If you think of an application as composed of hundreds of micro services, than it makes perfect sense. It's a multi-tenant system, it's just each tenant is a part of the same app.

We are staying on the safe side here on our recommendations. We have seen many scenarios when high latency on volumes on AWS creates a lot of problems even for small 3 node clusters.

Actually, some of our customers are doing just that - taking a tarball and making it a VM image. There are a couple of things we are making now to support this use case better, e.g. ability to easily change the ip on the VM boot up.

This is one of those ideas we always wanted to implement, but in reality, once we took on deploying K8s it completely consumed all the teams' resources :D

Seems like we have to fix the docs a bit, `gravity app` is supposed to work with any helm registry or even without one: tele build helm-package ->> tarball gravity app install tarball

Kubernetes cluster is hard to operate indeed. Techniques that we always had to deploy before Kubernetes, for example package managers, don't always translate to operating a distributed system on a hundreds or thousands of servers. Some

Yep, check out integration with helm for multiple apps: https://gravitational.com/gravity/docs/catalog/#publish-an-a... It's something we support right now, but still polishing UX, the idea is to add mor

Cool question actually. We don’t terminate SSH, the server is used to distribute trust, so while technically possible that this could change, or there is some attack vector we did not think of, the implementation is careful to avoid that.

What would happen on those interview calls then?

by alexk 7y ago
Just to make it clear - I posted this as an example of anti-pattern, not the actual advice to follow :)

Makes, sense, however video conference interviews usually take up full day from a candidate, as you have to free up your day (and your mind), stay at home and be ready to answer a rapid succession of questions/perform live coding acts.

by alexk 7y ago
Good question! We usually recommend to submit a fully complete logical part, e.g. auth middleware, client, server. We recommend against submitting incomplete functionality in a PR because it is hard for our interview team to understand whet

Author here. Even seasoned developers have to go onsite and spend 1-2 days doing interview. In this scenario, we are asking for similar amount of time, but with no travel, time that works for everyone and has low stress with an interesting

I did not mean to compare different level of hardships people can face. What I mean is that when someone feels pain and suffering they should look for a change whenever it is possible, regardless of the outside perception of their position.
