I am looking for devtest k8s solutions (thread)
• local dev k8s env - preferably 2 worker nodes (used KIND and MiniKube, but these are default 1-node solutions)
• BYIK self hosted - e.g. rke2, microK8s, k3s, Kubespray, kubeadm
• Manging VMs (like opensource free vmware) - e.g. proxmox, oVirt, MicroCloud? (openstack looks too complex)

Although I've been busy converting all my Microsoft SQL Server RDS databases to hot new X2m instances, based on x2iedn 🧐 technology, I did come across an interesting piece of AWS trivia and a useful announcement:


"AWS Management Console Private Access now works without internet connectivity"
aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/06/aws-management-console-private
The headline is confusing but if you have AWS VPN connectivity you can now access the console entirely on the private network. A VPC endpoint for static assets (JavaScript, CSS, images) was missing at launch in May, 2023.


"AWS announces AWS Workload Credentials Provider"
aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/06/aws-workload-credentials-provider
This is an alternative to the Vault Agent, a replacement for the Secrets Manager Agent, and a way to avoid brittle scripts. Community Builder Ashish Kasaudhan (whom I don't know) has written one of the first articles with examples,

There was one link we forgot to post this week. It's an episode of Adventures in DevOps episodes we mentioned.

The podcast epi is here: https://adventuresindevops.com/episodes/275-disaster-recovery-resiliency-in-the-cloud

https://x.com/jsrailton/status/2064661778978533571?s=46&t=hxmjEyu5OyUbWbc_cO5EPQ this is rather brilliant/sneaky.

NEW: malware developers added nuclear & biological weapons text to to their spyware.

Goal? To trigger LLM safety refusals... so that their spyware wouldn't be analyzed by an AI security scanner.
