A place for non-work-related flimflam, faffing, hodge-podge or jibber-jabber you’d prefer to keep out of more focused work-related channels.

Usually if I need to ask, then it means no. :)

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) Yikes, I was thinking the same thing. I wonder what value they get from such a test. Perhaps they get delivery confirmation receipts from the carriers and can measure impact? 🤔

"The President will not originate this alert, say, from his mobile device," a senior FEMA official told reporters on Tuesday. "You would not have a situation where any sitting president would wake up one morning and attempt to send a particular message."

Mark Muttiover 7 years ago

Funny that the need to say that is like 100x with the current pres.

Yea, the last thing I want is a presidential twitter feed to my phone via EBS 😃

Anybody having issues with EKS LoadBalancers? My deployments all go across smooth but my services all have been failing health checks and won't expose externally

Maarten van der Hoefover 7 years ago

Ahhhh didnt know that

Maarten van der Hoefover 7 years ago

antonbabenkoover 7 years ago

As technical users, I am sure we all ran our own smtp/imap/twig setups back in ‘96 on our stampede Linux servers in the basement of our parents home, but interesting to see someone trying to bring it back for the masses.

Can’t speak highly enough about this podcast. Have really enjoyed listening to it, and have learned a lot: https://malicious.life/

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

Cool will check it out. Any other podcasts you guys enjoy?

Channel is getting so big.. Is anyone interested in collaboration on creating AWS+Terraform courses ? Both open source and closed source ?

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago(edited)

@Florian Drescher might be interested in collaboration

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

@Vi is interested in taking the course 😃

Florian Drescherover 7 years ago

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) @Maarten van der Hoef I am indeed interested. I am currently working on a AWS EKS course .... but Terraform is the next one on my list...

Maarten van der Hoefover 7 years ago

Thanks Erik !

GitHub degraded

erikover 7 years ago

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

Wow, serious.

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

wow, still down. 10 hours later.

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

♥️ go out to the ops team there. this can’t have been easy.

Alexander Tolstikovover 7 years ago

does anybody have some ideas how to have a secondary storage solution for the stuff stored on Github?
At this moment Github can be the major single point of failure for many processes…

Same for Dockerhub (private registries as a solution, but not always, again…)

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

GitLab has an automatic replication mode you can use to setup regular offsite backups

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

One of our customers uses this

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

To be clear, you can replicate from GitHub to GitLab or pretty much any git server

Alexander Tolstikovover 7 years ago

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) thank you for the suggestion, it seems like a possible solution, but need to check if it works for the common Gitlab license and not only for EE, though some custom scripts could be used as well…

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

yea - I don’t think they are on enterprise, but could be mistaken. @Igor Rodionov do you know?

lorenover 7 years ago

could do a webhook based solution... push to github, trigger webhook, <function to pull repo and push to alt host>

Alexander Tolstikovover 7 years ago

I’d like to have some turn-key solution, e.g, just put a list of repos in the config file and let the script to do everything else…

Seems like an idea for the hobby project 🙂

Alexander Tolstikovover 7 years ago

and be able to switch all the processes to another set of repos by demand (in ideal world)

Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

this looks easy enough 🙂 https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/replicating-and-automating-sync-ups-for-a-repository-with-aws-codecommit/

Alexander Tolstikovover 7 years ago

just another Jenkins job 😉

thanks for the suggestion! @Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse)

09:45 Pacific Daylight TimeWe have resumed delivery of webhooks and will continue to monitor as we process a delayed backlog of events.

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

finally

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

^ github

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

supposedly webhooks should be working but they still aren’t for me

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago(edited)

anyone else still having these problems with github?

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

We have temporarily paused delivery of webhooks while we address an issue. We are working to resume delivery as soon as possible.

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

Sigh

lorenover 7 years ago

yep. the backlogged webhooks are coming in sporadically, but now i expect lots of CI systems are overloaded...

That’s an amazing acquisition price for red hat. Didn’t realize they were that big.

Hopefully IBM will not destroy them. This could have major long term impact on the industry

lorenover 7 years ago

heh. we're so tired of the ancient pkg versions in RHEL repos, our secret hope is that ibm does destroy them, and in turn drive the govt to finally start authorizing ubuntu 😂

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)over 7 years ago

Haha

Maarten van der Hoefover 7 years ago

Are there any real technology gains with getting RH I wonder, sure they get massive government contracts world wide and an "in", into pushing them into their cloud which would otherwise be hard to do.
