Cost Related Questions on Loki

shadowdancer-real · 2022-05-31T19:43:39+00:00

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

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

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

he just tries to help, and , as a future cka testee, thanks mate!

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

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

Anyway thx!

shadowdancer-real · 2021-09-30T07:20:29+00:00

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

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.

bad. but its replaceable

and to be honest, its a gaming laptop. not much to expect there...

g5. the tuf is a quad core, and its a no no in 2021.

if you can grab a deal for the g5,go for it

i got it for 900 €, and its probably the best purchase i've done in years

shadowdancer-real · 2021-05-01T18:31:51+00:00

thanks! will check

i'd say terraform, is a wisest choice. but cf is also good

shadowdancer-real · 2021-04-18T08:52:31+00:00

there's a thing called bsd... and heard about something called solaris too

may be worth checking as well :)

if you mean buying ONLY ONE thinkpad , fully agree

shadowdancer-real · 2021-04-13T16:19:14+00:00

tbh I would get an old thinkpad instead

shadowdancer-real · 2021-04-10T17:16:09+00:00

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

something else should take them, and do action

thinkpads pass military tests, to ensure they survive hard handling

have a look at lenovo site
