Creating PersistentVolumeClaims using Azure Files CSI and an existing file share

With the release of Kubernetes 1.21 support in AKS, the move away from in-tree storage drivers is complete. All future versions of AKS will rely on the CSI drivers as a managed component of the cluster. While there's some good public documentation (Azure Files CSI drivers and

KubeCon 2018, Day Three Recap

Well, it's the end of the show. I'll definitely write up my thoughts when I have a better chance to consolidate them and make them coherent. Until then, I'll knock out a quick recap of my sessions and experience from day three as well

Moving Forward

Southwest Airlines - so long and thanks for all the fish.

Team successes and organizational support

I don't often take time to talk about the successes I've had. I love what I do and for me the experience and time spent is reward enough. Building great software that makes my users happy and lets them do what they need is absolutely rewarding.

Colons in CSS selectors

While doing some additional stylesheet work in Sass on our Customer Community, I ran into an interesting case. One of the selector paths that I needed to rely for the slide-out menu had a custom element - li:community-navigation. I've never run into a colon inside of a
