Funny thing about work. It is usually something people dont want to do and this is why its incentivized with money.

I have had experiences where you do video interviews. When interviewing the audio is off and what is happening is the person answering is on speaker phone and the guy you are looking at is pretending to talk.

The simplest way to discover is ask the color of your shirt.

Before you even get to the CNI, I think AWS VM to internet is at least 3 NAT layers.

So we have 3 layers from container to pod. The virtual host kernel is tracking those layers. Once connection to one container is 3 tracked connections. Then you have whatever else you put on top to go in and out of the internet.

The funny think to me is HaProxy recommended getting rid of connection tracking for performance while everyone is doubling down on that alone and calling it performant.

Are you talking about the cloud host to cloud host networking or the POD networking inside the single host ?

The dizzying amount of NAT layers has to be killing performance. I haven't had the chance to ever sit down and unravel a system running a good load. The lack of TCP tuning combined with the required connection tracking is interesting to think about

I would love to see the monitoring on this.

Network IOPs and NAT nastiness or disk IO the bigger issue ?

Well, lets look at society.

We have the rich who use the govt to oppress the people and preserve their wealth.

We have the poor who think the govt will help them

We have a large group of people who just want to work to survive

What rules would you put in place and how would you go about doing that to ensure the rich / powerful didnt corrupt the system ?

The US was designed with a constitution defining the rules a govt could work within and the bill of rights was added to ensure the govt didnt enroach on the peoples rights so they could control the govt

This design failed as did all the rest... why ?

Because people are inherently lazy and dont want to be bothered. So you think its better to simply feed these folks and ensure they are ok will somehow motivate them to work ?

Capitalism works better than most systems and in fact many of the so called socialist countries arent. They are capitalist countries that have strong social programs funded by said capitalism

Perhaps instead of letting the govt get away with violating the rules it was bound by we start enforcing the rules ?

What is moral about teaching people they dont need to work to survive ?

Sort of curious, What lifestyle are people entitled to ?

What effort are they responsible for putting forth to better their life ?

Who is responsible for ensuring they have a good life ?

>And yes I've seen the diagrams and the theory behind this. But I've become more and more suspicious of bureaucracy and process that tries to fight the symptoms of lack of trust and human connection.

This resonates but what I have seen is when you engage a company that has this model you have to emulate their model to fit within their needs, then you get infected with it.

Problem you have not growing in CA and AZ is the fact you have very long growing seasons in both states.

You can pump water over the same thing you can oil. You cant pump sunshine that way

add sysdig to your tool box

... and my skills are getting used to fix the issues that folks dont understand when these layers break

Keep building those layers... thats job security

An abstract layer to automate the creation of k8s which is an abstract layer to automate application deployment and application management

What we need is an abstract layer to automate the systems underneath so we can leverage that abstraction and create more complexity

There are still some folks who understand the abstraction all the way up and down. We cant have that

>Because people have the memoized knowledge that "static linking old and bad",

It feels to me that the container mentality wants to abstract the complexity of the computing to the point they are creating issues that were solved before then layering that on a complex OS and pretending the OS isnt required |

At some point software has to sit on hardware...
