The Full Stack: Tech, Life, and whatever else I muse about.
This is a pretty confusing title but the gist of it is this: We have a service, let’s suppose its a database, running internally. We can get to it from our Kubernetes cluster, but resources outside of Kubernetes can’t get to it. And the only way we can get to Kubernetes services is through a…
In our EKS Kubernetes cluster we want multiple AWS users to be able to use the kubectl command to examine resources and for now, they can even have admin access to a few select groups. The way I’ve always done this in the past is I create new stanza in the aws-auth configMap in the…
Prometheus is confusing. It’s such a great project and there is all kinds of information out there, but it’s taken me a bit of legwork to understand it. The first issue is: How are you going to install it? Since I’m running this on Kubernetes it makes sense to use whatever most people are doing….
Note: Video for this Blog Post is Here. When dealing with cloud resources the two opposing needs are security and accessibility. When we often deploy resources in a private network inside of an AWS VPC that are not accessible directly from the outside. To access these resources, we can use a bastion server or VPN….
Lens is a really cool front end dashboard for Kubernetes clusters. One issue I ran into from connecting to the cluster was that I typically use different AWS Profiles for different clusters. Typically I’ll do something like: To set my user. To put this in Lens so that it can connect, we just add this…
I have an application that runs in a container. The application is pretty simple in that all it does is list the contents of a DynamoDB database I created. The code is here, as well as all the YAML files for deploying to EKS. The problem is, when we pull this up on a standard…
These last few weeks I’ve been diving into Apple’s RealityKit for iPhone. I’ve chosen to use SwiftUI instead of UIKit as I like the similarities between it and ReactJS. I thought I’d start posting a few things I learn as I find Apple’s documentation is great if you already know what you’re doing. Unfortunately, if…
I’ve done many coding projects in my career but until this year I’ve never created a project that actually earns money. I have always had big aspirations to do this, and I’ve always talked about it, but until September of this year I had never done it. Well, I’ve done it! Humbly, but I’m still…
Suppose you have an array of objects in javascript: In the above contrived example 2 of the 3 objects have the same id value of a. We’d like to filter this array so that the result is: Javascript doesn’t have a built in unique function like other languages do. But we can use the filter…
I spent a good portion of the work day today trying to code up a simple form to accept a list of zip codes and put them in an array. The final form looks as follows: As you can see there are a few zip codes and then we can click the ‘Add Zip Code’…
