It was a serious ask to install it from auditors that don’t know what the fuck they are doing. On all ec2 machines for “reasons” I’m sure there are companies out there pushed into doing this because they don’t have people willing to die on those hills.

Probably would have been worse if this was on Linux. That’s like 90% of the internet.

Pi4 tend to stick around 5w

He’ll claim he invented it

Both are noobs. Its Linux, they’re all files!

Sure, legacy exists but as a systems principal engineer I would always look to improve the platform. Puppet/chef/ansible all the problems those solved are kind of moot with a kubernetes ecosystem. The only thing they might be useful for would be installing the software to get those nodes added and maybe security updates in you’re running 1k+ of bare metal. And something that could all be solved with something light like dancers shell. At home I’ve even just moved to k3 since the containerize is just so much more consistent. Ansible not maintaining state is also a massive headache.

Isn’t all of these tools dying with k8s? Like the entire concept of installing a playform for your service is moot at this point. Plus there’s like a million other benifits over bare metal configs.

Low power too. I replaced a x86 server with 3 PIs in a k8s setup for about half the wattage.
