My wife complains about constantly being sexually harassed at work….
I told her she can stop working from home and go back to the office if she doesn’t like it
KUBERNETES ROLLING UPDATES :
You deployed a new version in production today, Thousands of users kept using the application.
Nobody saw an error page.
Nobody noticed the deployment.
Not because nothing changed.
Because Kubernetes replaced the old pods one by one, only after the new ones proved they were healthy.
By the time the last old pod disappeared, the entire application was running the new version.
That's a ROLLING UPDATE.
Understand how pods gradually replaces one by one in the video below
Using AWS for the first time? Do these things instead of just watching tutorials:
• Launch an EC2 instance
• Connect using a PEM key (avoid browser EC2 connect at first)
• Install apps, break things, fix things, understand Linux basics
• Attach an EBS volume, create partitions, mount it, and explore storage
• Create an S3 bucket
• Host a static website on it
• Understand public access, bucket policies, and object storage
• Launch an RDS database
• Connect it with EC2
• Run SQL queries and understand how managed databases work
Also explore these basic AWS services:
• IAM → create users, roles, and policies
• VPC → understand subnets, route tables, internet gateways
• CloudWatch → monitor logs and metrics
• Load Balancer → distribute traffic between servers
• Auto Scaling → automatically handle traffic spikes
• Route 53 → learn DNS and domain routing
• Lambda → run serverless functions
• CloudFront → understand CDN and caching
• SNS & SQS → basics of messaging and queues
Best way to learn AWS is by building, breaking, and fixing things yourself
If you’re in the UK 🇬🇧, kindly take note.
I just finished speaking to someone now on the phone who was denied Post study visa in the UK 🇬🇧.
What happened?
He said “home office sent him an email that he worked more than 20 hours in a company”.
He was given some few days to respond to the allegations and when he responded, his post study visa was denied.
He explained to me that the company use to pay it to his account details without using his NIN though he said he suspect some Ghanaians who are full staffs in the company might have reported to home office.
At the moment, he has been given 14 days to leave the UK 🇬🇧. Therefore company is under serious investigation as well by the home office.
One thing is certain, he’s leaving UK 🇬🇧 this week 💔💔💔.
As an international students in the UK 🇬🇧, DON’T WORK MORE THAN 20 HOURS. A word is enough for the wise.
This is probably one of the best channels on United. I’d urge United fans to give it a follow.
Steve and the team give better insight than most and deserve some recognition.
Nginx became popular in the monolith + reverse proxy era.
But modern infra changed everything:
- microservices
- service meshes
- east-west traffic
- gRPC
- dynamic service discovery
- advanced retries/load balancing
- zero trust networking
That's where Envoy shines.
Envoy is basically built for cloud-native distributed systems from day one.
Things Envoy does extremely well:
> Service-to-service communication
> Dynamic config updates
> Traffic shifting
> mTLS
> Retries + circuit breaking
> Deep observability
> gRPC support
> Kubernetes/service mesh integrations
This is why tools like Istio use Envoy underneath.
Nginx is still amazing and simpler for many workloads.
But if you're learning modern platform engineering, service meshes, or large-scale infra, understanding Envoy is becoming very valuable.

Perliks got up from his seat to check this contestant’s toes to see if he had done a pedicure. After seeing them, he instantly concluded the guy was LAPO — without asking a single question. 😂💔
Siraheem, Ireti, and Perliks were invited to a show to spot LAPO and NEPO babies.
