CatOps Digest 2024-03-05
What was on CatOps in the last couple of weeks...
I got a little bit distracted, so this digest comes a bit later. Nevertheless, here we go!
Charity
Pavlo and Naya continue raising funds for drones and telecom equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
UA Responders together with NayTak are raising funds for camouflage nets, an IVL, and a defibrillator. Also, they do it as a raft, so you can get a remnant of an S-300 rocket for every donation >50 UAH. You can donate to the MonoBank jar or top up their card directly: 5375 4112 1191 0851.
If you’re donating not via MonoBank, make sure to add your contact details, so they know how to contact you in case you win.
Also, here’s a drone that you helped to crowdfund! Thank you so much for that!
Digest
Kubesplit - a utility to split Kubernetes manifests into separate files, for example, when executing “helm template”.
Postmortem from Resend - Resend had a 12 hours outage because they accidentally wiped out their production database.
S3 cache for GitHub Actions - a part of the RunsOn offering that helps to run self-hosted GitHub Actions worker nodes.
Kubernetes tracing with AWS X-Ray - an article from a fellow Substacker on how to trace requests in EKS using AWS observability tools.
That’s all for this time. Just to keep you in the loop: I’m editing a new episode of our voice chat. I hope to release it soon, but we’ll see.
Bye!
