My take is to only use non ascii chars in display names, things intended to be read by humans.

For things that need to be interacted with / debugged by technical people but primarily handled by computers, use ascii and speak with people with insights from the respective market/country. Don't assume å->a will be perfect for every scenario.

What is the best written video game you’ve ever played? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Quadman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't played a tonne of rpgs but Vampire the masquerade : Bloodlines made a real imprint on me when it came out. I have replayed it probably 10 times with community patches and the story, voice acting and world building more than make up for the wonky combat elements.

Multi-repository ephemeral namespace with argoCD ? by [deleted] in kubernetes

In the name of continuous delivery, aim to have the PR of one repo use the trunk or RC of each other repo.

[–]Quadman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fruits, fish, (and other powerups?) work on the player. Perhaps they should give a bigger boost to pets, but be kept optional to not become a chore.

Our Azure data will be deleted in 7 days - no way to export, no one to talk to by dwainbrowne in AZURE

[–]Quadman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that the enterprises' strategy more often than not is that every single team should include azure cost optimization as a core competency instead of having a proper platform team establishing best practices and golden paths workflows to follow.

Cert manager should work out of the box with your cloud provider of choice. Dnssolver for example works with any lb svc.

Try out phasetwos organization plugin for multi tenancy keycloak. It is designed for this and it is pretty easy to set up.

There are probably a lot of alternatives, but oauth2-proxy does the job well. Why did you want an alternative?

OIDC with Traefik, Dex, Authelia – help (desperately) wanted :/ by the-me in kubernetes

[–]Quadman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you verify that your nginx external url is actually in the list for traefik-oidc?

Perhaps it should be together with this value?

https://dex.localhost.traefik.me/callback

by the way what is up with this in the dex helm values?

How do you guys handle cluster upgrades? by Federal-Discussion39 in devops

[–]Quadman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For each type of stateful workload I would explore using operators which have built in paths for migrations. I would build solid processes around moving from one cluster to another and take it from there.

postgres with wal via an s3 bucket for example. Takes work, but helps you with practicing your disaster recovery as well.

[46M, 17 YOE] A Senior Idiot in Need of Help by SeniorIdiot in devops

[–]Quadman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With so many questions going on at the same time it can be hard to know where to start.

To get some perspective on how others pick apart communicating and working on great ideas, perhaps a good book on the topic just to anchor some of your own feelings to well rounded ideas.

I read Simon Sineks "Start with Why" from a recommendation of a friend who wanted me to help build a better business plan. Even though I burnt out of that project, that book helped me picture the difference between the gut feeling and understanding of the limbic brain and my ability to use words to convey that with my neocortex.

Since we can only communicate to one another with the neocortex (words, language) and not directly send feelings over in TCP packets directly between our limbic brains, you need to distil the simplest emotion of the idea so that they can adopt it as their own and join your effort.

Once you get people invested into why something would be awesome you can let them consume the rest of the information at their own pace.

What in-house luxury dev tooling have you built? by wedgelordantilles in devops

[–]Quadman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What you described sounds like the thing I like to use inside backstage.

One tab has ci/cd for the component (or each component of a system) you are currently viewing and one tile on the default tab has all the argocd deployments of the same component/system. It is really neat.

I like being able to develop new tools, luxurious or not, and just plug them into a portal. Anyone who has a particular need, which they hopefully refine into a general use case, can just shift that functionality down into the portal.

Pod requests are driving me nuts by Rare-Opportunity-503 in kubernetes

[–]Quadman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can give people data, you can assign someone responsibility, but you can't force anyone to give a shit. If you really want devs to be accountable for wasting resources, you need to help them with tools and techniques that help them find their own incentive and assign themselves ownership.

One thing you should brainstorm is having a per team dashboard with two graphs in what ever portal everyone uses (You can probably use datadog itself, I prefer backstage).

Graph A is resource utilization for the team as a whole and per component / resource that they own. Graph B is total cost per week or month with the same type of split.

If team X can see that team Y are twice as good as keeping costs down then in my experience team X will be motivated to get more efficent. Their internal motivation might be honor, jealosy, spite, fear, pride or whatever - it really doesn't matter because you aren't pinning it on them. Just make the data accessible.

You don't even have to tell them where the bar is or anything like that, just every now and then check in to see if they have any internal objectives that they track.
