   The best cloud platform out there

   You could say a lot of things about AWS, but among the cloud platforms (and I've used quite a few) AWS takes the cake. It is logically structured, you can get through its documentation relatively easily, you have a great variety of tools and services to choose from [from AWS itself and from third-party developers in their marketplace]. There is a learning curve, there is quite a lot of it, but it is still way easier than some other platforms. I've used and abused AWS and EC2 specifically and for me it is the best.

   👍 Pros:    Great documentation|Website structure visualization|You have control over everything|Flexibility

   👎 Cons:    Learning curve|A lot of dashboards for different things

• Optimizing Costs in DevOps: Migrating a Kubernetes App from Amazon to Digital Ocean

  AWS, as one of the leading cloud service providers, offered us a comprehensive suite of services such as AWS EKS, AWS RDS, and others, as well as a wide range of managed services, including databases, storage solutions, and machine learning capabilities, providing us with the flexibility and agility to host our complex platform. - Source: dev.to / 7 days ago

• A Brief History Of Serverless

  In 2006, Amazon launched EC2 and S3 which was the foundation of the first major cloud platform, AWS. Amazon decided to essentially provide their users with storage and virtual machines to operate.

• Tracetest in Action: Running Trace-Based Tests on the OpenTelemetry Demo App with Nomad

  In this section, we’ll be provisioning a local Hashi environment (including Nomad, Consul, and Vault) instance using HashiQube. Then, we’ll install Tracetest and the OTel Demo App on Nomad. Feel free to skip this section if you already have a working Hashi environment with Nomad, Consul, and Vault. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• How to Convert Kubernetes Manifests into Nomad Jobspecs

  Ever since I started exploring Nomad, one of the things that I’ve enjoyed doing is taking Docker Compose files and Kubernetes manifests, and translating them into HashiCorp Nomad jobspec. I did it for Temporal back in March 2022, and also for an early version of Tracetest, back in the summer of 2022. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Running the OpenTelemetry Demo App on HashiCorp Nomad

  Before you start, just a friendly reminder that HashiQube by default runs Nomad, Vault, and Consul on Docker. In addition, we’ll be deploying 21 job specs to Nomad. This means that we’ll need a decent amount of CPU and RAM, so Please make sure that you have enough resources allocated in your Docker desktop. For reference, I’m running an M1 Macbook Pro with 8 cores and 32 GB RAM. My Docker Desktop Resource... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Pi hole for less than 30$

  Eventually I'll probably get Consul.io and nomadproject.io loaded up across the estate again to make provisioning easier (Nomad can run a set of containers on every host by default, so each physical node automatically gets Traefik and Vector for example), but for now this will do me nicely!

• Centralised web GUI for task scheduling?

  Hashicorp Nomad: https://nomadproject.io/ (best paired with Consul). Source: about 2 years ago
