They're good but only at $100k per month and above. You really need to use their full suite of products to get the full benefit, and by that time you'll be at $100k per month. They are OK not great for smaller accounts.

It identifies your network segment, but not you as an individual. I guess if you lived alone that could only be you, but it would only identify your household in a family situation. One could make the argument either way.

Do IPv6 addresses count as identifiable? Because they really shouldn't if you understand how SLAAC works with privacy extensions (the default in almost every client stack).

Kubernetes is very complicated, but BGP is not. If the curve for BGP is too steep, you can do OSPF inside your racks with BGP announcements to spine. This is pretty common as OSPF can use area 0 with little to zero configuration. BGP leaf t

No, because that "guy" would want a vacation and would suddenly become the most important person in the company. You're running teams of people, not cogs. Once you realize that, you'll also realize that cloud services ar

That's just not true. Most of PCI compliance is documenting practices and operations. Have you even completed all various levels of compliance? Or have you just done one level?

HN types are enamored with the scale and size that is necessary to run the massive framework for their blogs.

Just because you can't do it doesn't make it impossible. A small team of 4-5 good ops people can scale a network of many thousand nodes, petabytes of storage, and terabits of network throughput. Tech stuff isn't hard. The big

PCI compliance had little to do with where you're hosted, but how you're hosted and what you do with data. AWS is not a magical PCI compliance button.

"Why I like to run my own hardware for $100, Alex" You can patch various tiers of servers at your own leisure, depending on threat levels and exposure. Measure the impact, capacity plan, etc. Rather than it being forced on you acr

VZ had nothing to gain from rolling it out, so they stopped. They put all their eggs in the net neutrality/complain that the network is congested basket. Google might have some smart developers, but they know very little about rolling

I used to defend Sonic as a scrappy startup fighting the good fight for good people. But seriously, it's tiring and old. They needed to raise money to roll out fiber to more than 25 people in the sticks. They didn't and I think a

Can't they just get a bigger boat? Scaling via hardware is a good fix until systems can be made modular for scaling.

This doesn't sound like a wallet problem. That would only break withdrawals. They're not doing any transactions at all.

Can't they just click the auto scale button in AWS? Isn't that the entire point of cloud services?

Sell half after it doubles, then hold the rest until you need the money. Selling half returns your initial investment; what remains is pure profit and you can't lose money.

That's a fair amount of moving parts. What if one of the agents misses the update and keeps using the old server? What happens during that period of 5 seconds where the hosts are switching? It doesn't sound like an atomic, instant

How much effort is required to reconfigure pgbouncer across hundreds of app containers vs moving a single IP? (not using pacemaker/corosync)

There's nothing wrong with "floating" IP's as long as it's done properly.

Our PostgreSQL failover plan is very pedestrian, but it works well (even across datacenters). We run streaming replication off of the primary to a pair of replicas, with one replica in another datacenter. The primary write DB advertises a l

Pacemaker/Corosync is a good tool if you know exactly how it works. However, very few people know exactly how it works. This is a very old problem for that team if you check the mailing lists. If they offered a few "blessed"

Every publicly traded bank discloses all of their assets each quarter. To claim holdings are the crown jewels is a bit much.

That's amazingly simple? I notice that you conveniently left out the "ingress" component. Stuff in K8s talking with other K8s stuff is easy. Getting the flows into K8s apps from outside the K8 network is amazingly clunky in i

How does it compare with Romana? They added a VPC router specifically for large K8 clusters on AWS. https://github.com/romana/vpc-router

One thing this does is create preferential tax treatment for short term bitcoin trades. These are section 1256 contracts, so instant 60/40 tax split, vs 100% real income tax. You'll see some institutions move away from the BTC&#x2

Since these are cash settled futures, a large move up may have the unintended consequence of generating more selling pressure. If you're hedging a long BTC position with futures, you could run short of cash required to maintain the pos
