I'll admit, 130+ postings in and a few years it is more challenging to remember what I've posted about, and really when I last talked about it. I am pretty good on the short term scale -- I can remember and I do look up what I've done in the last …
read moreNew aws ipv4 charges
So, the awaited AWS IPv4 charges are almost upon us, and I'm none oo happy, While I appreciate that IPs are scarce and cost some money to have, the ongoing monthly charge is going to hurt small and more cost aware customers the most.

read moreA livestream or two
Yay - a bit of success - I ran a couple of streams. Although the content isn't great, the streamswere more about getting tbe tech bits working, and that happened. Next on tap is a recording, so I can check that workflow and all of the software and knowledge bits around that …
read moreSome snags in the process

Ok, so I'm finally getting around to building a Kubernetes lab locally. This is a real one, not a bunch of VMs on a few random machines, but purpose built Raspberry Pi boxes to do this.
There are a number of ways to do this, and I might do this …
read moreSecurity is a process
So, I've been reading, reviewing and skimming a lot of Kubernetes and just general security articles and howtos, and I'm amazed at the takes. They seem to all be of the opinion that software should be in "good security" mode by default.

read moreRevisiting k8s more seriously
After piddling with Kubernetes for a long time, I've started to be more serious about it lately. I've read a few K8s books, then skimmed them and played with bits and parts. But now I'm ready for more.
