The agony of NFS: the knife twists a bit more
Recently Google announced Filestore. I was all set to rejoice, after my heartbreaks of recent days. After all, it seemed like NFS might have been the answer for me, but I would have to have it run outside of Kubernetes. So it was with great joy I signed up for the beta program, and even…
Kubernetes and private registries and names: your registry credentials everywhere

There’s different ways to expand: scale out (add more of the same) and scale up (make the same things bigger). Normally in cloud you are focused on scale-out, but, well, you need big enough pieces to…

OK, our pipelines use ‘Docker in Docker’ as a means of constructing a docker image while inside a ‘stage’ that is itself a docker image. Why? I don’t want to expose the…

Its still NFS. The issue is still open, no umount leaves dangling nfs mounts on the host. But, progress. Assuming I can work…
