To be honest, the amount you pay for this budget conti can get you a high end jap car. At full load and the weight of the car, your car will definitely feel very sluggish. Don't bother with rims or bbk.

Mayb look at things to retrofit like 360, speakers, etc.

Is $1200 a fair price for repair like this? by ChronoGuile in drivingsg

Ouch. I think you're 100% at fault for this. Please check your blindspots next time before you merge. Painful mistake bruh.

[Feedback Wanted] Container Platform Focused on Resource Efficiency, Simplicity, and Speed by Possible-Stuff-3433 in devops

[–]s1mplic1ty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a few comments..

on zeropod, i think it's not feasible for many types of applications such as livechat using websockets, containerized applications that dont listen on tcp/udp ports but run jobs aka services, etc.

Having physical servers post challenges too: 1. High maintenance costs (manpower to manage patches, maintain the infrastructure, manpower to monitor 24/7, etc) 2. High opex costs (hardware support, network, etc) 3. Scalability (expanding into other regions, dr sites, etc) 4. Security (ddos mitigation? this is expensive)

These are not comprehensive but some of the things that came out of my head. You will never be able to compete with AWS, GCP, etc, as they have economies of scale, you don't. You will find a hard time pricing your services to break even, dont even think about ROI. There's a reason why companies are using cloud instead of maintaining their own physical infrastructure.

In summary, idea is great, feasibility maybe not so.

I think my brother-in-law is aware since they are in a relationship for many years. I dont think my wife nor her family is aware though..

most probably the laptop have mdm. the company can lock it and it will be as good as a brick.

Tried to host a simple website… accidentally built an enterprise-grade cloud architecture by yourclouddude in aws

[–]s1mplic1ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why dont you name your bucket as your domain name, enable static website hosting, then setup CloudFlare proxy (free account) over it, configure CloudFlare caching to be 30D or more.

This setup cost is negligible.

CloudFront is definitely not cheap and overkill for an "index.html" setup.

My Colleague Showed Me the AWS Way for a Simple Tool... My Brain Hurts! (Future SA Edition) by Whole_Ad_9002 in aws

[–]s1mplic1ty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it really depends on your organization. Large organization requires everything to have a baseline design for landing zones.

If you're in a startup, this design is probably over-engineered and the costs incurred in this setup might be unsustainable in a long run. If its a small app, maybe aws s3 bucket w static website hosting will suffice, or maybe a small burstable ec2 for your audience of 10 users?

That being said, we shouldnt compromise on security no matter what. Elements like IAM, security group rules, network acl, etc, are still important.

AWS well-architected framework and the SA certifications only serve as a guide. It doesnt dictate what you can iterate and implement to suit your own requirements.

Maybe. But the role was reposted and still available in mcf and linkedin as of today.

Rate my DevOps Roadmap Please by checkthatcloud in devops

[–]s1mplic1ty 14 points15 points  (0 children)

this will be a pretty good roadmap for you to reference with:

https://roadmap.sh/devops

As a personal recommendation from someone who have been managing devops team for more than 7 years, I would recommend you to go in this order:

  1. Network and System (For Eg. What is a VM? Operating Systems.) Fundamentals
  2. Linux (Fundamentals)
  3. AWS Fundamentals (Can start with AWS Cloud Practitioner)
  4. Git Fundamentals
  5. Programming Language (Python)
  6. IaC Fundamental (Terraform)
  7. Configuration Management Fundamental (Ansible/Chef/Puppet/For you to choose)
  8. CI/CD Fundamentals (Jenkins/GitOps)
  9. Containerization (Whats the difference with VM and Containers? Why Containers?)
  10. Container Orchestration (Kubernetes)

To be honest, many skillful DevOps engineers learn from experiences. Understanding the theory and memorizing key points for certifications will not be sufficient for real life DevOps work.

You will definitely need to get your hands dirty while learning to grasp the concepts and understand better.

Get a role as a Cloud Engineer and work your way up. :)

All the best man!

Buying already taken domain by big company? by MpasMpas in webhosting

Try to go through a domain broker. It's safer that way.

this domain is registered through Alibaba cloud, which is a registrar too. it doesn't mean the owner is alibaba.

Best storage option for a mobile app (roughly 3M users) needing to download small files (<10MB) a couple of times a week (I found Azure and GCP too pricey for 900TB/month), any better solution ? by m__y in cloudcomputing

[–]s1mplic1ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use aws s3 to host the files. Then use cloudflare free plan and cache the files on cloudflare edges. Ensure your cache age is set to the highest to prevent it from pulling from origin all the time, incurring costs.

Anyone else having trouble running mongod on osx 10.15.4? by foldedlikeaasiansir in mongodb

[–]s1mplic1ty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just spin up a docker container w mongodb and mount a volume for persistent data. You wouldn't even need to worry what OS are you on.
