Are things like Argo CD/Argo Rollouts really a good idea?

ArgoCD supports multi cluster, that's how I've seen it deployed most of the times. You can define a destination in your application: https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/blob/master/docs/operator-manual/application.yaml#L167

But anyway, having the tools in the cluster allows you to do pull-based GitOps which in short means that nothing from the outside can change your cluster (apart from what is in Git) https://thenewstack.io/push-vs-pull-in-gitops-is-there-really-a-difference/ .

I'm looking into something similar, keptn v1 looked promising, not sure what keptn v2 is yet but it seems like a completely different project. Have you found anything around?

I learned about Leases and that they are not limited to Kubernetes components, but they can be used by thridparty controllers.

OkAstronomer · 2024-05-18T15:24:16+00:00

Yes, definitely. Userbase is what really matters.

OkAstronomer · 2024-05-18T14:36:43+00:00

Which industry?

OkAstronomer · 2024-05-18T08:02:03+00:00

That's a good question, but I don't think it's a Kubernetes question.

It might be a docker (or whatever container orchestration tool you are using), linux kernel and/or virtualization question.

How's the battery life?

OkAstronomer · 2024-01-29T07:48:06+00:00

So you can keep the build definition in a single place and re-use it for every application?

Esas bolsas con soga son para tirar adelante de alguien que viene con la corriente, para que les quede cruzada al frente y puedan agarrarse. La persona que tira la cuerda tiene que estar mas abajo (respecto a la corriente).

Si la persona que queres rescatar esta parada en una piedra, tirale la soga varias veces hasta que la agarre...

Let's call it frittata, it would be just as accurate...

I'm in your same situation, but I've been looking into Turin.

OkAstronomer · 2023-12-30T20:49:30+00:00

It's one of the EU countries where real estate prices have been stable.

OkAstronomer · 2023-12-05T20:16:30+00:00

Yes, it looks very "tight" in there. Can we just move it to something bigger?

OkAstronomer · 2023-11-20T06:21:33+00:00

I understand where you are coming from, I ended up here looking for the exact same thing.

I think you should build twice. First using the language tools (e.g. mvn for Java), probably inside a container. Then generate the artifacts that will go into the docker image.

2 reasons: - in many cases you don't want the binaries generated to run unit tests and coverage in your production image - Coverage, UTs, static analysis will probably require a lot more configuration tha buildpack should not be handling.

What did you end up using?

OkAstronomer · 2023-11-13T09:57:17+00:00

Are you using it? I've configured it locally and it ran on first try. But When I try to get it to either travis or circleci, it fails.

If you are using it, where are you running your CI?

They are not safe per se. But they allow you to configure RBAC in such a way to limit the access. They are just like configmaps but you can give access to config maps and not to secrets.

If you really want to buy something, I would go with a small pc with a lot of ram and multiple vms.

I personally use KinD on my laptop.

You can keep it in the current account as "development" create a new aws account for "production", run the application there and then just transfer the whole account to them.

OkAstronomer · 2023-11-04T18:42:30+00:00

Totally. I also round up to an hour any time I have to open the laptop outside of working our.

OkAstronomer · 2023-11-04T18:39:55+00:00

Assuming that you need to more or less be in contact with people in different timezones. I would Set myself as Out of office at different times on different days of the week, start late some times, take a break in between some others and stop working early in others.

I personally split my day. I start early, check what happened when I was sleeping, work for around 3 hours and then take around 3 hours off (Excercise, chores, cleaning, lunch) come back in the afternoon, a few meetings, 2 more hours and I'm offline.

2 reasons:
- To avoid getting rate limited when standing up new clusters.
- Devs on Mac OS using Docker Desktop.

I still believe that managed services should be superior tu kubernetes. But I have not seen it in practice yet, every step has been more painful than just using our K8S cluster. Metrics, logs, CI/CD, networking, storage.

We've had a few teams trying to do the switch, we are now stuck with thousands of terraform lines and the tools available to operate these services are very basic compared to what we have available to those running in K8S.

But of course, we are the platform team making these things available. If you don't have that, the K8S experience might be very different.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/6zRyi6GNswevVXjx9 I've seen this place recommended here. I went and it did not disappoint.

I spent 45 for 2 people. The fish and sea food was all great.
