Your stateful pod sits in a 'Terminating' state, blocked by the same system that you chose to keep it alive.

I would argue that “being teachable" is even a more precious skill than being able to give great feedback: we can spend our whole life without giving any feedback, but for sure we can't avoid receiving it.

It doesn’t matter if the number of pods is changed manually in a Deployment or through a horizontal pod autoscaler (HPA): Kubernetes (K8s) must pick which pods to delete, and it doesn’t choose randomly.

It’s almost 10 years since I wrote my first blog post on this domain.

In Google, we have an internal document, quite often quoted, that says to let things fail if the workload to keep them alive is too high.

Helm is a remarkable piece of technology to manage your Kubernetes deployments, and used with Terraform is perfect for deploying following the GitOps strategy.

But being in its first days (the beta has just been released!)

Qodana on Gitlab Pages In this blog post we will see how to integrate this new tool by JetBrains in our GitLab pipeline, including having a dedicated website to see the cool report it produces.

The AWS Console is an amazing piece of software: it has hundreds of thousands of features, it is reliable, and it is the front end of an incredible world.

The AWS IAM console helps to highlight which keys are old, but if you have dozens of users, or multiple AWS accounts, it is still boring doing it manually.

Last year, totally by chance, I found a security issue over Facebook - I reported it, and it was fixed quite fast.

If you already have Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery enabled for your websites, adding this feature is blazing fast, and will make life of your reviewers easier!

Updated on January 4th, 2023: removed references to SQS, that is not actually used in the proposed implementation.

This issue was firstly reported on HackerOne and was managed on the Gitlab issues’ tracker.

I travel often, and be able to work on issues and pipelines on the go is something essential for me.

On the pratical side, how we will see, disclose of private data is often a unwanted side effect of an useful feature.
