I’m Sayan Chowdhury, a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft Azure, based in Bangalore.
- Flatcar Container Linux: maintainer and Release Manager. Flatcar is a CNCF Incubating project.
- Kubernetes: shadow on SIG Release.
- Release engineering: 10+ years, including years in the Fedora project.
- Python: Fellow of the Python Software Foundation (PSF).
What this blog covers
Container internals, immutable Linux, and how Kubernetes and Flatcar releases actually get built, tested and shipped. I also write about working in open source and release engineering, what I’m learning about AI/ML infrastructure, talks and community events, and short cheatsheets.
Older posts (2013 to 2019) are mostly about Fedora, Google Summer of Code, Python and the communities around them. They’re still here in the archive.
Outside of computers: bouldering, trekking, coffee, photography, Rubik’s cubes and board games.
