Marcus is a platform engineer at Monzo, a UK bank dedicated to making money work for everyone, a Civo Ambassador and a CNCF Ambassador. His main area of focus in recent years has been around Go, Kubernetes, containers and DevOps but originally started out as a web developer and JavaScript enthusiast. A self-described “tinkerer”, when not building Kubernetes solutions, Marcus likes to dabble with 3D printing and experimenting with smart home tech.
I’m sure we all agree, Kubernetes is amazing. But sometimes, it’s also… confusing. That’s why Marcus and Márk are here to deliver a brutally honest (and thoroughly entertaining) deep dive into the “Kube-Oddities” - those baffling decisions, peculiar behaviors, and downright WTF moments that make this platform so uniquely interesting.
Let’s ditch the sales pitches and feature announcements. We’re diving down the rabbit hole. We’ll explore the weirdness surrounding sidecars, the baffling behavior of image tags, and the downright confusing default behavior of Pod DNS.
This isn’t a technical lecture, it’s a fun chat among friends, a shared experience of frustration and occasional triumph. Join Marcus and Márk as they unpack the quirks that keep you constantly questioning, and hopefully, leave you with a deeper appreciation (and a slightly more skeptical eye) for the world of Kubernetes. Prepare for laughter, head-scratching, and maybe just a few ‘WTF?’ moments.
