New Object Storage, Kubernetes Gateway API, and the NETWAYS Camp

Summertime is here, and before parts of the team head off on their well-deserved summer vacation in the coming weeks, we have some big news for you:

Standalone Object Storage is now available in MyNWS! As usual, our colleague Gabriel has written a detailed blog post about the new possibilities and the technology itself - more information below.

Another blog post from this month deals with the Kubernetes Gateway API - why it exists, what it can do, and what this means for your Kubernetes cluster.

The usual reading corner with links from all corners of the internet, and a CLI tool for managing Kubernetes contexts comes on top at the end of the newsletter - happy reading!

In the past, it was already possible to use S3/Swift-compatible object storage in the NETWAYS Cloud. With this all-new update, you as a user of MyNWS now get easier options for interaction and integration, better connection to MyNWS and the NWS ID, and much more.

Our colleague Gabriel has written a detailed overview of our latest product on our blog if you would like to find out more.

By the time you read this newsletter, a large part of our team will be at the NETWAYS summer camp, where we are spending three days together taking time for and with each other.
