Bret is joined by Matt Williams of Infra to show off their open source project Infra, which provides easy, centralized RBAC and auth to Kubernetes and more.
Infra is a new company taking on simplifying centralized infrastructure, user authentication and permissions. Their open source tool by the same name is quite easy to start with. In this episode, Matt does a great job of explaining the pain points of Kubernetes user management, certificate distribution and revocation, and more pain points that Infra is bringing simplicity to.
Streamed live on YouTube on November 10, 2022. Includes demos.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
