Any tips, tricks, or resources for getting started using Fargate for one-off or recurring jobs? I have terraform setup and managing AWS resources, but every time I look into Fargate it seems like guides point towards running webapps instead of diverse jobs.
I had a quick look at something I've got (not written by me) and it looks like you create an EventBridge rule with a schedule expression and create an EventBridge target (which can include an ECS task: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/events/put-...).
You can use the aws_appautoscaling_scheduled_action terraform resource to create a scheduled scaling policy action to mimic a scheduled Fargate container fire-up, e.g. from zero Fargate container instances to one or however many are required, and then back down to zero.
I would look into AWS Batch - it works pretty well for running diverse jobs. I have a few jobs that are triggered by S3 uploads that run for 1-30 minutes, and other jobs that run for ~hours. All on Fargate
Like with IoT devices, this seems to be a place where there is a massive lack of care or understanding in how to build a secure product. The repercussions of which, however, are potentially much more severe. Perhaps this will get the ball rolling on some much needed regulations for the security of internet-connected products (especially cars).
Hey thanks for the feedback. We may do some more around this. What kinds of things do you want to know?
To get hands on, you can run my Firecracker lab that I shared in the blog post, then add a runner can be done with "arkade system install actions-runner"
Not the poster you were replying to, but I've looked at your firecracker init lab (cool stuff!) and just wondering how that fits together with a control plane. Would be cool to see how the orchestration happens in terms of messaging between host/guest and how I/O is provisioned on the host dynamically.
Is there a way to subscribe to these technical notes postings? I (and I assume others) would be quite interested in being alerted when a new one is posted!
I think the best method would be to follow us (@rsyncnet) on twitter - the publication of these tech notes is one of the very few things we post on that platform ...
Another native speaker chiming in. This is my first time encountering f.x. and it took me quite a while to figure out (essentially guess) what it meant. Most people I know and situations I've encountered use e.g. (possibly without even knowing what it means). In common usage e.g. is "for example" just like etc. means "and additional things" or i.e. means "that is".
I've been using jmp.chat and have been pretty happy with them. But I haven't tried using them as 2fa provider, they may be blocked by places that block common voip providers.
HP ProDesk 405 G8 Mini, or HP EliteDesk 805 G8 Mini.
The ProDesk 405 G8 can take a 35W RYZEN 7 PRO 5750GE. This includes AMD DASH (IPMI), and the Ryzen Pro has a few extra security features from EPYC/Threadripper. I got mine shipped for just $665 including tax, and did the SSD (1TB 980 Pro) and memory (64GB DDR4-3200 CL16) myself for another $300ish.
If you get three of them, you can have a pretty fantastic Spark cluster that consumes only about 100-120W! But yes, they do XCP-NG or Proxmox clusters extremely well.
The EliteDesk 805 G8 can have the 65W Ryzen 7 PRO 5750G, has a copper heatsink (instead of aluminum), has a 2nd NVMe slot, and can be shipped with a 2.5GbE port (you can order the part for the ProDesk 405 G8). Though if you get the 35W 5750GE, you can have an NVIDIA GeForce 1660Ti 6GB installed as well.
Since both use Ryzen PRO processors, they actually support ECC memory as well. I'd argue they may be the best overall 1L form factor systems on the market, especially in terms of performance per watt. The only other thing I'd ever want is 10GbE instead of 2.5GbE -- though in the EliteDesk 805, you COULD get an NVMe to 10GbE Ethernet and install it, just need to make a faceplate to properly mount the port on the back of the chassis.
Did you get it yet? Multiple reports of 1-month-plus shipping delay notifications after the order is placed. I ordered one of these myself and canceled after the delay. Still plan on ordering one albeit with a different config.
Originally I opted for the 5700GE (apparently slightly faster than the 5750GE) thinking I wanted the most power possible in the box. But my new thinking is I really want a 5300GE to pull out and put in an AM4-based silent HTPC for the living room, then upgrade the HP with a separately purchased 5700GE. QuietPC seems the only vendor selling these "GE" 35W models -- but not any 53X0GE parts. In other words buying one of these non-vendor-locked HP minis and ripping them out might be the only way on Earth right now to get one's grubby hands on any 53X0GE.
Also, are you sure there are two M.2 slots on the EliteDesk G8's? I know they are on the G6 but haven't found confirmation the G8's continue the tradition.
Look at the TMM series at servethehome.com. They go over vendors, models, specs of the 1L segment as well as the new/used market for them.
It's generally a really good form factor for a small server. The only things most people sometimes wish they had in them is 2.5-10GBE instead of the stock 1GB, and formal ECC support.
You can register a .no domain through a broker similar to how whois privacy at most registrars works: the broker is the registrant but then affords you full control of the domain.
That sounds like a bad idea. If your site is successful the broker could jack up the price to let you keep control. Better to stick to registering domains directly through a normal registrar. And if you are not in a position to create a Norwegian enkeltpersonsforetak or aksjeselskap, then why bother with a .no domain?
