No, I’m not crazy, and no I’m not trolling you! This is for real! No longer single-platform or closed source, Microsoft’s PowerShell Core is now an open source, full-featured, cross-platform (MacOS, Linux, more) shell sporting some serious improvements over the venerable /bin/[bash|zsh] for those souls brave enough to use it as their daily driver. I

So, you’ve heard great and wonderful things about PowerShell and now you’re seriously considering it for your day-to-day, eh? Well, good! You should! But before you drink the Kool-Aid, you’ve probably got some doubts, concerns, and questions. I’m sure one of those, lurking in the back of your mind, is something along the lines of:

This Fall, I am interning at Stark & Wayne, LLC in Buffalo, NY. Although this is my second internship, it is a lot more than I thought it would be — in the best way possible! I got the opportunity to develop skills in utilizing different UI design tools, as well as overcoming my fear

Life was great until we needed to upgrade! We had our websites and services working just fine with our certificates being upgraded automatically, and then we were forced to upgrade to a later Kubernetes release. Kubernetes 1.22 removed a few features but it should tell us if anything went wrong in the upgrade, right? We

Docker Desktop is a perfectly serviceable way to use Docker on either MacOS or Windows, but for non-trivial use cases, it leaves much to be desired. I recently happened upon one such use case that you might think would be rather common: I develop on MacOS, but since my MacBook Pro only has 16GB of

This is the fourth part of a multi–part series on designing and building non-trivial containerized solutions. We’re making a radio station using off-the-shelf components and some home-spun software, all on top of Docker, Docker Compose, and eventually, Kubernetes. In this part, we’ve got a working system, our own rebuildable images, and a portable Docker Compose

Buddhism has its Four Noble Truths. Plato had his Ideals. We’ve spent close to a decade running applications on top of the Cloud Foundry platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and here’s a few universal truths about application development and deployment that we hope you’ll bring to your next Kubernetes project. Start Strong. One of the great joys of
