Any recommendations on an NFS like solution for kubernetes? I am trying to support "high" density nodes with 32+ pods that need storage and it appears there are limits with how many PV's that can be attached (ex 24). I am trying to avoid using EFS and was originally thinking i could use mini.io but turns out they dropped it from their offering entirely. Anyone here have a kubernetes based recommendation?

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) Do you remember which Alex asked about a DevOps internship program on our last call? I saw this article and thought he might like to read it : https://www.infoq.com/podcasts/sre-apprentices/ .

Can i ask what tools u use to visualize terraform (from tf code to diagrams etc?) not only a graph tool but a real presentable diagrams

Sharing to just stir things up for office hours. :)


I scrolled through the comments off his LinkedIn post they appear to have not gone with kunernetes but went with kvm + docker.

For office hours: Any insight on AWS Cost CLI

I know we have discussed infracost, but its closely tied to resources that are deployed using Terraform. Looking for similar tools that can be applied across a tenant-based account (meaning tag based grouping is key) with resources that were deployed in all different kinds of ways. 🙃

Hello - Might be a dumb or beginner question. I just joined the slack channel. Where can i find the modules listed in "

module "vpc" {
  source  = "cloudposse/vpc/aws"

"
I don't see a module/repo named vpc under cloudposse

Question for next week (or even today, if time permits):

Anyone using a golden image across clouds? Is there a vendor that does this? I've noticed AWS has an ubuntu user, Linode has a root user, and I think GCP has it's own convention. I'm looking at rolling my own solution with packer but would rather not since all I want is "consistency" between my ubuntu 22.04 LTS images.

Topic for office hours : https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/02/lastpass-hackers-infected-employees-home-computer-and-stole-corporate-vault/ - I think most of us have Admin on our companies cloud systems - how do we ensure we don’t become the weak link?
