Sam Stoelinga

I'm Sam Stoelinga, a passionate Open Source contributor focusing on cloud, K8s and ML platforms. I've contributed to open source projects such as Weaviate, K8s, OpenStack and Kaniko.

I'm the creator or co-creator of the following OSS projects:

• substratusai/lingo - Lightweight ML Proxy & autoscaler for K8s
• Websu.io: website performance check as a service
• bgdestroyer.com

Need some help? Feel free to DM me anytime on LinkedIn.

My day job at Google Cloud is to help customers with K8s and ML Platforms. This blog only contains my personal opinion.

I'm trying to become a better public speaker by publicly speaking. See some appearances here:

• NVIDIA GTC 2024 fine-tuning and serving Gemma
• Hybrid vs Multi-Cloud 2019
• Kubecon/ServerlessCon: Multi-Cloud Messaging with Functions 2019
• IstioCon 2021: Redis TLS origination with a sidecar
• Kubecon 2022: Migrating from PodSecurityPolicy

Some example open source contributions:

• Created the Weaviate Spark Connector
• Kaniko: Move from Google internal CI to Public CI and various other Prs
• Updating the Weaviate OpenAI module to use embedding API
• K8s Cluster Autoscaler: Fix GCE so OSS autoscaler works on GKE
• K8s DaemonSet to load CA onto GKE nodes so you can pull down images from self-signed certs
• Terraform GCP provider support for Filestore attribute
• CVE-2013-2059: OpenStack Security vulnerability where tokens weren't invalidated when user is deleted
