The Parallax

As somebody who repeatedly got lost along the winding, poorly sign-posted alleys of Tokyo while living there before smartphones existed, I found great relief in having Google Maps on hand during a trip back to Japan in February.

Linux Academy

Kubernetes is a container orchestration tool that incorporates the idea of pods as ephemeral items. This temporary nature would have us assume that storage would be difficult to manage.

To show you what I mean, let’s go through an exercise that will provision a persistent disk in Google Cloud using a Cloud Sandbox environment in Linux Academy’s Cloud Playground.
