DevOpsLinks

Hey there,

We're thrilled to announce a new feature that we've developed for FAUN users: the ability to share links on faun.dev!

Now, you can share your latest blog posts, projects, and discoveries with the community, giving you even more opportunities to connect with fellow FAUN members and share your knowledge.

While we previously provided features to enable you to write and publish posts on our website, we recognize that sharing links can be easier and more convenient for some of you way to share your content. That's why we've added this new feature, to offer you more flexibility in how you share your expertise with the FAUN community.

To get started, simply login to your FAUN account and head to the " Create post " link on your dashboard. There, you can create a new link and add a title, description, and thumbnail image. You can also tag your link to make it easier for other users to find.

We value your feedback and suggestions, so please don't hesitate to reach out to us by replying to this email with any comments or questions.

Thank you for being a member of our community!

Best regards,
The FAUN Team

Google Cloud Deploy now offers canary deployment and parallel deployment for Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Run, and Anthos. Canary deployment is a deployment strategy that safely introduces a new application release alongside the current release, using percentage-based traffic splitting and validation testing.

Parallel deployment allows deploying to multiple targets simultaneously, treating them as a single deployment that can be rolled back together if necessary.

Both canary and parallel deployment come with observability and control, allowing individual child rollouts to be inspected, repaired, or canceled if issues arise.

This anonymous post, shared by "Imashadowphantom" on Medium states that MariaDB, the commercial entity that operates on top of the open source database platform, is in dire financial straits.

This is a summary of what the user states:

Its leadership has been embroiled in allegations of racism, sexism, and abuse, as well as violations of labor laws in the US and internationally.

Lawsuits are piling up, and the company is struggling to pay its bills and make payroll. To make matters worse, the company's relationship with its founder, Monty Widenius, has soured, and he was voted off the board in 2022.

The company went public via a SPAC merger but lost its funding when investors withdrew their money. MariaDB is now at risk of closure, and its few remaining executives and board members are taking measures to protect themselves, including hiring law firms and purchasing insurance.

The author also advises employees to look for jobs elsewhere.

AWS has announced the availability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Inf2 instances, which deliver high performance for generative AI models at a low cost.

Inf2 instances are powered by AWS Inferentia2 chips and offer up to four times higher throughput and up to 10 times lower latency than first-generation EC2 Inf1 instances. The new instances also introduce scale-out distributed inference supported by NeuronLink, a high-speed, nonblocking interconnect. Inf2 instances offer up to 2.3 petaflops of DL performance and up to 384 GB of total accelerator memory.

These instances are available in four sizes and can be used with popular machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow.

The biggest mistake Kubernetes admins make with health probes isconfiguring the probes the same way for all apps.

The article provides six best practices for configuring liveness and readiness probes based on the app's startup time, response time, criticality, and issues. Additionally, the article suggests checking the entire application to determine its real state rather than setting up a high-level HTTP check.

This article discusses essential Microservice design principles and patterns for experienced developers. It explains the benefits of Microservice architecture over monolithic architecture, and covers concepts such as scalability, flexibility, resiliency, and event sourcing.

The article also discusses ten main design patterns including BFF, API Gateway, Saga, and CQRS. Finally, it provides examples of how to handle partial failures and why an API Gateway is necessary for large applications with multiple client apps.

The Amazon Leadership Principles (LPs) can be weaponized or applied in a degenerate, simplistic way.

However, as imperfectly used, they provide a consistent internal language for the company. The Frugality LP is a common example of degenerate application, where saving money is prioritized over value.

When faced with oversimplification or laziness in applying a principle, it's best to encourage a more thorough, nuanced interpretation through exploring new possibilities or asking "what would need to be true...?"

All guidelines and principles are only useful if thoughtfully applied to specific circumstances.

MTTR (Mean Time To Recover) is a useful operational metric to track, but it doesn't always tell the whole story. It's only an average and doesn't take into account the total amount of downtime.

Lowering MTTR may be a good strategy in certain situations, but it's not always the right strategy. The goal should be to minimize downtime and noise, not just MTTR. It's important to consider the whole picture and not be misled by intuition when making decisions.

A discussion on the difference between "network incidents" and "security incidents" led to a realization that categorizing incidents may not be effective for complex situations like major incidents, such as ransomware.

Ransomware impacts multiple aspects of infrastructure and requires a significant, challenging response from multiple stakeholders.

Causal analysis is complex and requires attention to various aspects such as system architecture, email security, user training, etc.

Complex systems fail in complex ways, and categorization can become meaningless or adversely impact an organization's flexibility and capability to respond.
