Can't wait to ship this one: being able to mount the file systems of Kubernetes nodes, pods & PVCs to the Finder.

Kubernetes on... a car?

A screen in an Audi A4 running Apple CarPlay, showing two widgets, one with a donut chart rendering the pod statuses of a Kubernetes cluster and another one with a line chart rendering the cluster's CPU utilization as time series. The widgets are generated by Nautik, a Kubernetes GUI native to Apple platforms, that I'm the main developer of.

That was surprisingly hard, but here we go. Kubernetes on the Apple Watch!

Just launched Kubernetes on visionOS!

Finally, Kubernetes in space!
