> Kubernetes can re-attach that volume on another host, start up a new container and you are back in business. There are still some bugs with this, particularly on AWS. Getting better with every release, though.

Python does have bit shifting, for what it's worth.

Google PubSub has TTLs on each message, with the queue having the default value for new messages. I've found this to work really well in practice.

I had a Nexus 5 as well. Big improvements with the jump up to the 5X. I'd hope that this year's model will continue the trend.

1.4 to 1.5 is the really painful upgrade. The rest are much less so. Especially after 1.6.

Would certainly make it easier to evaluate and gradually migrate to rkt. I don't have any plans on setting a separate cluster up to test rkt anytime soon.

I haven't checked it out yet personally. I'm not sure what else I'd want to put on top of Kubernetes, though. The only thing I'm really left wanting right now is distributed cron (which is supposed to be landing in 1.4).

We use Drone CI for this with excellent results: http://readme.drone.io/usage/overview/ It's especially great for compiled stuff, but we use it heavily with Python as well. In the case of the former, you do a

Whoops, I'd edit this but apparently my mobile app doesn't support such a thing. GCE in the parent should be GCR (Google Container Registry).

Google's GCE isn't much better. CoreOS's Quay is the best that I've seen. Nice UI, and a head start over Docker Hub's image security scanning.

It's not that it's lacking at all, but on GCP I just click a few buttons and Google spins a Kubernetes cluster up for me. They handle my node OS upgrades for me. They've also got a really slick in-place rolling cluster upgrad

Only thing to keep in mind with Bitbucket is that they seem to struggle to keep things running smoothly. Just spent a year working at a company who used Bitbucket full time. Their git servers were slow or down at least once a month, and we

It seems to be taking more of a South approach, and I really like this. Shake out conceptual issues, find an API that works well, iterate a bunch. Django release cadence is pretty slow, so having it simmer outside of it makes a ton of sense

It's not really the same thing. Sentry is far more general purpose, and doesn't require GCE. If your language or framework lacks support, you can add it. Also has a bunch more functionality. Google's offering is great on App

SimpleDB got somewhat put out to pasture, in that it technically exists but isn't linked to hardly anywhere in their docs.

PubSub should handle all of your SQS needs and then some. It's a weird combo of SNS and SQS. Has topics, too.

It's not at all a forgotten option, it's just not one that the majority choose to take. There's nothing wrong with deciding to have kids. We're not running out of people, but we're not over-crowded and population gr

That's an implementation detail that doesn't get at the root of why they are snuggling up to AWS. Their customers aren't just using virtual servers + S3. That is the important tidbit to grasp. If I'm a customer tha

Because then you aren't on AWS. "Just going to Hetzner" means mostly losing everything else that AWS offers. You can still use some services externally, but the latency is higher and there are ingress/egress costs to con

I've been overall very impressed with the direction of Google Cloud over the last year. I feel like their container strategy is much better than Amazon's ECS in that the core is built on open source technology. This can wipe away

I've ran into this as well. Having a hard time remembering what the issue was. Maybe DNS-related?

Kubernetes has been amazing for us. Getting better every month. More recently, Drone for CI has been a quantum leap in usability for us over Jenkins. Built on top of Docker, has service container support built in, and has the unique feature
