Hey hey Ops Community, Happy Monday again!
I hope you all had a waaaay better week than I did... After a series of unfortunate (and genuinely scary) events, I managed to rest up over the weekend and recover much of my strength, so this is gonna be a catch-up week for me. (I apologize in advance for any delayed comments that I make on your posts!). Many thanks to Patrick, Brad, and the mod team for having my back 💛
Still got that treat heading your way - let's hope this week lets me drop it! 🤞

This week, I'm working on a few different blogs about upgrading EKS, AKS, and GKE clusters. Regardless of the tool, you have to communicate internally each time. Hoping to get them done this week before heading on vacation for a few days.
Oooh, vacation is exciting!
And it's hard to overstate the importance of communicating with your team and internal stakeholders. As someone who is guilty of under-communicating, the more reminders the better (even when they're not even directed at me!).
Looking forward to reading!
