Try building windows images on it. That will balance the love out a bit :)

yeah aware of that. We do that as well. But scheduled scaling.

We just leave the instances running. Why burn the universe a thousand times a day?

Build in Jenkins. self-contained ReadyToRun .Net core apps. Couple of smaller Go apps. I rather like Go. Target package contains one file! Config is inherited from the environment and cloud provider as the targets are Amazon Linux 2 based.

I am doing blue/green deployments with ansible in 30 seconds from package deploy across 20 nodes. YMMV but docker doesn't inherently make anything faster itself.

I wouldn't use docker even as an established company at this point. I've been using it for several years and it adds complexity rather than removing it in the long run. And yes I include Kubernetes in that as well. They work very

I'd rather have a 5 year old iPhone with suspect parts in it than deal with that sort of shit.

Totally agree there as well.

Very good points there. I have directly experienced the problems associated with blindly assuming that you can write your own consistency guarantees in Redis. I didn't do it but I had to write some tooling to rewrite the AOF to get som

No it doesn’t. They scale amazingly well if you throw money at the problem. Most people never get there. When you do you will know. I’ve been there. When you’re spending $3 million on hardware and licenses a year you either have a viable bu

Make sure whatever you keep them in has an offline option. I was on the end of handling an outage and confluence blew up. We're using Markdown in github now with clone per SRE.

History shows us that greedy people end up with their heads on sticks. Even when they have armies to protect them. It doesn’t take a lot to regress to that again.

The reason they don’t allow repair as such is twofold: competence and liability. Both increase the risk of the equipment malfunctioning in the field. This leads to dead people fairly quickly. Repair is one of those things where the Dunning–

The only thing I can actually suggest is to avoid the hell out of logging if you can. It’s a really expensive concern and should be treated so from day one. If your system has nothing actionable to log them don’t log it. At a high level fro

Damn that’s cheap on wasabi. No egress fees! Thanks for pointing this one out.

Bandwidth on AWS has some scary side effects if you're not careful. A former colleague of mine got screwed for this and S3. Backup storage costs? $57 a month. Just the bandwidth fee to do a restore? $450

That's less than my accidental personal AWS bill a couple of months ago!

Ah yes you're at the fifth level of AWS cost management consciousness. You may have skipped the first four levels. First is the simple test case using something random like Lambda and S3 after dragging through the Whizlabs course. This

The kids clear them up here. In my case I spent several years carrying a scooter with about 3kg of the things on the main pole back from school every day.

Everyone I know has them. I haven't heard of any being lost.

Thanks for this one. Makes perfect sense.

The trick I find is to drink enough alcohol before you get there not to give a shit any more. Whether or not that's a good or a bad idea I haven't established yet.

CentOS has been amazing for me for the last decade on the server side of things. I've rolled out 5, 6 and 7 on a large scale and it has been nothing short of miraculously stable. I hope RockyLinux continues this trend.

I think the films were fairly enjoyable as long as you don't turn up with a film critic's hat on. But yes, missing 5 minutes probably wasn't a big deal at the end of the day.

I really want to switch to Linux for ideological and control reasons but I'm pulled in two other directions. Firstly there is the comfy prison of Apple I currently reside in which is fairly friction free if you stay within the rails bu

Well The Expanse quite frankly teabags to death 20 years of science fiction moves. I can't watch anything else now.

The real killer of the streaming for is that there is a pause button. I missed out a whole 5 minutes of Avengers Endgame thanks to my bladder.
