Interesting test, but I find some of these benchmarks kind of miss the point. Even Grafana's. The appeal of Thanos/Cortex/Mimir is the long term object storage. The value isn't that it is simpler or cheaper to run. The…
I wouldn't go so far as to say there wasn't much purpose for the ground troops in the context of the goal of eliminating Iraqi military capabilities. It involved some of the largest tank battles in US history such as…
Casualties in warfare is typically used to measure the lose of the fighting force. Not only does it include killed and wounded, it typically also includes troops lost to disease and starvation. It is pretty common for…
Hundreds of developers were moved from Azure teams to the GitHub org about a year or so ago. Several new features they have added are effectively rebranding/built on top of other Azure projects. GitHub is hardly at arms…
If you think the game was a disappointment, doesn't that imply you already gave them the money? It is not a service. If you bought it 5 years ago, you don't have to pay more to play it.
CNN and 24hr cable news has not been good for journalism. Opinion pundits responding to events before the facts can even be collected along with daily shows interweaving narratives pre-dates Fox News. Fox News played…
Burke Libbey has a few talks that are available on YouTube including a presentation at NixCon about the work he is doing at Shopify. I would highly recommend checking them out if you are interested in Nix.
You use the language to define the configuration, packages, and etc. NixOS isn't so much an OS configured by a package manager as much as it is an OS + package manager that you can configure with the Nix language. Then…
It is pretty easy to be confused. Especially since it is also a language yet all the other replies at the time have writing have failed to mention that. While I like the project as a whole, their naming is horrible.…
I like how it pretty much just glosses over decades of familiarity. If there is anything the last 20 years prove, it is that the majority of developers will stick with what they know over what might be a good fit for…
IIRC, it was on the order of $100k+ per cluster for the Premium offering. Has been several months so I would suggest contacting them to see what it currently is. For some projects I've been on, that wouldn't be a big…
Maybe that was poor wording on my part, but ease of use in combination with the features are important. Take the database secret backend for example. Getting that same feature out of other simple systems, would be a lot…
Yes. I use Terraform to pull secrets from Vault and insert them into Kubernetes secrets so that there is a single source of truth.
You can use json as well, but it is pretty unfriendly for the human users and you lose some of the interpolation.
Can't recommend Vault enough. By far the easiest and most capable solution to work with. The only downside I can point out is that the multi-cluster/region HA requires expensive enterprise licensing, but that is…
The Hashicorp stack is pretty widely used in part for its open source cross-platform capabilities. This seems more along the lines of "Hey! You already use Terraform/Vault for provider X. Now GCP works even better with…
Curious if any provider has given you similar contract terms?
According to the interview with the author linked in comments above, he published it internally a month ago. The fact that it only got linked and went viral weeks later would indicate it was originally limited.
Yes, it appears to affirm that law enforcement is not the best bang for the buck. There has been plenty of work indicating that like you mentioned. That wasn't a "bold risk". That is separate from saying that changing…
Find it misleading that almost all of the recent articles on this subject talk about decriminalization as the cause for the drop in drug related health issues. They shifted a significant chunk of money to health…
I think the DevOps is a culture statement is just as misleading to folks as the DevOps is automation/tooling. If you look at the early conversations, it was a discussion that outlined a management paradigm that borrowed…
Would argue that you have a tools/service team. The fact that you failed to mention changing what devs and sysadmins consider when "focusing 100%" on their role indicates that what you are talking about isn't the…
Thanks. Apparently I completely missed that in the FAQ.
So is a "compute unit" the same as the "Azure Compute Units" that are used to measure VMs? 800 ACU roughly comes out to 4 cores. At $0.78/hr, that is hardly comparable to the RDS offerings. Didn't see an indication of…
Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what your country can do for them. Why worry about precedence? When I'm in power I'll just change the rules!
