Kubernetes Storage Without the Pain: Simplyblock in 15 Minutes
Whether you're building a high-performance cloud-native app or running data-heavy workloads in your own infrastructure, persistent storage is necessary. In Kubernetes, this means having storage that survives pod restarts, failures, and rescheduling events—and that’s precisely what simplyblock brings to the table: blazing-fast, scalable, and software-defined storage with cloud economics. A hyper-converged storage solution, like simplyblock enables Kubernetes storage par excellence. In […]https://www.simplyblock.io/blog/install-simplyblock-hyper-converged/
#Pulumi is amazing you guys. If you need to build #infrastructurefan
with code, it's honest to god the best tool I've yet seen in my 30+ year career in terms of being able to actually leverage and re-use your previous efforts.
Like, I just wrote maybe 15 lines of novel configuration total, probably 8 of that being subnet listings for VPCs, and I'm now watching a new #AWS #EKS cluster crawl out of the primordial cloud ooze :)
There are plenty of other tools that do this, but pretty much all of them use DSLs that actually bring more complexity to the table rather than reducing it. Pulumi lets me code in my favorite programming language instead. Priceless. And it's #floss!
(They do have a paid service you can use if you want for storing your infra's state. We just use an S3 bucket)
Scenario: AWS #EKS cluster, private API endpoint only, devs need to ssh tunnel through an EC2 bastion host to connect.
`aws eks update-kubeconfig` writes the FQDN of the API endpoint. However, using a tunnel, we need to connect to localhost and the forwarded port.
Any magic way to manage this without editing the kubeconfig file for every EKS cluster after running `aws eks update-kubeconfig`?

Wow. AWS managed to make the Kubernetes control plane simple... and the rest *way* harder. WTF is going on with this EKS ALB CNI
Alright Kubernetes kretins - how nasty is this?
EKS-managed cluster, EFS CSI (so NFS under the hood), ReadWriteMany PVCs, one writer pod, several readers, accessing a few thousand SQLite databases/files.
