I just checked and you are correct. I guess they probably leveled the old building, which was 3030 Corvin. Anyone that was there in the mid 2000s remembers when Facebook heated the place up and they had box fans every where, an extra gene

Those have been vacated by AWS for quite a while.

Most of the ones in the Bay Area are, to my knowledge relatively small "retail" colo spaces. 200 Paul, 528 Bryant is PAIX, 11 Great Oaks is Equinix. SV2 got shut down years ago. I don't remember AWS ever being in 3000 Corvi

Your point about global failure modes is well-taken. Even still, one could reasonably expect inter-region networking not to be so difficult. As for the instances I tested, they were m4 and r4. To get full 10GE out of either, I needed to u

It correlates with my experience pretty closely. Granted, I haven't really used Azure in six months.

I have >100 development environments, each of which is comprised of ~23 pods or so. I think I'm running 70 16-core nodes.

The kube-state-metrics service runs as part of the kubernetes API and provides container metrics. It replaces heapster. The node exporter runs as a daemonset on each node and provides node specific metrics like CPU, memory, disk IO, networ

My org has hit the 100 pods/node limit and it bugs me immensely. We have a fair number of idle pods and we're using n1-highmem-16 nodes. I'd rather be using much larger nodes, but I'd have a hard time warming the cores

If you write your application correctly, it should be portable between kubernetes clusters. Figuring out how to manage kubernetes on different providers can be a little tricky.

Couple things: Cross-region networking. To this day, I'm flabbergasted this isn't something that AWS has. All the other networking bits seem more sensible to me as well. Another, is 2Gbps per core up to 8 cores which is way mo

Jumping on this bus. AWS UI was usable. Mostly stuck to automation or the CLI though. Azure was... I didn't use it a lot, but I thought it was terrible. With GCP, I find the CLI to be more intuitive, but even still, I find myself us

Give GKE a whirl. This is the same advice I gave to the AKS product manager.

Hell, I'm not anti-car. I love cars. Been a gear-head all my life, have done various kinds of motorsports hobbies, autocross, offroading, etc. Even still, the extent to which our society has become subservient to automobiles simply b

Aren't there congestion fees to enter central London with a car?

The problem with this particular discussion is that it is not rational. The notion that we continue bear the overwhelming external costs of automobiles in order to preserve the status quo is patently irrational. Anyone that arrives at the

I use preemptible nodes extensively in my production environment.

That last part, I wholly agree with. The learning curve is steep and difficult.

Not in my environment. Creating a cluster is a one-liner, no Ansible required. The node pool comes with that, which sets up the hosts. Databases are all created in cluster with a helm chart. Many people will advise against running statefu

Given the adoption of Kubernetes, would you honestly recommend that someone seriously consider ECS?

The distinction is between traditional config management and instances vs. Kubernetes. I could've seen similar benefits running k8s in AWS. I simply chose GKE because it's superior to other offerings. There are other things to l

If what you want to run is already a helm chart, then that makes for a good starting point.

Triple-backing this recommendation. My team has deployed in AWS using KOPS and EKS, Azure with AKS and ACS-engine, and GKE in GCP GKE is far, far easier to manage, update, etc.

Have you looked at helm?

My org made a similar transition. It's hard to articulate exactly precisely how much we saved as our "production" or revenue generating environments are roughly the same. We transitioned out of AWS where we had relatively we

Regardless of your skepticism, the benefits are real. Scaling applications in k8s, updating, and keeping configs consistent are a great deal easier for me than using Ansible or any other config management tool. In the end, it's a singu

I got the kickstarter as well. My 8yo loves it and it's something I really enjoy playing along with.
