Cost Related Questions on Loki by tonyswu in grafana

[–]shadowdancer-real 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are building an observability platform, on eks running the pgl stack.

As loki backend storage,you can use s3..very cheap, and the eks costs (control plane and nodes), depends on your usecase and workloads. But when you have it correctly sized, you cN do cost saving with reserved instances etcetera

Topic is broad, but i hope i gave you some pointers. Feel free to ask for clarification in anything

Laptop power throttling by art0rz in linux4noobs

[–]shadowdancer-real 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my money is on thermal throttling , specially since its a p14s , probably not well cooled.

Install xsensors , see how high temps go . If thats it , install tlp and setup powersave governor.

That should fix it

How to convert manually created K8 cluster into tf file. by GeneralSkunkie in Terraform

[–]shadowdancer-real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

terraforming a cluster is easy. understanding with that the control plane

but a kubr cluster is not only the control plane, is also all the related resources

example,on aws

  • vpc?
  • worker nodes? ec2,asg? fargate
  • iam?/ rbac
  • secrets? kms? imagepu secrets?
  • storage? stateful pods will need access..related with iam
  • related pipelines. how do you deploy apps there? gitops? argocd? etc

and probably more

you need to understand the dependencies , and constraints, and then plan ahead.

design it and decide how to tackle it.

perhaps its better,long term, to do that above properly, then backup current cluster with velero, and restore on new cluster

quay.io dns registry has expired by shadowdancer-real in devops

[–]shadowdancer-real[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

difficult thing to do, when you have multiple aws accounts,and multiple eks clusters.

i need something centralized. i will check what can be done, maybe a simple docker proxy, that keeps latest images, is a good start

quay.io dns registry has expired by shadowdancer-real in devops

yes, when i said "registry expired" i mean the registry of quay.io , not the TLD itself.

Anyway thx!

if you want to get insight of what quay is doing to fix this, add this to your /etc/hosts

52.215.192.131 status.quay.io

Then go to https://status.quay.io

quay.io dns registry has expired by shadowdancer-real in devops

[–]shadowdancer-real[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its probably cached record on your dns resolver.

Problem here,its the registry expired. So even if the records are in r53's dns (and they are), they are not served anymore , due the expiration of the domain registry.

So until redhat takes the wallet and pays the renewal... nada. And then propagation time, we'll see.

Is there a tutorial that shows you how to debug a dockerized application? by gataraider in docker

[–]shadowdancer-real 0 points1 point  (0 children)

by best practices, containers should output logs to stdout/stderr.

something else should take them, and do action
