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.

“Terraform represents anything with an API as code.”
That’s kind of interesting. I wouldn’t have thought about using terraform for managing resources between microservices but didn’t think twice about using it for managing AWS resources.
How hard is it to spin up something that targets a homebrew API? In theory, we could use that to manage our microservice role discovery.
that is perfect
reminds me of these community providers, anyone try them?
What’s an actual example usage of either? What would you be setting out to do by querying an API with terraform???
A cloud provider who doesn’t yet have a module?
provider
and not necessarily cloud. terraform is basically a CRUD wrapper around most any API, whatever it is… https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/index.html
the generic rest and openapi providers allow you to use terraform to manage anything with a compatible API, even if there is no implemented tf provider for that service

I’m always a bit surprised to see that SUSE’s still going - and making strange videos no less.

awesome
would love to see the mongodb managed service in action
Yea, excited to see more of these managed services of common open source software in Google Cloud
that’s been a major differentiator in AWS
also, I think it’s a standup way that they are approach it by including the vendors of the open source software in the process

Does CloudPosse do work on Google Cloud as well?

We have! We did a project with Caltech last year that involved using Geodesic to bring up GPU enabled auto scaling clusters in.m kiosk like fashion to make it easy for researchers to do ML processing
anyone use airtable as their primary project management system?

Is anyone LA based and wants to go for foods/drinks somewhere around downtown some time between 05/07-12?
will cross post in #lax
I am down.
@tamsky lives in downtown
awesome. My airbnb’s on the border of Historic Filipinotown and Echo Park.
First time in LA @Maciek Strömich?
Although my team colleague is LA based somehow he comes to EU more often than i come to us. It must be Berlin’s charm
I’m in as well.
@Maciek Strömich I’m in Echo Park if you need any rec’s.
@davidvasandani thanks. I have few folks providing recs while I’m here and my stay is only a week so I’m not sure if I will manage to catch up will all of them
I’d be down for that if I’m in town
