#office-hours - October 2020

I am extremely proud (really, tickled pink) to present my company’s very first open source project! 🤩

https://github.com/saic-oss/terraform-aws-rke-rancher-master-cluster

@here office hours is starting in 30 minutes! Remember to post your questions here.

serverless.tf - I want to explain how we use Terraform to do serverless on AWS, and explain briefly the reasons. And also, I want to just say “Hi!” 🙂

They offer a 5 free user tier so that is a plus. Looks like the free has cost estimation and policy evaluation included out of the gate

Wow. Gotta look into this for sure

$20 active user + month is killer in comparison if it’s as feature rich overall

missing netlify

If we have time at the end….

I’m trying to implement a better backup solution for SQL Server in AWS EC2 instances.
EFS has been mentioned . I haven’t done this before and wondering if anyone has had luck with using EFS for backups from an ec2 instance as a “network storage” solution backed by AWS.

Most other solutions I’ve seen use EBS/AMI snapshots which i doubt will give me RPO of 15

This is awesome ❤️

Going to try the github action. So cool! Thanks for sharing @antonbabenko you are doing so many freaking cool things.

Really cool @antonbabenko! Sharing with team!

I found one tact that works is to tie open source to recruiting efforts. And of course, to get executive leadership buy in along those lines.

Thanks for the taskfile!

Does anyone use a task runner framework like this instead? Python being so popular thought it might have traction? https://pydoit.org/

Also precommit in vscode gets difficult, console fine. I want to figure out how to get precommit working better. Maybe will chat in general about this more.

Going to try taskfile. Cross platform as well. Seems much much simpler than variant2 with a focus on replacing make instead, which for simple quick tasks is what I wanted to find. I use InvokeBuild which is very robust, but not as simple

absolutely second the idea that a big part of serverless is eliminating the need for a vpc. that was a revelation to me, recently. it's incredibly freeing

here is the claranet version: https://github.com/claranet/terraform-aws-lambda

@Raymond Butcher has also published something of a v2 with a whole new set of features: https://github.com/raymondbutcher/terraform-aws-lambda-builder

But it’s a common thing for the whole industry. “Helloworlds” always work great, but something beyond this - hmmmm, now we talk)

Another use case for scalr perhaps 😁 Need to bring my container if I want it to fully be controlled with libraries etc.

@antonbabenko suggestion. If you want others to be able to easily contribute, debug the main module…. consider adding a gitpod yml 🙂 For open source i think it’s free and you’ll get a full fledged ready to go environment with all tools for folks to run. That or I guess maybe a docker image + gitpod 🙂

That was cool. Thanks a lot to everybody involved!

@Sebastian Stadil 👆️

(Errr recording from today’s session coming soon. Scalar public beta announced. Some interest to discuss perhaps differences between scale the other solutions)

I can't talk so I'll miss office hours this week 😆 ( had a small dental emergency and I needed a bunch of anesthetic so I can't feel my mouth )

@here office hours is starting in 30 minutes! Remember to post your questions here.

I keep peeling layers of k8 and finding more that I don't understand. I'd appreciate hearing a discussion of the most important concepts in k8, to learn as a platform for managing/configuring going forward.

re: secrets, operators, chamber etc... and even ECS's secrets support. I still prefer Chamber in most cases.
explicit is better than implicit, it's said... and I agree. However, it's also alot more verbose. 🙂.

EKS should support "UserData".

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) @antonbabenko here's the hashicorp recommendation... https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/version-constraints.html#terraform-core-and-provider-versions

minamijoyo/hcledit actually works much better than I expected, so apologise for misleading info I said yesterday during Office Hours 🙂

It might be fun to talk about our biggest failures...in terms of what we learned

After looking into Hashi’s waypoint more, I’m just now taking the time to dig into pack / Cloud Native BuildPacks. Pretty damn cool project.

Would love to hear in the next office hours if anyone in the community is using pack > docker build, how that journey went, and what the ramifications were on local dev workflows. Also, if anyone has successfully patched a CVE in prod using kpack I’d love to hear about that too.

Q: What do you use for local kubernetes development ? Skaffold / Draft / garden.io ?

This could be a question for next week....
I have a desire to have a little dev environment on my laptop... most of the time I am pulling open source projects and self hosting them with some small modifications...
Sometimes it's a monolith project, sometimes a Docker image, sometimes a k8s microservice....
So I thought I would conjure up a local haproxy/dnsmasq and have all my http traffic go through there, where it would get redirected to a local port, or to the ingress of my k3d cluster.

Does anyone already do this?
Is there a smarter way?

@Matt Gowie When I talked about buildpacks giving you the ability to centrally manage updates across a fleet of applications, I was referring to a fairly advanced use case, where updates to a run-time images in a stack trigger rebuilds. I just watched the HashiCorp Waypoint presentations* and I think I may have missed the point. The difference between pack and docker options in the build clause is chiefly a distinction of convenience. pack offers up dynamic detection and creation of a runnable image. docker would require the developer provide the dockerfile. I’d say pack is super convenient when it works, and a real pain to grok when it doesn’t. docker is more up front work, and a good fallback when pack proves to be not a good fit.
