so our "staff architect" is creating this "kubecost" service to track k8s costs. Simple webserver. the idea is that it goes outside -> IAP -> Load Balancer -> Backend k8s nodes -> ingress service -> kubecost pods. So obviously the correct solution is to write a firewall rule that opens port 80 to every one of our k8s nodes in production. e: oh god there's at least three firewall rules doing this exact thing kill me The Iron Rose fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Mar 17, 2021 |

i am a moron posted:Is all of this in GCP? yes. our nodes don't have but it's entirely unnecessary and it gives an open door to anyone who gets into our network, which is far from impossible. don't write fw rules ending in 0.0.0.0/0 in prod people!! This is what load balancers are for and you don't need anything other than the FW rule for the health check.

I’m really ignorant of GCP, is there no service you could use to suss out costs instead of rolling your own (presumably shittier) thing for it?

Yes, it's only exposed to our internal network, but  if you think bad actors won't compromise that at some point. I'm appalled that it was ever created in the first place. It turns out that someone else did the exact same thing a year ago to allow cloudfunctions to talk to k8s, instead of, idk, restricting traffic to the egress IP address or something. Said cloudfunction was long dead, and one of the engineers responsible for that, was a real dick about me being concerned about this. Which I thought was really rich considering his team was the one who didn't clean it up in the first place! ughhhh this is like the third engineer who's gotten in a dick measuring contest with me this week. gently caress off and do your job properly already! Don't freak out at me because I'm concerned about a security hole or ask you to write documentation, goddamn. E: holy poo poo this dude literally just drops into the slack channel i made for this to write a bitchy comment saying I'm wrong, is himself wrong, then immediately leaves. i'm livid.

Sounds like it's time to write a strongly worded email to him and his manager Pissing me off: I had an interview last night and there was literally 0 chemistry between me and the 5 people from the company. That was a first for me. I'm used to the locals here being extremely poor interviewers as in "I memorize RFCs for fun and those trivia questions are the only ones I'm mentally able to ask". But this time 4 Americans were joining in and the manager just described the expectations of the role very briefly before she dropped off the call. I didn't even ask any questions because I have 0 interest working with them, what mostly pissed me off is that I had to schedule this in the evening during my normal dinner time so I was starving all the way through. Not pissing me off: I have like 7 other interview processes going on right now and most of the interviewers seem to be able to hold a normal conversation instead of turning it into a pubquiz with no beer.

I don't particularly care but that type of response is new to me but also extremely hilarious so I just thought I'd share it to see if people had similar experiences Earlier in my career I did a interview with 9 people at the table. I was trying to get my first sysadmin title and all the sysadmins grogs in this interview were cliches at best. One guy was a total dick and I remember him to this day. His questions sucked, his attitude sucked, and he was openly rude any chance he got. He got so hostile that even I, the tadpole still forming a backbone, ended the interview a little early feigning a text from home. I was actually sent an offer by the hiring manager the next day and I declined it as I had an offer brewing at a place I liked more. The hiring manager called me and asked why I was declining and I pointed out that I didn't want to work with the "rude guy" at the interview. He briefly apologized and said the tech was an "acquired taste". The rear end in a top hat tech had the nerve to facebook message me telling me I needed thicker skin. I totally didn't know it though as facebook had classified it as a message request and I didn't even see it for months after the fact.

"Toxicity" is a relatively recent concept. Early in my career every office had people with "rough edges" one was expected to deal with. They usually had seniority or were impossible to fire due to their knowledge so anyone that had a problem was expected to deal. Tolerance for it is dying out fast but obviously there's still holdouts.

Men here are almost literally unwashed cave dwellers, no manners, no empathy, fully automatic toxicity but extremely thin skin if you throw their poo poo back at them. That dude sending me the email is the perfect example of that, I reject them and call them out on their poo poo and he has loving meltdown like a child.

Got a VXrail deployment going. It's been a struggle to say the least, but it's going. Two days ago I used the Updater to apply patches from 7.0.1 to 7.0.2 and it rebooted vCenter. When it came back up, my license wasn't applying. I have spent two days talking to Dell support to get this resolved. Every one of them has tried to send me to the Digital Locker, but vCenter is embedded in VXrail so that's not going to work. I am at my wit's end. I've involved our entire team from Account Exec to PM. No one is useful. I hate this Dell poo poo, I should have pushed harder to get a couple servers and a SAN. We got sold a backup appliance too that is going on 4 months of not able to be deployed because every time I send a planning document some rear end in a top hat makes a suggestion and it all starts over. Should have just bought a bunch of supermicro boxes and rolled my own. Never trust Dell.

Kyrosiris posted:I mean his phrasing is yikes but in general it just makes sense to spell an email address regardless unless there's a pre-existing working relationship already Of course it makes sense to spell out the email address, but that does not excuse a blatantly racist post. Plausible deniability is the bread-and-butter of casual racism. They say something that is surface-level reasonable (like "they should spell out their email address"), but the underlying thought is that the other person, by the nature of their very existence, is an inconvenience. Let's flip this around: do any of you spell out your name for your foreign counterparts, who speak English as a second language, as a courtesy? If not, why do you think they should hold themselves to a standard that you, yourself, do not uphold? Oh, you didn't think it was necessary? Your name is common? Well, maybe over there, Zhoomar is common! Or Thierry. Or Padmahnabaran. Whatever. (all names of people I've worked with on a daily basis) The odds of someone deliberately throwing a wrench in the works by consciously NOT spelling out their name is, frankly, very slim.

I spell my name out for everyone, both my first and last names are fairly basic and common but can be spelled 2 different ways; my first name is spelled in the more common fashion, but my last name is spelled in a less common fashion, so I've just gotten used to saying 'MotherFucking James, Mother Omega Tango Hotel etc etc" I'm avoiding the rest of the conversation because it almost feels like beating a dead horse at this point.

I didn't mean to diminish that his post was pretty loving racist, more just that spelling out an email address regardless is sensible. (and yeah, in any verbal communication where I don't know the person, I absolutely spell it out just to make sure, because I appreciate it when it's done for me v  v)Also, his post would've bounced for both of the Abhisheks I work with, so go figure.

My last name is a common household object with one letter added so I always have to spell it. That being said I also don’t leave voicemails with my email, if I need to get a hold of someone we have our emails already. Also it’s pretty obviously racist to say ‘if you’re an Indian’ as if there aren’t a ton of name combinations out there for any number of various groups of people that folks would have a hard time guessing without someone explicitly spelling it out.
