Running a Kubernetes Cluster with OpenBSD VMM
Kubernetes relies on Linux containers and cgroups, so you can't run Kubernetes or even docker containers directly on OpenBSD, but Alpine Linux runs great under OpenBSD's VMM hypervisor. Alpine shares a lot of the same ideologies as OpenBSD, and it has become a favorite in the Linux container ecosystem.

OpenBSD in Canada
According to Theo de Raadt, we only have 4 active OpenBSD developers in Canada. Theo de Raadt and Bob Beck, both Canadian citizens and long-time OpenBSD developers, make a case that Canada isn't special with regards to OpenBSD. But that just isn't true, historically or currently.
Like all open source software projects, OpenBSD is inherently an international collaboration. Yet, a nation can still stand out in an international project, and can certainly have its history and contributions highlighted, without comparing these to the history and contributions of another country. Comparisons are not obligatory, and there's no hierarchy being created here. But a special history and contributions can nonetheless be recognized and highlighted.
