devops 02 Using sidecar containers in k8s Pods are the basic unit of deployment in k8s and in a typical k8s setup, your application container is probably running inside a pod. Pods themselves are containers, and you can run multiple containers sharing the same volume and network interfaces of the pod concurrently. This is called the sidecar pattern. We run an emr django application connected to a RDS postgres database using RDS IAM auth. To make this work, we run a cronjob which generates a token every 10 minutes which is used by the a 2022.01.22 · 3 min

devops 04 Moving from AWS Loadbalancers to Nginx We run a k8s cluster for our healthcare EMR application. At the time, we only had one public facing service, so we used a Kubernetes Service of Type LoadBalancer. resource "kubernetes_service" "django" { metadata { name = "django" namespace = kubernetes_namespace.app_namespace.metadata[0].name annotations = tomap( { "service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-cert" = var.django_acm_arn, "service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-ssl-por 2021.12.18 · 2 min
