This article goes through how to deploy preview environments on Kubernetes with GitHub Actions.

In the next two weeks, there will not be a new issue of the newsletter because of the different conferences happening. Worry not my dearest reader, I will be knee deep getting you resources and tales that will make you smile at least for a moment.

The word of the day is volatile. Volatile means easily changeable, unstable, or likely to become violent. Example in a sentence: The stock market can be very volatile, with prices fluctuating rapidly.

Watch out over the horizon for the next issue. I hope to return unscathed from the pirate-infested areas without walking the plank…Until we meet again, me hearties!
