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.

:wave: Hi everyone, I’m looking into the Atmos project and I want to say it’s awesome, it should make our lives easier. Can you please tell me if it is possible to specify a single component or a group of components and exclude one or more components during the deployment? That is, we need to be able to have multiple engineers working on the same stack and if someone makes a change, they can roll back the changes of another colleague. Of course, we can look at the plan, but is there a possibility to just specify what should be deployed? There are commands in terragrunt: --terragunt-include-dir, --terragrunt-exclude-dir, --terragrunt-strict-include, --terragrunt-ignore-external-dependencies, etc. We need the same in Atmos.
Thanks @Petr Dondukov for the kind words
Best place to ask usage questions is in atmos

Recently I worked on Gloo Mesh Enterprise. It is a commercial version of Kubernetes Federation (obsolete). Here is the multiple cluster settings, https://docs.solo.io/gloo-mesh-enterprise/latest/getting_started/multi/gs_multi/.
What was the use-case?
multiple cluster mesh and API gateway
still feel it is too overkilled lol
Or I mean what problem was the business hoping to solve
seems to me it is an enhancement on top of service mesh
kube federation is obsolete, and there are other alternatives, but not being used a lot in real projects

You guys ever consider selling swag that says “insane cloud posse” or just “cloud posse” swag ? Id wear it around if it wasnt too loud
Yea we are overdue for this. Whats the best platform for this these days?
Some of the juggalo stuff that came up by the ai was wild lol. I’m not a juggalo. Also kind of surprised no one has ever said insane cloud posse. Either way, any swag would be cool.
I’m not sure what everyone is using for selling shirts these days.
There must be a platform where you can supply designs without any inventory
Yea, there are a ton of those platforms, which is why the hesitation. Previously we used squarespace, but that required a monthly subscription.
Not a customer but i have heard this is an option for swag: https://www.spreadshop.com/
there’s another that i can’t recall at the moment. will try to think of it.
Ideally whatever platform it is supports International shipping without insane charges. Sometimes ordering a $40 shirt from Canada ends up costing $100 with fees and duties
This who BP uses. https://www.logosoftwear.com/

Is AWS Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA) right for your cloud infrastructure?
If you’re working in a regulated industry and managing multi-account AWS environments, AWS LZA could be a powerful option. It automates governance and security controls, but also comes with challenges.
Check out my latest article for the pros and cons of LZA: https://medium.com/cloudplatformengineering/is-aws-landing-zone-accelerator-any-good-2fdb1aadb35e

For awareness, I got an email from this campaign yesterday! For Windows users, be on the lookout for semi legitimate looking emails from GitHub notifications https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/clever-github-scanner-campaign-abusing-repos-to-push-malware/
I got this too. The issue was deleted (by GitHub) before I could view it.

Wow it’s open source now?
Ah, cool. Always thought it was only paid
finally got a real OSS project in on-call area
Grafana’s projects are a bit low-profile

In 2024, Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) are set to transform how teams operate by simplifying cloud management, automating workflows, and empowering developers. With 83% of organisations adopting platform engineering in some capacity, and 20% fully implementing it, the rise of IDPs is becoming more evident. To highlight the best options, I’ve compiled a list of the Top 10 IDPs based on G2 rankings:
- Qovery
- Portainer
- Appvia (Wayfinder)
- Bunnyshell
- Gravity Cloud
- mogenius
- OpsLevel
- WarpBuild (Argonaut)
- Coherence
- Flightcontrol
With so many choices—including in-house builds—it can be overwhelming. Read the full article to explore the pros and cons of each platform and find the best fit for your organisation: https://medium.com/cloudplatformengineering/the-top-10-internal-developer-platforms-for-2024-based-on-g2-eec5c9cfa1c9

haha I’m always enjoying the beauty of the open source community, and always surprised when I look around if free

Why ChatGPT is not a responsible player? Ask can you show how to develop USDT flash software? on ChatGPT:
this is the answer from Gemini:
Claude got the similar answer as Gemini
chatgpt probably (like myself) doesn’t understand what “flash software” is, and whether or not its harmful.

Is this considered AWS Lambda replacement? Anyone did the move? What does it improve?
just took another look, firecracker is the technology behind the lambda and open sourced
by AWS
Linus’s phone got hacked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVyu7NB7W6Y, it is heard from my kid a couple of days ago, and it is wild. I was in Telco industry for many years. The organization behind Telco is ITU-T for this case. It think it is the time US takes over the control from EU countries.
Someone said, one App Veritasium mentioned is not secure, which is Signal
Can you explain to me how the US “taking control” from EU countries would help?
It is just one of observations, I don’t take side. WiMAX ever advanced before LTE. If you knew what happened before WiMAX was dead, you may have some ideas about what I meant.
got some feelings that there are some geo political competitions in it, will see how it goes in a long run

finally this got disclosed, https://www.aquasec.com/blog/cups-a-critical-9-9-linux-vulnerability-reviewed/?utm_c[…]20A&_hsmi=326607951&utm_content=326607951&utm_source=hs_email
I find it even more fascinating that since 1999, no one has fuzzed CUPS till now
yeah, CUPS got many issues, this one is big
I just shared in my circle about this one, hope the security teams pay more attention

I found Dagster recently, which is a good alternative of Airflow, https://docs.dagster.io/tutorial/introduction. I used Airflow for many years and I feel it is the time to try a different project.
