RedHat developers are the ones making Fedora. Fedora is the upstream for RHEL. You are going to see RHEL transition to bootc: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/bootc/ Get with the times, fellow gray beard: https://github.com/redhat-cop/redhat-image-mode-demo --- * What is RHEL Image Mode? RHEL Image mode is a new approach for operating system deployment that enables users to create, deploy and manage Red Hat Enter…
I know all of this already and honestly I’m just amused at how long it has taken. Forget I said anything. Enjoy working on rhel for the rest of your life.
"Enjoy working on rhel for the rest of your life."
Show me on this doll where RHEL touched you.

That is the default. Terraform fails safe by not deleting your databases on a whim, it asks for manual confirmation by default.
Unless the resource disappears unexpectedly from the config, in which case it gets deleted. That's the issue.
It doesn't just "get deleted," by default it prompts and warns the user that there is a deletion planned, and the user must manually confirm the deletion. There is no issue.

Talos Linux. Replaced a fleet of RHEL OpenShift with Talos recently. We're planning on moving the rest to Talos within 1.5 years. Basically, bare metal OS is going to be an implementation detail abstracted away from the internal users and developers.
I'm the head of product at Sidero. Thanks for sharing! We love to hear people being successful with Talos.
Not sure why you were down voted, the product you guys create is amazing.

Despite being a debian/ubuntu guy, I usually used CentOS for production deployments because it would be easy and seamless to upgrade to RHEL when I hit the big leagues. Not anymore. I just use the latest ubuntu LTS and call it a day. IBM/RedHat was soo predictably short sighted on this.
So you say "it would be easy and seamless", but did you ever actually do it and upgrade to RHEL? Because most people throw that out as a supposed sales pipeline that was lost, but the real life metrics indicate that almost never happened.
In one case, yes.

#406I joined HashiCorp in 2016 to work on Nomad and have been on the product ever since. Definitely a lot of feelings today. When I joined HashiCorp was maybe 50 people. Armon Dadgar personally onboarded us one at a time, and showed me how to use the coffee maker (remember to wash your own dishes!). There have been a lot of ups (IPO) and downs (BUSL), but the Nomad team and users have been the best I've ever gotten to wo…
I've had the incredible displeasure of having to maintain multiple massive legacy COTS systems that were once designed by promising startups and ultimately got bought by IBM. IBM turned every last one into the shittiest enterprise software trash you can imagine. Every IBM product I've ever used is universally reviled by every person I've met who also had to use it, without exaggeration in the slightest. If anything,…

Just wanted to say thanks for your work on Nomad. Amazing tool that had me rethink a lot of things about how i work with infra and software in general and is always pleasant to work with by itself.
Thanks! I think this is a really insightful comment because Nomad is more opinionated than I think we let on. The subtle interactions between signals, service discovery, health checks, templates, etc. all have a big impact on the reliability of the system as a whole. I've always wanted to do a "HashiCorp Validated Nomad App Design" kind of doc to outline these best practices, but it's always proved too big of a lift.…
As good of a time as ever. Feels like it would be a good read.
