2020 Projects

Inspired by Scott Lowe I am posting my list of projects/goals for 2020. These are the skills I’d like to improve on this year.

  1. Learn To Program Kubernetes Using Go. I’ve been working with Kubernetes for a couple of years now. I’d like to start going beyond the traditional infra/sysadmin/platform engineer knowledge of k8s. My goal is to learn how to program k8s using Go Lang. I need to learn things like client-go, kube builder, operator-sdk, and create kubectl plugins.

  2. Learn eBPF. I’d like to improve my production troubleshooting and debugging skills. eBPF or just BPF is a new Linux kernel feature that allows very deep dive production troubleshooting.

  3. Start Learning AI/ML. This one is pretty far outside my comfort zone. I’d like to use Python to start learning the fundamentals of AI and ML. This one is going to be a challenge for me.

  4. Start Playing Cello Again. Its been roughly 11 years since I’ve played cello. I think it is time to start playing again.
