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kube federation is obsolete, and there are other alternatives, but not being used a lot in real projects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.
