This project runs as a Kubernetes Job that aims at killing pods when it thinks the cluster is unbalanced. You can run it once or as a Cron Job to run it periodically.

I don’t remember who asked about ECS and terraform yesterday
But we have some news
Check out this PR: https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws/pull/11506
This is great
Oh wow, what a coincidence! We just talked about that

Something for this weeks office hours perhaps.
I am currently trying to move some of our IaC logic out of the IaC repo and provide a module / tool to our application developers to provosion the databases for them incl. deployment of secrets in side of k8s. (See: https://github.com/helm-notifier/Terraform-Infrastructure/blob/master/02-step2/postgresHelmNotifier.tf)
If you have Ideas or are doing this already I would love to hear about it!
Suggest to stick with official style conventions

Was the CloudFlare demo in today’s office hours?
it is planned
Still happening?
yes, join now
I’ll do it when you join
@Igor
I think I might have an outdate invite/zoom link
TY. I’m on
Thanks for that demo @Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse), that was awesome
Thanks for the demo Erik.

@Pierre Humberdroz PROMCEPTION!
our way currently is currently prometheus per ns -> master prometheus per cluster -> dedicated monitoring cluster prometheus -> elastic metric exporter to our elasticsearch cluster and after 14 days -> backup to blobstorage with a tool to get the data restored of a given time range.
Side project
that’s rad!
nice!
that is rad. where’d the case come from?
Very nice interview with the Prometheus core team on: https://changelog.com/podcast/375
@roth.andy I have questions for you about your Raspberry Pi cluster.
shoot
Are you using Kubernetes or K3s?
I started the project before K3s supported multi-master, so currently it uses kubeadm
Have you been deploying using manifest files or helm?
I am using k3s with k3sup
The cluster doesn’t work yet, I got busy with other stuff, but it would definitely use helm
OK cool, that happened to me as well. Started it last year and I just got through rebuilding it with k3s. I had set it up with kubeadm before but wanted to use something lighter.
My plan is to get prometheus-operator Helm chart to get it up and running.
Then setup Rook using USB keys on each of the raspberry pi
I missed what system you’re talking about, is this a codefresh change? re: the PV changes
yes
@btai has more details
FROM node:12-slim
RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get -y install git && apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/* /usr/share/man/?? /usr/share/man/??_*
ENV SOURCES /app
COPY . ${SOURCES}
WORKDIR ${SOURCES}
RUN chown -R node:node ${SOURCES} \
&& chmod 777 /tmp
USER node
RUN npm install --production --quiet
EXPOSE 5000
CMD ["npm", "start"]
I think this is what you don’t want to do for maximum layer caching
right
so a step before the COPY . would be to only copy over the packages.json and then download/process the deps.
Also consider using npm ci instead of npm install
I am not familiar with npm ci; what does that do?
nice tip!
interesting @roth.andy, will test out npm ci , always looking to improve build times
jk we already do this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58482655/what-is-the-closest-to-npm-ci-in-yarn
@Pierre Humberdroz
Split into 2 projects
FROM node:12-slim
RUN apt-get -y update && apt-get -y install git && apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/* /usr/share/man/?? /usr/share/man/??_*
ENV SOURCES /app
WORKDIR ${SOURCES}
RUN chown -R node:node ${SOURCES} \
&& chmod 777 /tmp
USER node
EXPOSE 5000
CMD ["npm", "start"]
FROM theBase:someVersion
COPY ./packages.json ${SOURCES}
RUN npm ci
COPY . ${SOURCES}
Also, consider using webpack and nginx or something instead of npm start
First time I hear to use nginx per container ? Why would I want to do that @roth.andy? It also goes against the philsophy of 1 process per container IMO.
In regards to webpack what is the reasoning for that?
nginx would be the one process, instead of node. Webpack can build a production deployment package with minified javascript
So you wouldn’t actually need to run npm install or anything, since webpack just creates one big index.js
this is an API and not a frontend project.
ah
no worries.
the main benefit of webpack or gulp in the backend world is you do not have to require everything on startup which makes startup time a lot faster. And the ability to use newer features
(or just use a multi-stage docker build, no?)
Yep, assuming you have caching set up. Since I don’t have caching it’s faster to actually make a base image
good point.
Anybody tried out yarn 2 yet?
