Hi everyone, I'm doing a master thesis on cloud computing adoption and I'd be grateful if anyone will answer this survey: https://managementism.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9uXPZCLvOPWM1xP
It should take 10-15 minutes and there's a chance to win amazon gift card

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) had some great results in my initial tests with go-task… here’s a link to my 101 walk through experience. https://bit.ly/363K7AC. thanks for the recommendation!

Have anybody dealt with BigSwitchFabric?

I have searched through the archives and google is not helping either… so hopefully this isn’t described somewhere I have just missed. I am working on setting up a new infra utilizing cloudposse OSS but have bumped into a few issued. I got all the accounts setup and that is working great, also got EKS and other application backing services up (eg RDS) all using terraform… but I am having troubles finding out how to make the next steps through IaC.

In particular I am trying to get Codefresh setup for GitOps but it is not clear how to do this as IaC. I got my Codefresh account setup (using Github to auth) but to add the K8s EKS integration for example I used the helm chart (cloudposse-incubator/codefresh-service-account ). But I did this by hand which seem wrong. Then to setup the project and pipelines I can only find how to do this by hand.

I am working through the cloudposse/codefresh repo but this seems to be make based, not terraform. So it is not clear how this would be applied using gitops. So I come into the same problem as with the helm chart above.

Does anyone have information about how to do these programmatically? Is just doesn’t seem correct to have these be done by hand.

Hey! I’m working on preview environments implementation with helmfile and found a very useful conversation on https://archive.sweetops.com/. I’ve never seen this approach before (to put Slack’s archive to the web). Just want to say thank you to people who made this. This is brilliant and super cool.

Besides the Phoenix project and the Google sre book, does anyone have any good sre/devops book recommendations?

Following on from the above question -- very few SRE resources talk about how disaster recovery work. Mostly they assume you are Google scale, and you don't need explicit disaster recovery because you are big enough for all your applications to run in a globally-distributed, fault-tolerant manner.
But I work for smaller businesses 😅 and need to think about "what options do we have for cross-region DR?" and "how much do we want to spend?" and "how do we maintain this DR process?"
Any suggestions on how to look at this from an SRE perspective?

Is there helm repo for https://github.com/cloudposse/prometheus-to-cloudwatch ?
Looks like there isn't. and I need to clone this repo by myself to be able to use from terraform helm provider?

Until the chart is available in helm repo, I do something like this to put the chart in my own git repo, so that terraform can read its content... git remote add prometheus-to-cloudwatch <https://github.com/cloudposse/prometheus-to-cloudwatch.git> git subtree add --prefix=prometheus-to-cloudwatch prometheus-to-cloudwatch 0.14.0 --squash

I needed to follow some extra steps to make this work...

Mostly same as https://github.com/cloudposse/prometheus-to-cloudwatch/issues/10#issuecomment-446738814 , but since https://kubernetes-charts-incubator.storage.googleapis.com/ is no longer available, I changed repo url to new one.

cd chart
helm repo add common <https://charts.helm.sh/incubator>
helm dependency update

Well, this was still not enough. the chart uses outdated api version, I needed to change it to apps/v1

Hi Everyone👏, I'm doing research on Cloud Computing adoption if you could spend maximum 10 minutes to fill this survey that would be awesome! https://managementism.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9uXPZCLvOPWM1xP  You have a chance to win Amazon Gift card too ! 😄

hi, what's the best channel to ask about kubergrunt, please?

there does not seem to be a channel specific to that.

I have some continuing education money to burn any recommend training or books out there ?

Hey Everyone! I Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!

I’d love to invite you to Women in DevOps this coming Thursday!

If you haven’t heard of Women in DevOps Before then here is the super quick overview:-

Our aim is to help close the DevOps gender gap and empower the DevOps leaders of the future. Our unique platform has become a global movement and is used to not only amplify the voices of women, but of all minority groups within DevOps, to break down the barriers and drive positive change.

We'd like to set the perfect scene to hibernate at home and celebrate our achievements of 2020, whilst uncovering the highs and lows and biggest moments in the DevOps space! What a year!

As we welcome 2021, Women in DevOps and JFrog will be coming together for a panel discussion like no other.

Join us on 3rd December at 12PM PST / 3PM EST for our final networking initiative of the year; expect an insightful discussion with a unique insight led by JFrog’s expert panel to reflect on 2020 and discuss all things DevOps related.

Our Panel:
