  • Are you running coredns in your cluster? This sounds like a Corefile change but maybe it’s just missing a service?

    Pods won’t have any entries in DNS aside from the pod IP addresses you’ve found. A Service will be in DNS and should have several entries depending on the namespace you’re calling from, eg:

    service-a
    service-a.namespace
    service-a.namespace.svc.cluster.local
    

    I’m on mobile so haven’t looked above to see if you’ve created a service for the pod. A service will have endpoints which are the pod ips and ports (and you can ignore endpoint slices for now)

    Edit: I see coredns in there now. I’d check Corefile or the kubelet configs, seems like it can contact DNS because you’re getting an NXDOMAIN response at least.




  • Not surprising. There’s a part of the Shopify careers site that has a letter you have to acknowledge that says (paraphrased): Care more about the ability to sell than what people sell, and if feel you might disagree with what people sell then this isn’t the workplace for you. They really drill that point home on the site and in interviews, not surprising their stance is ‘no comment’.

    (I didn’t get the job)






  • It’s a shortcut for experience, but you lose a lot of the tools you get with experience. If I were early in my career I’d be very hesitant relying on it as its a fragile ecosystem right now that might disappear, in the same way that you want to avoid tying your skills to a single companies product. In my workflow it slows me down because the answers I get are often average or wrong, it’s never “I’d never thought of doing it that way!” levels of amazing.




  • I’m a lefty but my teachers never knew how to handle a lefty so my handwriting is also illegible. I had to go do handwriting basics (“colour in the enclosed area of the A shape”) in high school.

    So mileage may vary even if leftyism is tolerated. But look at me now teachers! I type obscure commands all day and get a sore hand when I pick up a pen! Checkmate!





  • No yaml, no helm, no operators? Using Pulumi as a layer of abstraction but not using ingress because its a layer of abstraction?

    I don’t know the equivalent in GCP, but in AWS this would be treating EKS like ECS. Missing out on 90% of the benefits of kubernetes by ignoring that 90%.

    But also, small company. Kubernetes is a better base to start from and expand from there.
