Bret and Nirmal are joined by Grayson Adkins and Josh Thurman on the show. They are co-founders of Uffizzi, an environments-as-a-service company for Docker Compose and Kubernetes.? This episode is brought to you by our valued sponsor and friends at Veritas!?Have you thought about the potential risks to your Kubernetes cluster in this era of sophisticated ransomware? Veritas offers unparalleled resilience for stateful Kubernetes applications, providing high availability and robust data protection. Learn how to fortify your business-critical applications with Veritas at https://vrt.as/kubernetes.We talk about ephemeral environments in all their forms. You might call them preview environments, developer environments, or pull release environments, which is my favorite way to use these environments-as-a-service. But regardless of the many ways to use ephemeral environments,  it's great to see a growing set of tools in the cloud native community for automating the spinning up of fresh environments with Kubernetes manifests, helm charts, or even Docker Compose YAML. Uffizzi is using the open core model, meaning that the core part of their product is open source. Live recording of the complete show from August 24, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #231). Includes demos.★Topics★Uffizzi websiteUffizzi Quick StartUffizzi on LinkedInUffizzi's YouTube Channel Creators & Guests
