For all new followers, it seems you followed me as a part of some sort a #cncf list. I don’t know why they still put me there. I thought I did my part as a #DEI back then and it’s over now, right? For more details, check this blog. medium.com/@helayoty/iv...

Kubernetes is changing one of the scheduler’s oldest assumptions: "Pod is always the right unit of scheduling". In this deep dive, we will walk through Workload-Aware Scheduling in Kubernetes, focusing on the API contract and the internals of gang scheduling. helayoty.substack.com/p/workload-a...

AI is moving the bottleneck in software teams from writing code to reviewing it. If 50% of AI-generated patches that pass tests get rejected by maintainers, the scarce resource isn't coding speed; it's judgment. Wrote a deep analysis on what this means for systems engineers 🧵 #Kubernetes #kubecon

Kubernetes is working to introduce Workload-aware scheduling to the core, which will allow users to use gang scheduling for their workloads. If you are running AI/ML or batch workload in Kubernetes, keep tracking this work.

Two years ago, I experienced an incident within the #CNCF ecosystem that exposed serious gaps in how harassment, pile-ons, and reputational attacks were handled. The systems meant to protect contributors simply weren’t there. 🧵

..accountability or cultural change. Clear rules are only meaningful if they are enforced consistently, transparently, and without selective interpretation. But they directly address the failures that became visible through my experience.

Under the framework now in place, the process, the responsibility, and the outcome would have been different. I didn’t receive an apology or acknowledgment that today’s rules would require, but that did not stop me from pushing to ensure these gaps were closed.

medium.comRetaliation Even in the OSS!Tech workers retaliation for speaking up!

The result is that contributors going forward are protected in ways I was not... What makes the difference unmistakable is the contrast between leadership and the community. CNCF management did not uphold the values the foundation claims to represent. The contributors and maintainers did 💚.

1.5 years after publishing my reflection on that experience, the CNCF is now updating its Code of Conduct and has published new FAQ guidance that finally addresses the behaviors that were allowed to escalate in my case. These standards were absent when I went through this. medium.com/@helayoty/iv...
