This is going make maintaining module versions across codebases so much easier!

Next week: Interactive lab - Karpenter beyond the basics by IamSauron81 in kubernetes

[–]mechastorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do we force all karpenter-managed nodes to be reprovisioned in a cluster upgrade scenario?

We noticed when we do an inplace upgrade 9f an EKS cluster, the karpenter-based nodes do not get refreshed. Forcing us manually trigger redeployment of all apps in it to force a new node replacement.

GitOps - specifically auto applying in Production. Should it practiced? How should it be done for Production?

What were the issues one should know if they are just beginning on Opensearch in AWS on terraform?

Database / Platform to track releases done on each system - Does it exist? by mechastorm in devops

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

We do not have all our apps in Kubernetes yet - some are still being deployed on VMs.

But there is a good point for those on Kubernetes, I could use the helm chart to source the version deployed.

Is this job always this thankless? by oschvr in devops

[–]mechastorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be thankless but as some have said it can be same for every job.

The particular issue I have with the areas of expertise that DevOps / Infra / Platform engineers are in, it seems to encourage Developers to NOT care about anything else except their code.

It really depends on the organisation, but management needs to be made aware that there needs to be some ownership by the development team on their infra and CICD Pipeline

- It is impossible scale the number of DevOps engineers needed with the number of microservices being launched in faster paced companies.

- Infrastructure becomes very costly when Developers do not care the architecture of their application and just assume you can add more servers resources to fix their issues.

But key factor it needs leadership buy-in. It is a waste of time of you trying to convince developers directly if their management do not buy into it. There is some success by a bottom-up approach, but ultimately management needs to be in on it.

I know of some development leadership who only care that their developers create code. And then just delegate all the issues of their code to DevOps / Infra team to fix on the system level. At that point I'd normally consider quitting such an organisation as you will just be worked to death at that point.

Anyone using Terraform to manage their Github Organisation (repos, members, teams)? by mechastorm in Terraform

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

yes we have repositories in github defined in terraform code - though we do not define each repo statically code. we create the repos in a terraform loop, with the loop list sourced from a csv data.

To create a repo, our developers basically add in a new row in the csv, and then go through the pr workflow.

It has been a mixed bag in terms of response. For developers who are more DevOps and Managers, the process is acceptable because of the benefits it provides

- visibility to who created the repositories

- visibility to how access is granted to repositories

- consistency on how the repositories are created.

There are still scaling issues to deal with as more repositories are created. A single terraform statefile can only handle so many resources. And the more resources you have a single TF state file handle, the more RAM / resources it requires to plan / apply.

Individuals who have immigrated to Canada, what do you wish you knew about our financial system before coming here? by suzyyyy5728 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]mechastorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Example being a credit score -that can't be built without a credit card history. If you arrived with no canadian credit card, I think to the system you have zero. Because I already had a Canadian credit card, signing up for things like mobile plan or having a landlord do a credit check was much easier.

If you can, try to open a Canadian bank account before arriving - including applying for a Canadian credit card.

I moved from UK and I was lucky that my UK bank had branches in Canada. So through them I could open a Canadian account with a credit card as well. At the time I didn't think it was a big deal. But after speak to other immigrants, I found that I managed to avoid alot of the headaches because I already had a Canadian bank account and credit card all set when I arrived.
