork
Ensure you know exactly what's being deployed, managed, and by whom.

Wasm gives DevOps and Platform Engineers true Distributed Systems.
You have the ability to not care where your app is running.
1. Build your application
2. Build a Component (made up of a WIT)
3. Compile it down to Wasm

Alright, so this is rather interesting and why fine-tuning or creating a RAG is necessary.
This agent has a clear, defined job: Tell me the best region to deploy k8s workloads to based on cost and performance.

Just a heads up -
If you're implementing Azure Local, you'll see the OS download called "Azure Stack HCI".
That's because Azure Stack HCI is the predecessor.
It's all officially now Azure Local.

What an amazing way to start off the New Year 🚀
Really excited to announce that I’m officially a Microsoft MVP!
Thank you to everyone who’s supported me over the years because without you this wouldn’t be possible.
Thank you to Microsoft for the recognition.

I was close to having something viable to pull Models in Go, but... I don't see it as a working formula (unless I build the library myself).
Python still appears to be the leader in Machine Learning/AI.

Step 2: Train the Model
Step 3: Containerize the Model so I can scale it later.

This is interesting.
I have to test this out, but I think this means only one GPU is currently supported per cluster.
Or maybe they're referring to per Worker Node when they seem "instance".
Either way, that doesn't allow a lot of scalability.
