Had a great chat with @cloudnativeboy.bsky.social about what's new in @inspektor-gadget.io

This is also part of a new short video series called Cloud Native Wisdom - check it out!
Inspektor Gadget is an open-source toolkit from Microsoft that collects low-level telemetry from K8s clusters, enriches it with K8s context...

With the new TCP-dump gadget, capturing network traffic with cluster metadata makes network troubleshooting far more actionable.

Over at @infoworld.bsky.social I took a deep dive into Headlamp, Kubernetes SIG-UI's latest tooling. It gives you a visual view into your clusters, pods, and nodes, and is intended to make Kubernetes as easy to manage as Windows Server. It's not there yet, but is well on its way.
Headlamp: A multicluster management UI for Kubernetes
The new, extensible UI for managing Kubernetes deployments bridges the divide between developers and platform engineers.
