Ingress routing traffic to registry:2 image with a PersistentVolumeClaim. A job which gets the Ingress IP address, sets the ingress hostname, and sends the hostname to a DaemonSet which establishes registry trust on the machine

Kubernetes Self-Hosted Registry

An OCI registry feels like it really should be part of the core out-of-the-box Kubernetes offering. I suspect the main reason it’s not is that none of the vendors supporting Kubernetes really have a lot of incentive to make this part easier to handle for new developers, and all have their own registry solution they’d prefer to sell.

Back Online!

A combination of busy work / home schedule and compounding errors in my home setup took this down for nearly two months. At the end of it all, the failure was multi-faceted, not even counting my own lack of time failures: Linux distro failures I still haven’t diagnosed why, but it appears that about 3-4…

1, 7, 30, 365 Days: A Framework

I’ve talked to various folks developing this idea, but I haven’t written it down until now. A Framework for Product Engagement In the developer experience arena, I hear lots of people talking about “day 1” and “day 2 operations”. Day 1 is meant to mean the initial green-field development experience before the application goes into…

It’s back!

This blog is a bit of an experiment in running WordPress on Knative on Kubernetes in my own home. As some people may have noticed, the blog has been more down than up recently, despite the theoretically sounds underpinnings. If you’re curious, here’s a brief explanation as a way of easing myself back into the…

Happy 1.0, Knative!

Reflections on the last four years of Knative.

Cover slide: Function to Container - Building a FaaS Experience

It’s been a busy few weeks…

I got back home from Kubecon on October 15, and dived into a bit of a maelstrom. I’m finally coming up for air. 🎉 First; I gave my Kubecon talk, and even PRed all the changes I had to do to get the demo to work back to various upstream repos. If you’re looking to…

New Hardware, Who Dis?

After my last benchmarking post, I alluded to making some hardware upgrades. I completely shut down one of the older Dx0q nodes, but this still left me with one slower node and two quicker Wyse 5070 nodes. So I started watching eBay for models recommended on the ServeTheHome TinyMiniMicro and thin client forum threads, and…

Productionizing Home Kubernetes

Since I cleaned up the physical rack layout (picture soon!), one thing that’s been bothering me about my home Kubernetes cluster has been the ad-hoc and snowflake nature of the cluster itself. Generally, I’ve been installing/upgrading things with kubectl apply (or occasionally helm install). This is great for experimentation, but is is pretty lousy for…

Getting Ready for Travel

I’m headed to Kubecon NA next week, so I thought I might jot down a bit about the technology I tend to pack in my travel bag, since I’ve been optimizing it over the last few years. I haven’t travelled by plane for 18 months, but prior to COVID I was often travelling to the…

Justifying Hardware Upgrades with Benchmarking

In which Evan attempts to figure out just how slow his hardware is, and discovers an unexpected factor of two in performance.
