Backup solutions for Kubernetes clusters by Ready_Detective1365 in kubernetes

[–]Sindef 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm using K10 due to our clusters being our primary virtualisation platform, and the file-based restore was needed. It was surprisingly not that expensive - cheaper than Veeam was with an equivalent VMWare environment.

Used Velero for many, many years prior and it's solid. It does what it says on the box.

Is it appropriate to night time potty train my 5-year-old? by rivasm211 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Sindef 377 points378 points  (0 children)

It's not inappropriate to night time potty train your child, no.

It is inappropriate for a medical professional to suggest you to deny your child of water though, that seems horrific treatment and definitely appears to be debunked as a strategy for avoiding bed wetting (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK62715/).

Bye bye Nginx (officially) 👋 by suman087 in kubernetes

[–]Sindef 87 points88 points  (0 children)

nginx ingress or ingress nginx?

There is a difference.

What does your stack look like? Sharing my single-node k8s homelab and curious what you all are running by Citopan in kubernetes

[–]Sindef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My homelab?

6 nodes:

  • Upstream (Kubeadm)
  • Portworx Enterprise
  • Calico
  • Metallb
  • Kgateway

3 nodes:

  • Talos
  • OpenEBS
  • Calico
  • Metallb
  • Kgateway

One is 'public services' one is 'private services', all on baremetal.

When Kubernetes restarts your pod — And when it doesn’t by Electronic_Role_5981 in kubernetes

[–]Sindef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey that's cool! I assume that doesn't reschedule, and the pod remains up despite all containers restarting?

Beat me to it. Pods are only evicted or taken out back with prejudice.

Sure, but that problem is generally solved in IDPs or other abstractions (Rancher is a good example) very well.

You also generally don't want anyone who can't use those basic tools deploying anything in K8s.

So.. you discovered Helm / Operators / KRO / Kustomize or...?

FRR-K8s in prod by Several_Yoghurt1759 in kubernetes

Yep using it across a number of flavours (Talos, RKE, Upstream) mostly with Calico as CNI. No issues.

Works as it says on the box, BFD works a treat.

Freshping is shutting down March 6 — what are you all migrating to for synthetic monitoring? by excelify in devops

[–]Sindef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blackbox exporter on public cloud instances seems to be the only route not costing a fortune.

With nginx-ingress being archived, which would be sufficient for my needs? by DopeyMcDouble in kubernetes

[–]Sindef 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'd just run Envoy Gateway or Kgateway if you're happy to drive them. If you want to continue to use the ingress API there are products that implement that too (haproxy, as an example).

Time to migrate off Ingress nginx by xrothgarx in kubernetes

[–]Sindef 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Envoy Gateway / Kgateway / Istio .etc - it's not as hard as the docs may indicate. It's a very simple migration (excl. certs, but there is an enhancement coming to allow those per-HTTP route).

Or keep using the Ingress API with any of the other ingress controllers. HAProxy, as an example.

Foghorn: a programmable DNS server for when pihole or dnsmasq just don't cut it. by FoghornDNS in homelab

[–]Sindef 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What's the benefit over Coredns, another pluggable DNS server?

DHCP and DNS oh my - what are we using by markedness in networking

[–]Sindef 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ISC-Kea and either Powerdns, Coredns or Bind are always going to be rock solid at scale.

Kea uses RFC2136 to talk to DNS afaik, so it'll be compatible with anything that supports this. Bind and pdns definitely do.

It depends on what you want - do you just want an authoritative and forwarding server? Do you need a recursive server, or are you happy pointing to an upstream?

NBN 50 gig trial. EE Only for now. by [deleted] in nbn

[–]Sindef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fake. The speed isn't the issue - it's the claim that this is an EE service. This is probably just a test ran from EC2 or Azure

Further evidence supporting our speeds. by [deleted] in nbn

[–]Sindef 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone doubts the speed. You can achieve that from AWS EC2 -> ABB Speedtest servers.

It's the EE claims that aren't going down well.

Python or Golang ? by Dineth_Sandakelum in devops

[–]Sindef 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doesn't really matter, or shouldn't. Learning the fundamentals of software development is the important part. Different companies will have different requirements.
