It's hard to contain my excitement for this news about container management from #RedHat. 🤭
There are tons of people working on making container orchestration and management much easier and more secure every day and I'm proud to work with them. ♥️ 📦
I've spent a couple of weeks using #nushell at work because I do (way too much) json and yaml fiddling in #kubernetes ( #openshift ). It's way more ergonomic than doing things with bash, jq, yq, mlr, awk, Perl (with only the core libs available), etc. Figured I'd just go with it and maybe introduce it to my peers. Folks noticed the formatted output right away as better so now I've written up daily examples and been asked to demonstrate it.
As much flack as I've given #RedHat over #RHEL source shenanigans, they've kept #Ansible AWX #opensource and available to the public, very much to their credit. Tower was proprietary when they bought it and they opened it and kept it open.
And yes, this post is really about #Hashicorp. Don't do false equivalent arguments. Hashicorp definitely did the worse thing.
There is also a bit of schadenfreude about this as Red Hat will now have to pull Terraform from #Openshift as some collateral damage from #Hashicorp doing an anti-competitive thing with its source code.
It would be sweet if #Kubernetes had a mechanism where apps could somehow get authentication and authorization through the #IAM and #RBAC of the cluster managers (#Rancher, #OpenShift). I mean fully automated, generates oauth consumer or SAML SP, registered on both ends, etc., and in a format easily plugged into almost any helm chart.
Well... I gotta say I'm not sure why my opinion of #Rancher was kinda mid, but after working with it this week, I was really impressed. Upgrades were so quick and smooth compared to what I've come to expect with #OKD and #OpenShift
I'm continually amazed by the #Fedora community, but admittedly having trouble processing a certain mistrust for #RedHat right now in light of recent layoffs and comments from #IBM's CEO about replacing people with AI. I'm legit angry about the harm done to Fedora and the #opensource world by some clearly out of touch suits and grieved by the human cost of those decisions on people who most certainly did not deserve it.
It's coming at a very awkward time as we're actively evaluating expanding our investments in Red Hat subscriptions in my dayjob in significant ways and these events are giving me pause where otherwise it would have been clear that this was the right move. For example, one of the people who got us to consider using #OpenShift for a current major project was one of the one's laid off.
Getting automatic https on #Openshift is a particular pain compared to other k8s distributions because of the non-standard "route" by default for exposing stuff. Made some progress with cert-manager today but not everywhere. This is definitely something that's more straightforward to do in k3s.
