Tinkerbell, with Gianluca Arbezzano

Kubernetes Podcast from Google

If you'd like something more tangible than a virtual cloud instance, there's always (still!) bare metal. Tinkerbell is a project from Equinix Metal to manage bare metal servers at scale, and Gianluca Arbezzano is one of its maintainers. We talk stacks, racks and MACs.
