Where I've worked and we've been in the cloud I've always promoted just running in one AZ, I run my own things in one Hetzner DC (hel1). I've done hybrid cloud as well and in that case we only have one AZ for the on-premise stuff anyways (plus offsite backup)

That one time when an AZ goes down and your infra successfully fails over to the other two isn't worth it for a lot of my scale companies, ops consultants seem to be chasing high cloud spend to justify their own high cost. I also factor in that I live in Sweden where most infrastructure outages are exceptionally rare.

Ofc it depends on what kind of company you are and what you're providing.

Kustomize can render Helm charts. It's "very basic" as in Kustomize will call the Helm binary to render the template, ingest it and apply patches.

I wrote a tool called "easykubenix" that works in a similar way, render the chart in a derivation, convert the YAML to JSON, import JSON into the Nix module structure and now you're free to override, remove or add anything you want :)

It's still very CLI deploy centric using kluctl as the deployment engine, but there's nothing preventing dumping the generated JSON (or YAML) manifests into a GitOps loop.

It doesn't make the public charts you consume any less horrible, but you don't have to care as much about them at least

Both Jsonnet and CUE are implemented in Go which happens to be the language Helm is written in. While I agree that it reduces "general embedability" it's ripe fruit for Helm to integrate either or both of these as alternatives to YAML templating.

"the rare European company that is better than its American rival" this is a shitpost

It’d be fair to say it’s one of the few government-sponsored multinational companies that thrived. There was a time European governments pushed for strategic mergers to better compete against American companies.

I stopped reading the article after this sentence. Now I am scanning the comments.

Absolutely everything in the modern economy stops him from forming a competing company, this naive stupid market is the solution idea needs to stop being regurgitated, it's toxic to society.

I think most everything shows that it's just really hard (see Intel) and they're really good at it, so have a moat that they can take advantage of.

The fancy Mellanox NVIDIA Connect-X cards have kTLS support which offloads encryption to the NIC, Netflix has blogged about how they use it to send 100 Gbps encrypted traffic of a single box (Their OpenConnect infrastructure is really cool).

Old is new again :)

Aaaaah it's not ready to go on HN yet! But thanks for posting :)

It's not impossible that they have directional antennas pointed at different towers nearby-ish, if you do directional antennas the triangulation thing kinda fails.

Just speculation though, it's more likely they just paid the right people off.

No, the denser the area the more radio towers there are making precision better.

Maybe edit and clarify your misinformation that Europeans hate the police? We don't.

The trust levels in Police is much lower in larger countries. In Germany it’s %50 and %35. NL is not the rule, it’s the exception.

But sure, hating the police is an exaggeration. Still, I think it’s obvious that its for illustrative purposes and not a declaration. Just like everybody never means every single person no exceptions when talking about general situations. It’s like when you say “everyone knows that the flat earth theory is BS”. Yes it’s not everybody and your mileage may vary depending on the location.
