His Variant project looks very cool
Do you know if this is a good PID 1? (killing things that need killed, etc.) Could always start with something like https://github.com/Yelp/dumb-init

It’s not really needed. It is so you can define the business logic of how into deploy the application.
For example how to do blue green

What’s that website that was shared before where you can see what other companies are paying for a SaaS?
We’re looking at terraform cloud
Right now it’s mostly just a newsletter it seems like, and to join (at least when I did a month or two ago) you have to give them a certain number of pricing stories, but I’m interested to see where this goes.
Thanks - a shame it isn’t widely adopted though

I have a question for tomorrow’s Office Hours. How to maintain a single source of truth and updating a secrets manager (AWS SM or HashiCorp Vault) while having some audit and using a CI?
Good question!

I have one thing I’d like to review today with those on the call.
We are working on releasing our official “code of conduct” for SweetOps
Would love your feedback.

LSIF example
Do not ask questions in #announcements. Search channel instead or suggest one, if you can’t find one.
You should be able to limit people’s ability to post in general, That’s better than trying to enforce a rule
Usually when I see that as the situation what people have done is completely disable/delete general, create an #announcements channel, and go from there
Yea, not a bad suggestion. I do like that people can welcome each other in #announcements though
questions asked in zoom
As a general rule of thumb, If I am able to automatically enforce something, I’ll always try to do that rather than try to make sure people are following a rule. A perfect example is - don’t use a coding style document, use Prettier
and reject if it changes files
and reject if it changes files
I’d offer that it’s even more blissful to have the CI update and commit fmt changes for you if you forget.
I wish that was done more.
I’m not a big fan of CI making commits to my code. There are minor exceptions like Weave Flux updating versions, but other than that I want commits to my codebase to be coming from developers.
Pre-commit hooks take care of automating it from the developer’s standpoint
I’d suggest that’s still playing favorites to a tool git – those hooks won’t get run if you create a commit using any other tool
there are other tools ?
- open a commit + pr from the github web ui
- use another compatible tool, like
hg/mercurial
plus commit hooks fall afoul of the local-workstation-configuration problem
now you need tooling to maintain versions of tools used by your hooks
Thank you @Blaise Pabon!
I did not get too far into the weeds with my project. I’m happy I asked about this. I’m going to start using geodesic
@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) I took a closer look at how you are using geodesic and what you had explained during office hours, I can’t wait to get home and start testing this.
I think piecing it together as you did today helped a great deal.
@dalekurt that’s great news! let me know how it goes….
I was just having some fun with using a Makefile for pulling remote modules
here’s a demo:
Here’s the video from today’s “office hours” (from when we hit “record”)

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) Could you re-iterate the strategy and pros for deploying a kubernetes node pool within a single AZ opposed to deploying across multiple AZs?
AWS calls them Node Groups
Yep, I second this.

Little show-and-tell I can do tomorrow at office hours if people are interested. We’re using the tool pre-commit heavily in most of our projects. This is an example from the state backend project I set up for one of our stacks.

@roth.andy I’m looking forward to that, I was reading about it earlier this morning on a reddit post - https://github.com/antonbabenko/pre-commit-terraform/blob/master/README.md
my boss just pushed back a meeting that now conflicts with the first half of office hours, so i might miss the first half. We’ll see how long the other meeting lasts
Hope you make it, would love to see what you have done.

I’m stuck in a meeting still, might have to miss this one. we’ll see.
Was lookin’ forward to your show-and-tell!

Sorry I missed office hours! If people still want to see the pre-commit stuff I can definitely show it at the next one
