Non-work banter and water cooler conversation
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.

Guess I am back on PagerDuty
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."
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
If you are still having trouble try asking in #aws or #kubernetes
@Matthew did you use our EKS modules?

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.

Channel is getting so big.. Is anyone interested in collaboration on creating AWS+Terraform courses ? Both open source and closed source ?
@fdrescher might be interested in collaboration
@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) @maarten I am indeed interested. I am currently working on a AWS EKS course …. but Terraform is the next one on my list…
Thanks Erik !

GitHub degraded
Wow, serious.
2018-10-22
wow, still down. 10 hours later.
go out to the ops team there. this can’t have been easy.
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…)
GitLab has an automatic replication mode you can use to setup regular offsite backups
One of our customers uses this
To be clear, you can replicate from GitHub to GitLab or pretty much any git server
@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…
yea - I don’t think they are on enterprise, but could be mistaken. @Igor Rodionov do you know?
could do a webhook based solution… push to github, trigger webhook, <function to pull repo and push to alt host>
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
and be able to switch all the processes to another set of repos by demand (in ideal world)
this looks easy enough https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/devops/replicating-and-automating-sync-ups-for-a-repository-with-aws-codecommit/
Was just looking at this… Even though we use bitbucket… Github’s folly got them thinking it might be best to do more to back up our code and have it be available even if bitbucket wouldn’t be. Easy to forget that our repositories can be a SPF as well.
just another Jenkins job
09:45 Pacific Daylight TimeWe have resumed delivery of webhooks and will continue to monitor as we process a delayed backlog of events.
finally
^ github
supposedly webhooks should be working but they still aren’t for me
anyone else still having these problems with github?
We have temporarily paused delivery of webhooks while we address an issue. We are working to resume delivery as soon as possible.
Sigh
yep. the backlogged webhooks are coming in sporadically, but now i expect lots of CI systems are overloaded…
finally!!
literally 24 hours later from the first report.

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
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
Haha
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.

This looks great for those that are not for whatever reason running unlimited staging envs. Sometimes, it’s just not feasible or high up on the prio list to get to it… nice stop gap.
^ interesting app
