Google Cloud Container Builder was announced last month and I have
been using it ever since. It has a few features that I really love that have gone
unhighlighted. I wrote a testimony on Hacker News when it came out, so I am
going to elaborate on that here.
This year Google Cloud Next 2017 was a constant source of amusement for
me. I just wanted to reflect on several talks I watched that you
might find interesting if you are into DevOps and SRE topics.
I am very happy to announce that I have joined Google a month ago. I am working
on the Kubernetes open source project in the Google Cloud Platform
Developer Relations team.
Last month, I have decided to seek opportunities outside Microsoft after 4 years and left
my job at the Azure Linux team. It was my first job after college.
I have some exciting news about go-linq, my first Go project ever: We have
two new and excited maintainers.
I recently wrote a log collector that uses Docker’s Container Logs API
to subscribe output streams of containers. Most people don’t collect logs from
containers this way, because they can use well known logging drivers that
Docker supports, so it’s hard to find programs out there consuming this
logs API.
Last month, Azure Container Registry has gone to public preview. Finally
you can start uploading your container images to Azure! This fills an important
gap in the containerized application lifecycle in the Azure ecosystem. It is
also the first production service I participated in building and delivering at
Microsoft.
If you ever found yourself writing a piece of code doing a HTTP POST request and
then trying to test it with a real HTTP server, you might have heard of
httpbin.org.
Go language is getting increasingly popular when it comes to writing
microservices and commmand-line tools. It easily lets you compile a complicated
application into a single binary, it can cross-compile from any OS to any other
OS the Go compiler supports.
I have been craving to write about this since this is what I have been up to
lately at work. I spent quite some time investigating the state of instance
provisioning on each cloud provider and I thought I could share these here.
