Tweeting interesting things that I get up to at work. When I’m not at work I’m probably powerlifting.

First #KubeCon, and first talk of #OpenFeature summit ✅

[DevCycle @DevCycleHQ]

The first talk of the day is “How to Rollout an Update for a CNI Without Breaking the World Wide Web” with @mapgirll from @tigeraio, all about #featureflags in @projectcalico 🐱

@thockin You can get a “ring” light (it’s actually square) from Logitech that I have positioned next to my webcam - I find that makes a big difference in my image quality and is not very intrusive as it has a monitor mount.

Working on my birthday is a little bit sweeter knowing there’s a @MilkybarUKI chocolate mousse setting in the fridge, whisked with my new @KitchenAid_CA (@BestBuyCanada have a good sale on rn).
You know you’re definitely in your 30s when new kitchen appliances bring genuine joy.

@DaleAtSafe In case you miss me, or your fill of British culture, this might appeal to you: https://t.co/1ClOVbf4qm

@KRaymerBishop What about getting students to fact check or mark a sample of ai generated research papers? Assuming they go on to have jobs where they may use AI to do research or put content together, having knowledge of what’s truthful or not will help them review AI outputs critically.

If you want to see how to set up static egress IPs for your cluster, how you can use Azure Firewall to centralise egress controls or how to identify egress traffic - tune in!

[Jen Luther Thomas @mapgirll]

I’m doing my first webinar for @tigeraio tomorrow: “Enabling Workload-Level Security for #AKS with @Azure Firewall and #Calico Egress Gateway.”

@saltnburnem @troutgirl I actually swapped jobs this year from fully remote to in-office 2x a week. Everyone goes in the office on the same day and we get free lunch. I actually don’t mind it, but my commute isn’t bad. Being new, it was nicer to organically meet people in person.

[Jen Luther Thomas @mapgirll]

Some good discussion and insights here!
Seems like using #Kubernetes #NetworkSecurity policies are popular for orgs with a zero trust/least access posture or users managing multi-tenant clusters who need namespace isolation

@prao24 I am using 3.5, I’m on the free plan of ChatGPT. Looks like 4 is waitlisted so I can’t do another comparison!

[Jen Luther Thomas @mapgirll]

@ThreadoAI vs @ChatGPTapp for @projectcalico Global Network Policy - which #AI platform wins?

A user on @StackOverflow wanted to know why their policy was denying ALL egress traffic when they’d only denied 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2. I wanted to know if #AI could figure it out! 🧵/1

[Jen Luther Thomas @mapgirll]

@ChatGPTapp @ThreadoAI @projectcalico Overall very good experience with @ThreadoAI! Great answers, good explanations for the answers and sources.
Admittedly it was trained specifically on @projectcalico content, but impressive nonetheless 🧵/end

[Jen Luther Thomas @mapgirll]

@ChatGPTapp @ThreadoAI @projectcalico Second question: asking both tools to generate the correct policy. @ChatGPTapp needed specific prompts to get the rules right.
🏆 @ThreadoAI takes the win for having no trouble with my prompts, and generated @projectcalico GlobalNetworkSet and GlobalNetworkPolicy. /3

[Jen Luther Thomas @mapgirll]

I’m back with my second post 🥹
Find out how I used #kubernetes #observability to quickly #troubleshoot and fix an issue that took weeks when I was supporting #FMEFlow (I had no idea observability was a thing back then, or how powerful it is)

@kennethfield @googlemaps That explains it!
I opened @googlemaps in @MicrosoftEdge and thought they’d tricked me into using @bingmaps because it didn’t look right.

[Jen Luther Thomas @mapgirll]

Earned a badge from @KubeCampus today while checking out how @kastenhq do their @instruqt labs (and testing my #kubernetes skills in the process)

[Jen Luther Thomas @mapgirll]

Does anyone know the best geocoded postcode datasets for Canada? Commercial or OS.

[Jen Luther Thomas @mapgirll]

@BostonLogan @AmericanAir @Hilton what’s the best contact for lost and found?
I’ve lost/left my favourite @Arcteryx jacket Sunday morning somewhere between @HiltonHotels Boston Airport and the gate for the BOS-DFW Sunday at ~5.30AM 😭😭

[Jen Luther Thomas @mapgirll]

Very grateful to work somewhere that approved my time off request and was supportive/invested in me surprising my mum for a day in Boston, even though I hadn’t accrued enough PTO yet.
Well worth it!
