I'm very excited about Docker Model Runner! - Local LLMs directly on host GPUs via the Docker CLI/API It's early days, but this could be huge. I've got some good discussion going on on my LinkedIn post if you want to join the conversation... www.linkedin.com/posts/nigelp...

I'm about to publish the 2025 edition of *The Kubernetes Book* and I've taken a punt on who will be this season's English Premier League champions 🤷

Curious if anyone's using restartable initContainers as sidecars in #Kubernetes?

Yes mate. Loved them. Realised I'd already read (listened to) Daemon, but read it again 👍👍

Ugh... Russia fining Google more money than exists in the entire world is yet more evidence we're witnessing the balkanising of the internet and heading into a new cold war with the same old political blocs building their own information networks, and importantly and dangerously, their own AIs. #AI

A few years ago I wrote a book to help as many people as possible learn Kubernetes... To see it listed as a best-seller and with 1,500 reviews is genuinely mind blowing. Thank you soooo much to everyone who's taken the time to leave a review 👊👊

Just finished Star Trek Picard Wow. Just wow! As someone who grew up on Star Trek TNG, this was simply the best television I've ever seen. 👏👏👏

Yes true. But i think containers and microservices are synonymous for most and required a ton of effort, as is the case for any meaningful change. Same goes for WebAssembly on the server i think 🤷

I didn't attend a single session or keynote at #KubeConEU But... i net sooooo many wonderful people. This guy, Alain, drove home and brought me two gifts when he learned i liked Star Trek. What a great human being!

I was blown away at KubeCon by these two amazing people who lined up for an hour to be the first in line for signed copies of the Klingon and Starfleet editions of "The Kubernetes Book"

I think I'd say Wasm *currently* has limitations... i expect a bunch of that to change. Re Docker. Hmmm... i think refactoring apps as microservices was massively disruptive. So I'm still feeling the similarities.

You know you're obsessing a bit too much about #WebAssembly and associated projects when your extended family buys you a custom #runwasi mug ❤️👍💪🤓

For me, it feels like the early days of Docker where everything was so nascent but full of potential. Potential to be that next wave, or potential to go down as nothing more than a footnote 🤷👍
