That makes me think they have multiple services of variable workload packed onto a single host, eg web server, async, and DB all on a single host via Docker.
That’s the antithesis of EB, which can only do horizontal scaling. Docker provides a way to replicate those multiple services in a deployment configuration when you want to set up a host image.
Not using Docker as an easy way to pack it all onto a single box as long as they can is just wasted expense.
Running a cluster across your IOT fleet (1k+ devices; 5-10 apps each) gives a nice interface for pushing out tasks, choosing applications for a device, configuring supervisor-device relationships, etc. It turns out from scratch Docker containers on ARM are very portable.
I think you’re being dramatic — embedded is notorious for crazy builds of weird config flags to even get “hello world” to compile, and you’re waving your arms pretending that concepts from Erlang abstracted away from the language are too much.
Docker is just cgroups and namespaces, with a zip file of code. More or less literally.
Orchestration is the same mess it’s always been — back to at least the telephone days, when Erlang used the same concepts.
Docker make it easy to run the same version of code in different places and let’s things run next to each other without version conflicts.
Also, I think you’re in a very small minority not to care about $720/yr increases in your hobbies.
Younger workers have less to lose, so tend to leave more — but they’re also less experienced and tend to have lower expectations for the workplace.
Older workers are less likely to leave because it’s disruptive, but they’re also more experienced at the political side of life — and tend to insist on things like reasonable hours, professional management, etc.
My personal stance is that trying to exploit your workers is a losing game — but from the employers who act that way...
There’s some who prefer the lower expectations (eg, Amazon) and some who prefer the more stable crew (eg, ATT).
Yes.
“Antiracist” doesn’t mean “not racist”; it’s a Marxist ideology focusing on racial identities and purposeful systemic racism to “balance” the power between racial tribes.
It’s extremely racist.
Anti-Asian racism will become normalized as long as “antiracism” is part of the Democratic agenda. They’re literally fighting to overturn civil rights laws in CA and WA so the government can discriminate based on race again.
