Hacker News with Generative AI: DevOps

The Problem with Modern Engineering Isn't Speed. It's Chaos (earthly.dev)
Last year, our team spent a lot of time interviewing fellow Platform, DevOps, DevEx, CI/CD, and SRE engineers, as well as engineering leaders, in order to better understand their day-to-day challenges.

EKS Auto Mode: Simplify Kubernetes Operations (spacelift.io)
Kubernetes has revolutionized container orchestration, but managing production-grade clusters can be complex and time-consuming. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that simplifies running containerized applications on AWS. It eliminates the need for users to operate their own Kubernetes control plane.

Our Best Customers Are Now Robots (fly.io)
We’re Fly.io, a developer-focused public cloud. We turn Docker containers into hardware-isolated virtual machines running on our own metal around the world. We spent years coming up with a developer experience we were proud of. But now the robots are taking over, and they don’t care.

Stop Treating YAML Like a String (theyamlengineer.com)
Koreo is a data structure orchestration engine. Although it's primarily designed for Kubernetes resource orchestration, Koreo's core functionality can orchestrate and manage virtually any structured data. What Koreo provides today, however, is a new approach to Kubernetes configuration management empowering developers and platform teams through programmable workflows. This approach draws upon the strengths of existing tools like Helm, Kustomize, and Crossplane while addressing some of their limitations.

Disk I/O bottlenecks in GitHub Actions (depot.dev)
When your CI pipelines are slow, you can only optimize so much. Bottlenecks in CPU, Network, Memory, and Disk I/O can all contribute to slow CI pipelines. Let's take a look at how disk I/O can be a bottleneck in GitHub Actions.

Dagger: A shell for the container age (dagger.io)
The Unix shell is over 50 years old, but it still defines how programmers use their computers. We type a few words in a terminal, and milliseconds later an ephemeral factory comes online: the Unix pipeline. Data streams through a network of simple programs working concurrently, like robots on the factory floor, executing a computational choreography we composed seconds ago. Its job done, the factory vanishes. Onto the next command. That loop built the internet, and still runs it today.

Building a Firecracker-Powered Course Platform to Learn Docker and Kubernetes (iximiuz.com)
This is a long overdue post on iximiuz Labs' internal kitchen. It'll cover why I decided to build my own learning-by-doing platform for DevOps, SRE, and Platform engineers, how I designed it, what technology stack chose, and how various components of the platform were implemented.

Build a Container Image from Scratch (danishpraka.sh)
For a developer, a Container image is essentially a collection of configurations required to run a container. But what really is a container image? You might know what a container image is, how it is made up of layers and that it’s a collection of tar archives. There are questions that still went unanswered, questions such as what makes up a layer, how are layers combined to form a complete filesystem or multi-platform images, etc.

Pin Your GitHub Actions (michaelheap.com)
Way back in 2019, Julien Renaux published Use GitHub Actions at your own risk. While the title is a little sensational, it correctly pointed out that any maintainer can update a branch or tag to point at new code without you knowing. This means that if any action is compromised, you'll start leaking secrets without knowing it.
