#kubernetes - November 2024

Hello, has anyone here managed to deploy Apache Kafka using Strimzi operator in AWS EKS? I've managed to deploy a cluster but I need to expose the consumer's port to the outside world but I can't find an example that I could follow

I notice the k3s installer is primarily just a bash script that does everything. Does anyone here use k3s in prod? If so, how did you deploy it? Their official bash script? or did you roll your own automation that created all the nessecary configs/files (e.g. systemd units)?

Hi, quick question any ideas on how people manage updating , databases caches configs for apis and similar for urls etc? getting tired of writing config maps any way people automated that?

Hey - we last implemented a test library for our k8s/OCP clusters in like 2019, it's a bunch of python script/ansible modules which perform assertions using the k8s api and sometimes the cloud provider apis. We generally run the tests on a schedule a few times a day on our prod clusters, and run them before and after upgrades (less useful than the monitoring we have, but still handy for more niche cases that monitoring can't cover). Seems an old fashioned way to do it but it works.

Time's come to update it, maybe reimplement with some other tech.

What are some other approaches people have seen or are using? Any recommendations welcome!
