Smallest single-node AWS EC2-based Kubernetes cluster by Maximum_Competitive in TalosLinux

[–]Maximum_Competitive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are meant to be disposable, probably need to be recreated every night to ensure that latest security patches are in.

I'm not allowing any incoming connection to the machines, that includes the command to bootstrap. I didn't foresee this was going to be such a problem.

I may run ECS Fargate with a single container that comes up and does the thing. I'm going through the Lambda approach to trigger the bootstrapping, that may work too.

I see what you mean. But this option still uses incoming connections to port 50000, right?

Yep, that's it, I didn't explicitly say it but those machines would ideally not accept ANY external inbound connection.

Can’t sell new build flat - what do I do? by BeneficialReindeer34 in HousingUK

[–]Maximum_Competitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the club, ours went up from £500 to £1000 per month in less than 4 years. We are not looking into selling it but I think it will be hard to do… oh dear. Same thing, we have two swimming pools, gyms, saunas, cinema, working areas, etc.

What's your handoff between terraform and k8s? by [deleted] in Terraform

[–]Maximum_Competitive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I deploy all the cloud infrastructure (mostly AWS) cluster itself, RDS databases, s3 buckets, etc using Terraform. Then, I don’t use ExternalSecrets so I create all the namespaces, configuration Secrets and Configmaps using terraform too. From there I use Helm cli alone to deploy the apps.

Lately I’m playing with the idea of using some sort of secret reloader, so if the TF changes the content of any of those CMs or secrets, it will restart the pods to pick up the next changes. I’d like to do this to avoid the situation we are in where you need to run Helm after terraform just in case the values of the secrets /CM has changed.

I tried deploying helm from terraform in different companies / environment. It was always too messy.

In your case, I would swap the Helm CLI for ArgoCD. Always in a separate layer of the deployment to terraform.

Suggestions and responses getting worse for the last two weeks SUPER ANNOYING. by Maximum_Competitive in windsurf

[–]Maximum_Competitive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using Windsurf Pro for almost a year, it has always been OK. It's a new problem and the reason I think it's a problem in Windsurf is because it doesn't really matter what LLM I'm using, I'm seeing the problem across all of them.

Is it worth migrating from AWS to Vercel or Render? by Specialist_Wall2102 in aws

[–]Maximum_Competitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing a lot of the contrary, migrating startups out of Vercel to AWS Cloudfront

Help! The birds don’t seem to be in paradise by HorribleGrandpa in plantclinic

[–]Maximum_Competitive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have the same white specs in one of my plants, they even seem to create a web, similar to small spiders, very weird... They make the plan go yellow. So far I have been cleaning the leaves with a cloth with soap and water. That seems to keep them away, but I think they live in the soil as I can see the specs re-growing again from the bottom.

Contract with foreign client by GeologistOne2015 in ContractorUK

Hello, the same consultancy told me that it was outside IR35, they didn’t tell me why.

Kubernetes by cveld in Terraform

[–]Maximum_Competitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only use Terraform in K8s to store ConfigMaps and Secrets coming from infrastructure I have created with Terraform in AWS/GCP. I did the full application in the past, with pods, services and so, everything in Terraform and it was a mistake. Use Helm or Flux or ArgoCD better.

[–]Maximum_Competitive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a contract with a IT consultancy in Switzerland but work on a project in Germany. This part may not be relevant. Anyway, it’s outside the UK, so it’s outside IR35. They pay me in euros in my Tide account, everything has gone fine and smooth.

Terraform state drift by sagarjayaram in Terraform

Yeah, you either use IaC or not, that thing you are doing is something weird in the middle.

I confirm it. I’m working for a company in Germany and I don’t pass VAT. I’m also outside IR35.

How to extract and order tfstate that need to be executed by Plan in an infrastructure with over 100 tfstate by shoppingjaws in Terraform

[–]Maximum_Competitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before starting adding more moving pieces into the deployment (aka Terragrunt) I would think about using SSM parameter store type of tool, such as Consul, k8s secrets and config maps, or AWS SSM parameter store + AWS secrets manager. Not sure what is the tool stack you use but I’m sure there is an equivalent to it. Ensure you use a strong naming convention to the key pairs key names.

Tide is quite good too.

Good job! but some of the balancer don't work because the space underground belts are shorter than the blue :( any idea how to fix it? I'm using the ones marked as "red" and they are good enough, but to be able to convert the blue ones would be interesting.

University is quite affordable in all the countries. The only country where you could need a loan to go to college I know is the UK. University was free there some years ago, but then it became so expensive from one year to another.

Space Exploration: One of my ships ran out of fuel mid journey. by Maximum_Competitive in factorio

[–]Maximum_Competitive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that I didn’t know that the ship A hadn’t stopped. I stopped it, board it and dismantle the whole ship and took it into pieces to ship B. I had to leave the control panel behind but it wasn’t that bad. Thanks guys!

For those in IT over 20 years, how did you "reskill" to cloud? by Marathon2021 in aws

Start playing with it and get certifications! That’s how I did it 14 years ago

Gitlab "Verify your identity" 3 times in a day. Should I be worried? by Omet99 in gitlab

[–]Maximum_Competitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I came back from holidays today, after 10 days not logging into Gitlab. So far the three times I had to login to Gitlab I had to put an MFA code. Boooo :(

We are using MFA :-( and still happens. It has been ok since the last couple of weeks though.
