DevOps Round-Up CW16

DevOps articles, tools, events, and links I came across last week

Events

I am still not sure if I am comfortable with visiting an on site event this year. But nevertheless, interesting events are gaining traction again.

Interesting are the DevOps Days Zurich (30.05.-01.06.)

Dream location for me would be the ArgoCon taking place in San Francisco this September

• FSA-Flux Subsystem for Argo: “FSA’s container image can be used as a drop-in replacement for the equivalent ArgoCD version.” This sounds very interesting, I have to try that one out.
