Tech Talks #54

Kubernetes and containers are the building blocks of a modern cloud infrastructure and de-facto the standard for deploying, managing and orchestrating applications at scale.

How many things can go wrong? 💣

More than you can think about!

Let's take 30 minutes together to go trough 10 common mistakes on using Kubernetes and containers and how to avoid them.

In this informal, interactive talk, Jason walks through some of the highlights of his command-line experience:

• Introduction to xonsh, a Python-based shell inspired by bash. Have you ever wondered why you have two different languages when working with your default shell versus your Python shell? Ever pondered using Python as your main interactive shell? xonsh answers this question by providing a production-ready shell that's portable and re-uses the language constructs and libraries you've come to love. Jason shows off the shell and how it's integrated into his working environment.
• Next, Jason introduces pip-run and pipx, two complementary tools for lightweight command-line tooling built on Python packages.
• Finally, Jason will provide a quick update on the recent changes in the Python Packaging ecosystem around PEP 517 and 518, distutils, pkg_resources, and answer questions about packaging.
