I just learned about YAML anchors a few days ago, shortened up a docker-compose file I had quite nicely 😃

No mic here at the office, just listening in 😃

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) does cert manager act as a private CA? nevermind, it sounds like it's really just providing a way for key exchange

@Dave Yu has joined the channel

@Andriy Knysh (Cloud Posse) has joined the channel

Yeah, I'm working with a LE + Traefik + Consul project right now for customer domain hosting

looks like erik froze for me too

did a bomb hit LA? office internet out?

I'm at this same spot on this question. I want to go with k8s, but i need to really evaluate whether that makes the most sense

Yeah I live in a cloudformation world, so slow, so limited

@oscarsullivan_old kubernetes up and running is a great book and does an amazing job at teaching you the primitives in k8s, starting with pods and going all the way through deployments, statefulsets, etc. it's aging, but the primitives still line up

I've used both, Kubernetes the hard way didn't help me that much. It would probably help more if you were planning to build your own cluster from scratch versus something like GKE or EKS. It did help teach me the various parts of kubernetes that are under the hood, but for running an app, not so much

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) what's your thoughts on building your own K8S cluster with something like kops or kubeadm or whatever versus using EKS?

I know Kubernetes fairly well from a lab standpoint, I want to get it implemented at my new job here though

@Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) yeah good distinction, thanks for reminding me of that

I really want to just use EKS, but I don't know enough to know where that will bite me, or if it will.

Will kubeaws generate cloudformation that I can keep committed in my own git repo, so that I can "gitops" all day long?

@oscarsullivan_old no you still need to provision non-kubernetes resources outside of k8s

This looks like a way to let K8S do cloudformation on your behalf, I'd bet as part of a yaml configuration or something, like you would for a pod or replicaset or deployment

More office hours tomorrow?

Thanks @Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

we offer private consultative office hours for those who might be interested

It's a good thing to have in the back of the pocket. I'd want to have a more defined problem to solve for such a service. I'm really enjoying having found this "SweetOps" community though, and if you guys get more clients out of it, all the better 😃

We're actually having a lot of trouble hiring to build out our devops/central services/whatever team, having a place I could hire might come in handy here soon

it's been preorder for ever

set the channel topic: This is our public "Office Hours" held every Wednesday at 11:30 PST via Zoom (https://zoom.us/j/684901853). It's open to everyone. It's a place to ask questions related to our projects or ask general questions related to DevOps & Cloud.

If you're not dead set on a paper copy, there's a github repo with it out there... loads right up on a kindle

i read it in like 3 days on my train ride to/from work
