🙌 My next course is coming soon! I've opened the waitlist for those wanting to go deep in GitHub Actions for DevOps and AI automation in 2025. I'm so thrilled to announce this course. The waitlist allows you to quickly sign up for some content updates, discounts, and more as I finish building the course. https://learn.bretfisher.com/waitlist🍾
Bret is joined by Matt Williams of Infra to show off their open source project Infra, which provides easy, centralized RBAC and auth to Kubernetes and more.
Infra is a new company taking on simplifying centralized infrastructure, user authentication and permissions. Their open source tool by the same name is quite easy to start with. In this episode, Matt does a great job of explaining the pain points of Kubernetes user management, certificate distribution and revocation, and more pain points that Infra is bringing simplicity to.
Streamed live on YouTube on November 10, 2022. Includes demos.
