CNCF / Kubernetes video search

Some of the best resources for Kubernetes and cloud computing - especially anything container-related - are on the CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) YouTube channel.

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) is a Linux Foundation project that was founded in 2015 to help advance container technology. You can find on their channel

conference talks,
walk throughs,
expert discussions

and more around Kubernetes (K8s), serverless, cloud computing, OpenSource, problem solving, CI/CD, load testing, container networking, container security and more, including in-depth info on container-related technologies such as containerd, Grafana, OpenShift, Helm, Argo, Istio, gRPC, Open Telemetry, Jaeger and many others.

YouTube's search function leaves a lot to be desired these days. So I built a CNCF video search engine myself and make it available here, so you can find what you need and learn about Kubernetes (and cloud computing in general)!

About this page...

A few years ago I built a YouTube video search engine, partly because YouTube's built-in search engine can be so bad.

I indexed various video info in a Postgres database, including OCR'd screenshots and transcript info, from channels that I searched/watched often (e.g. cloud providers' channels, to learn about specific features and configurations).

It's still sort of cool, but I haven't been updating the database lately, and have abandoned further development, as:

nowadays it would be better to do this via AI, rather than indexing / searching text in a relational database
it's only a matter of time until we get more in-depth search functionality for YouTube videos (you can already search YouTube video content via ChatGPT etc. today, though it's still severely limited)
and (most importantly) AI has eliminated much of the need to research issues in the first place, or spend hours learning skills through tutorial videos (though it can still be nice to watch e.g. a live presentation from a tech conference, to get a good overview of features and innovations)
