I have several services that use as much network bandwidth as is available to them on Kubernetes. But I need to prioritize or at least guarantee some amount of bandwidth to a certain component. What are my options other than separate node pools?

It all started because I got a DM asking me about where to place an "Observability team" within an org. I realized that I had a lot to say about it. This blog post is definitely a "side quest", b/c I totally hadn't planned to write it!

Anyway, here you go. Enjoy!

Wanted: VS Code extension that lets me hover over JSX/TSX tags in my React code and then highlights the corresponding DOM elements in my browser window where I'm previewing my app (just like it works with the browser's dev tools, but directly from TSX in the code editor would be awesome).

Hm, today I deployed otel-demo to play with it, but the last version, which is a great demo anyway and now….

As a German, never in my life would I have thought that the US would go from liberating us from the nazis in WW2 to telling us that we should bring the nazis back into power.

Sollte man Pflanzendrinks wie Haferdrink / Hafermilch lieber selbst herstellen?

Solche Fragen hört man immer wieder und die Hersteller von manchen Geräten werben natürlich stark für die heimische Herstellung.

So eindeutig ist die Antwort aber nicht unbedingt. 1/8
