Announcing Karpenter 1.0 | Amazon Web Services

Introduction In November 2021, AWS announced the launch of v0.5 of Karpenter, “a new open source Kubernetes cluster auto scaling project.” Originally conceived as a flexible, dynamic, and high-performance alternative to the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler,…

We have made the VictoriaLogs stack for storing logs and the main goal will be to collect logs from k8s.

At the moment the product is ready and shows itself very well (does not require resources, compresses data very  well)
https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/

Among the features - supports many protocols for data insertion (including native syslog, promtail (and all variations of this name), elasticsearch, examples of how to write through standard log shippers).

VictoriaLogs has visualisation in Grafana and its own UI + query langues, which allows you to basically do whatever you want with logs (filtering analytics slide/dice).

We plan to release the cluster and officially announce that everything is ready on Kubecon NA this fall.

The Roadmap: https://docs.victoriametrics.com/victorialogs/roadmap/

As for important things: cluster support for s3, alerting and operator (now only helm chart is available).
We'll be glad to get feedback at our telegram community @VictoriaMetrics_en or at https://slack.victoriametrics.com

The code is here - https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/tree/master/app/victoria-logs (monorepo for VictoriaMetrics and VictoriaLogs)

The Story of Reformatting 100k Files at Google in 2012 is a short story of rolling a massive change at Google.

Basically, they have enforced formatting rules for all the BUILD files for Bazel.

What I like in this story is how this change ended up being uneventful. Which confirms a point: if formatter is integrated into your workflow, you don't care about formatting, you don't even think about it much.

And this is one of the reasons I like Go so much: it has a formatter integrated into the language itself. Same thing with Terraform.

A bit of Ukrainian tech community building.

Recently, our friend from UkrOps Digest asked his subscribers if they have any Telegram/YouTube channels, blogs, or other communities where they share their technical expertise.

Needless to say that there are quite a few responses to that post. I'm sure you'll be able to find something to your taste there as well!

Also, if you have a channel or a blog, make sure to leave a comment there as well. Or even better - make a pull request to the Awesome List of Ukrainian IT Communities!

Another book bundle for y’all!

This time it specifically focuses on DevOps.

One of the books there - “How Linux Works” was a book I used to learn Linux back in a day. I have been always recommending it and I cannot recommend it more.

So yeah, that’s a good bundle. I would buy it just for that one book. However, there are some other great books as well.

Humble Bundle

Humble Tech Book Bundle: Networking, Sysadmin, and DevOps by No Starch

IT pros, this book bundle will get you up to speed with DevOps, teach you Linux tips and tricks, and demystify containerization. Your purchase helps charity!

​​This channel was created exactly 7 years ago. So yeah, today is CatOps' bithday!

Fun fact: this channel had a different name when it was created, but was renamed to CatOps shortly after.

Another fact: y'all know that I usually post donation requests on Mondays, but again, we kinda have a special occasion today. There's a long-standing tradition to give presents on one's birthday. You can give CatOps a little birthday present by donating for FPV drones for Territorial Defense of Mykolaiv.

Each 20k UAH is a single drone, so let's see how many we can get! You can donate via this Monobank jar:

We are all aware of questions like: "What happens when you type google.com in a browser?" or "What happens when you do kubectl apply?", but do you know What Happens on GitLab When You do git push?

Some time ago, I predicted that there is going to be more Kubernetes distributions. Then it didn’t happen, so I thought I was wrong.

Yet, now Canonical has introduced their Kubernetes distribution.

It’s based on the upstream Kubernetes 1.30, has some built-in add-ons, and yes, you can install it with snap.
