A Sync Loop Is Not a Handshake: Keeping External Systems in Lockstep with Kubernetes | Ronak Nathani

At KubeCon this week—looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces in the hallway track! Come say if you’re around. 👋

We don’t use Kubernetes in the traditional sense at LinkedIn—we treat it as a foundational building block for pod orchestration and tailored infrastructure APIs.

This episode is a real treat- @ahmet.dev and @ronaknathani.bsky.social of @linkedin.com share lessons from running Kubernetes in production! Learn about the custom tools they've built for running Stateful workloads, how many clusters is the right number, & more! kubernetespodcast.com/episode/249-...
