Local files when migrating an application to Kubernetes

When building a CI/CD process using Kubernetes, sometimes the problem arises of incompatibility between the requirements of the new infrastructure and the application being transferred to it.

Last week, the laptop I use for MacOS development reported that […]

Mom, I'm on TV: how was the final of the "Digital Breakthrough" contest
