OpenPERouter is a router for your Kubernetes nodes, and a new version is out! Power your nodes with EVPN and SRV6 tunnels! Highlights: route reflector mode, CNI provided interfaces openperouter.github.io/docs/release... come and say hi on the #openperouter slack on the Kubernetes slack!

New blogpost: How I use AI in 2026 fedepaol.github.io/blog/2026/04...

Build your first Kubernetes controller — in under 3 hours! Hands-on workshop with @fedepaol.bsky.social & F. Romani: write, deploy, and test a real controller with custom APIs and best practices. ⚙️ Write Your First Kubernetes Controller #golang #golab2025

Check the last thing I worked on! I released the first iteration of OpenPERouter, a kubernetes component that mimics a PE Router allowing you to define EVPN tunnels up to the kubernetes node. It integrates with Calico, MetalLB and any bgp speaking component! openperouter.github.io

Around Florence? Interested in Go? Next Wednsday I'll be a guest of the @golab.io organizers and will host a workshop about Go testing with my colleague Francesco Romani! www.meetup.com/develer-meet...

On my way to #kubecon!

We are trying to put together a list of MetalLB adopters. If your organization or your product is using MetalLB in a way or another, please file a PR! It would help a project you are using :-) github.com/metallb/meta...

Interested in talking about MetalLB and networking? Want some stickers? Don't be shy and come find me at Kubecon London! I'll be staffing the MetalLB kiosk in the projects area on the morning of Wednesday, 2 April

From the @fosdem.bsky.social stage with @fedepaol.bsky.social and his deep dives into EVPN and k8s. How was it, Federico?

MetalLB in the containers devroom at #fosdem :-)

Super interesting talk about swissmaps internals at #fosdem #golang by @bboreham.bsky.social

State of go in go devroom at #fosdem

So who's at #fosdem?

Two days until fosdem, where I'll talk about VXLan, EVPN, Kubernetes, and a lot of other things I have no clue about!

Yet another post of my EVPN tinkering series, where now I provide EVPN termination to a Kind node attached to a ContainerLab topology by running FRR and other containers as Podman Systemd units (inside Kind!!!). fedepaol.github.io/blog/2025/01...

Kids asleep. Santa mode is ON 🎅

Today I played "let's release a new MetalLB when all github is all about unicorns (but no rainbows)"

The recording of the "Beyond Table Tests" talk I gave @golab.io is now available on youtube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z85A...

Launching unit tests after 3 days straight of coding

The slides (and the material) of the "Go testing bootcamp" workshop me and Francesco Romani gave @golab.io are available at github.com/gotestbootca...

#RedHat is contributing three projects to the #CNCF to help their communities grow.: - Podman - Bootc - Podman Desktop This contribution will also help the CNCF expand into not just deployment, but desktop container development. #kubecon
