Creating a Lambda CronJob, from a Custom-Built Python Docker Container
3 Jan 2024 | original ↗

So I wanted to make a cronjob in lambda… I found myself needing to make a cronjob using AWS Lambda. It was fairly complex, used python and JS (both!) inside of one container and needed to be useable anywhere, both from my local machine or inside of Lambda. I knew there were a few different […]

24 Dec 2023 | original ↗

I while back I built a number of pipelines using the docker-build-push action here. This uses buildx and buildkit to do its build/push stuff, and allows if needed for things like multi-arch builds. However what I quickly discovered was that you could not use ECR for the caching part of this, which at the time […]

Lately, instead of adding more blog content, I’ve been working on a new site to attach to ShavingTheYak. Its an automated blog feed/aggregator, and its getting […]

They are claiming 10,000 Terabyte storage solutions by 2030, and the product lifespan apparently would be more than 5 thousand years. I generally take commercial claims with a grain of salt when I see them, […]

What is DevOps? Philosophy, Processes, Tooling Explained
2 Dec 2023 | original ↗

I know this has been done many times before, but I still see random people on Reddit asking this question, and it’s clear to me that almost no-one who has written up job descriptions for any remotely ‘devopsy’ related job posting ever understood what DevOps really is, or rather what it can be.

30 Nov 2023 | original ↗

So lets say you have a project, where you want to write some code but you need some input from the chatbot somewhere in your execution. Maybe you want a sentence translated, or maybe you are trying to answer a question or analyze some data. So the first part of this, of course, is that […]

27 Nov 2023 | original ↗

Whether you use Terraform or something else to code your EKS cluster configurations, you will have likely run into the following scenario: Hmm – these nodes are old, lets swap them out with a newer instance type.
