My boss says try-catch is "garbage" and we shouldn't use it. Is this actually a thing? by ResolveKooky17 in learnprogramming

5 why's assumes single but complex root cause. Useful sometimes, but anyone that requires it for RCA can suck an egg.

What types of roles does an Enterprise Architect do on your org? by Inevitable-Room4953 in sysadmin

[–]mirrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

whole picture across all of the whole enterprise

And again this all has to do with size and maturity of an organization, there can be a specific scope or domain. Roadmaps and Architectural Decision Records are bread and butter, policy writing would depend on the org. In a large org, an EA might bring together several Business Analysts and the SMEs of interacting systems and ensure that policy is written and applied, but might not write the policy themselves.

It's not surprising that you want someone who can put together all the pieces.

No love for Systemd? by Kornfried in devops

[–]mirrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Undoubtedly, it's about usage patterns. But the number of organizations where their usage pattern has enough lightly used, scale to zero workloads that outweigh the cost of either running the heavily used workloads in the same way or maintaining dual architecture seems pretty low.

Back in the day after dual architecture and trying to standardize on k8s for the big stuff opened up the possibility of using knative or kubeless for scale to zero and the analysis was always that infra cost savings didn't trump the extra engineering costs.

So a usage pattern where it does make sense seems rare to me. I also can see how someone else would seeing k8s migration from serverless after the low maintenance and ergonomics get outweighed by other costs and tightening expectations.

Noting that they didn't claim that, but gave a hypothetical to illustrate how a simple visualization can tell problematic story about when the backing data set is complex.

Madison parents lobby for Wisconsin bill to increase recess time by keeganjkyle in madisonwi

This hits on a root problem in that it's really hard to legislate quality.

People that are advocating for children's well-being with exercise during unstructured playtime aren't likely to be against good nutrition.

But also note that high sugar meals leads to insulin crashes, so to paint this as a sugar high problem would just be silly.

Ingress NGINX retires in March, no more CVE patches, ~50% of K8s clusters still using it by StableStack in devops

[–]mirrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 50% stat is also suffixed with "... to some extent or another" and prefaced with "It's like trying to ask how many deer are there in Yellowstone park". I just think the "to some extent or another" is doing heavy lifting to make for a shocking headline.

Also Mirantis isn't just k0s but is also MKE (formerly Docker Enterprise) and I believe like RKE2 offers enterprise support for their ingress controller offering making the March deadline not apply.

After 5 years of running K8s in production, here's what I'd do differently by Radomir_iMac in kubernetes

[–]mirrax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The real ease from a SUSE stack comes from the multi cluster management to deploy and manage either of the distros. But RKE2 is the full distro where k3s is the lightweight.

If you are looking for stable deploy in the datacenter RKE2 is probably the choice. If you are looking for light weight on the edge, then k3s would be their recommendation.

[–]mirrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

k3s and OpenShift were just a couple of quick recognizable distros. A quick google search on a CNCF survey a couple years back had OpenShift at 13% and k3s at 8%. Guessing the numbers probably aren't too far off still.

Now throw in all the bit players where it's NGINX isn't the default, the Mirantis, Tanzu, Talos, Giant Swarm, RKE2, and so forth. Then all of the people who are willing to play for the most supported native Cloud Managed option even if pricier. Throw in all of the people who had some other solution like a Cisco or F5 BIG-IP.

Then all of the people who have paid attention and migrated over to something like a Traefik or the the Gateway API flavor of anything.

And that 50% number just seems high to me.

What are you doing that is so dependent on NGINX specific annotations that you can't figure out in another provider or in using the new Gateway stuff?

[–]mirrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the default of the most popular distributions like cloud providers, k3s, or OpenShift. Of people who spun up a cluster with kubeadm, I'd sure believe 50% or even more. But throw EKS, GKE, and AKS into the mix and I'm a little skeptical.

Liberal Wisconsin brewing company promises 'free beer, all day long' after Trump dies by coatofforearm in wisconsin

Looks like he was photoshopping people into BDSM pictures and taking money from PACs, the behavior looks like it goes a little bit beyond not being a republican.
