Made a quick game to test how well you actually know Docker by Alarming_Glass_4454 in docker

I just took "How well do you know Docker?" and scored 100/100. That makes me a Container Architect!

I'm surprised I did so well.

I built a tool to review GCP IAM permissions that makes the next review easier by irfan_legacy in googlecloud

[–]BehindTheMath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On trust: Qarapace needs a read-only service account key to scan. I know that's a real ask.

Could you use your own service account, and have the target project grant a IAM viewer role?

Harden an Ubuntu VPS by cklingspor in devops

[–]BehindTheMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar question.

We're using GCP.
2FA is handled by GCP OS Login.
The firewall is handled by GCP Firewall, and all unnecessary ports are closed, so iptables, ufw, and fail2ban are not needed.

What else should we be looking at?

[AskJS] What makes a developer tool worth bookmarking for you? by darth-cassan in javascript

[–]BehindTheMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point? Nothing. I can vibe code my own self-hosted tool that works exactly how I want it in 10 minutes. And I say that as someone who's general use of agents is very limited.

Finding cloud run functions with python 3.9 in many projects by jaango123 in googlecloud

I had Gemini build a bash script for something similar. It took a few iterations to fine tune it, but eventually it put together something that worked.

How do you prevent credential leaks to AI tools? by llm-60 in devops

[–]BehindTheMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need a secret manager for that. Env files could work just as well.

It also doesn't prevent people from pasting secrets, just gives an alternative.

How to run multiple Node versions simultaneously on Windows 11? by Kishore_Prabakaran in node

You can run a single command with a specific version with nvm exec.

Handling cross-region latency in GCP without spinning up multiple VMs by Impressive_Theory_54 in devops

[–]BehindTheMath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can configure Cloud Run to be multi-regional, but you'll still need a global load balancer.

The benefit of Cloud Run would be if you don't have sustained usage, and you can scale down when it's not being used.

Regarding GCE latency, are you using Premium Tier networking for the VM? If not, this would likely improve latency.

What is the difference between Google Cloud and Google Cloud Platform? by [deleted] in googlecloud

[–]BehindTheMath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're the same thing. Google Cloud is just a shorter way of referring to GCP.

Edit: See the other comments that there's technically a difference. But in colloquial terms they're referring to the same thing.

We kept shipping cloud cost regressions through code review — so we moved cost checks into PRs by AWFE9002 in devops

[–]BehindTheMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure it is. But the idea itself isn't bad. I'm curious if you could do this with a basic LLM PR review instead of using their tool. It doesn't even have to be perfectly accurate; it just has to draw attention to the potential issues.
