I'm sure there's a limit, but I don't see anything that's published. I, for one, wouldn't ever want to operate a firewall with enough rules where I'd have to be concerned about such a thing. Eek.

You're going to have to go multi-cloud if you truly want to insulate yourselves from this sort of problem. If and when you do, give serious consideration to how you handle DNS.

Projects in the context of GCP can encompass all the necessary infrastructure to build a highly available service using standard practices. There's no indication anywhere from GCP themselves that a project could be a domain of failure

This occasionally happens with gsuite users as well. Businesses lose access to all their email and documents. Good times.

I think this is another instance of GCP just being really, really terrible at interacting with customers. I'm biased a bit (in favor of GCP), I suppose in that I have a fair bit of infra in GCP and I really like it. I'll share a

True. Even still, I feel like it's still reasonably likely that the robot would shut down a project for "suspicious activity".

This has nothing to do with enterprise support, which is terrible and everything to do with the fact that Google has automated as much decision making as possible and is terrible at interacting with customers. I'm not sure if it's

GCP's managed Kubernetes product is superior to EKS and AKS. I personally prefer using their API and tools over AWS. They seem more sensible. Azure is horrible. GCP offers inter-region networking and more sensible firewalls and route

IIRC, I populated the thing with 10TB or thereabouts. For small block sizes, I got hundreds of IOPS. Latency was pretty terrible in almost all cases. I wrote a great deal on this topic for internal consumption. Those benchmarks weren'

In the past, I've been a hiring manager receiving resumes treated this way by agencies. They always, always screw them up. The resume is hard to read, formatted incorrectly or whatever. Most of the time, I simply went by the linkedin

I've been running a reasonably large kubernetes cluster (~600 cores) in production for the last 6 months or so. I've had to deal with hotspots, both IO, CPU and load (which could be either). Getting requests and limits dialed ha

I did a fair number of tests last year and couldn't get anything like that. If anyone is interested, the poorly formatted output of that is here: https://github.com/halbritt/benchmarks

Couple things: Mesos had a more sophisticated scheduler with better isolation for disk IO. It could also run arbitrary binaries in cgroups. I.e. a JVM based application without having to run it in a docker container. Uber took advantage o

That point comes way further along, assuming you're talking about bare metal and not simply cloud instances. For my workloads, serverless functions would end up costing 4-5x more than operating the infrastructure myself. Given that my

That's odd. I recently prepared an xps15 with Ubuntu 18.04 for one of my engineers moving from a Mac. I don't recall having to tweak the touchpad in any way. I did need to install the correct nvidia driver and use nvidia-prime t

Check out the book "Work Rules!" by Laszlo Block. It describes the onboarding process at Google and specifically what impact certain behaviors had on retention. It's a useful read and the practices they've adopted can b

I'm running it on Ubuntu and like it much better than pycharm for python development.

My point was that a browser-only solution is more tenable than installing an application in many cases. I get files from customers in Fortune 100 companies and many of their IT departments absolutely prohibit the installation of something l

I use a javascript library that works in the browser and supports S3 file copy chunking and resuming. Host that in a simple S3 bucket, create a target bucket with acceleration enabled and bob's your uncle. It's very efficient. I

CloudBerry is an application that needs to be installed on the client workstation, something which many corporate IT departments do not allow.

That's kind of the thing, though: Folks are using python to bang out trivial pieces of software all the time. Dynamic types are great for that. Occasionally, those trivial pieces of software become non-trivial, in which case, having

Eh, I'm using one of the crap Uverse gateways stuck in bridge mode connected their Gigapower service. I consistently get 900mbps up and down when connected to a GigE port. All this for $80. That's way, way above par IMHO. As a

Yeah, no. ISPs don't really employ experts any more. The experts won't work for them. They haven't done anything innovative since the heady days of the dotcom boom.

I referred to the two data centers I had in the US. How many data centers do you think Oracle operates in the US, presently?

Way more? Nah. I ran a couple data centers on either coast each burning about half a megawatt, which isn't that much in the grand scheme of thing. My employer at the time offered a SaaS product to Fortune 100 companies. The product r

Ditto. Kinda. I moved a lot of infra out of AWS and into GKE which I'm loving. Outside of GKE, which is great. GCP has a few things that I like better than AWS. I also moved some infra into Azure, specifically into ACS, and then AKS

I've a friend up in Washington that loves it. That said, I've worked with a lot of ex-AWS people that couldn't stand the culture.

It's pretty straightforward to look at prices throughout the course of the real-bubble and speculate about that fact. A few places along the peninsula had stagnant or slowly rising property values, like Palo Alto. Values in SF either

In the period after the downturn and just before the market started to tick up in mid 2012, there were a number of Asian investors buying up large swaths of foreclosed and distressed homes in Oakland for cash. I recall this specifically, as

Agreed. Personally, I feel like Inktank was pretty close and when they were acquired by Red Hat, progress seemed to slow to a crawl. I haven't run the last couple of versions. It could be much improved. Certainly bluestore is promisi
