K8s & Docker

Enjoying Microk8s, Docker, and the TICK Stack.

All the metrics. Monitoring #k8s^[1], #docker^[2], and #baremetal^[3] using the #TICK^[4] stack. Hosting #RocketChat^[5], #GitLab^[6], #Artifactory^[7], #Nginx^[8] (reverse proxy), & #Keyclock^[9] (for SSO across all) in #Docker^[10]. Spinning dev containers on-demand running #RoR^[11] and #Cloud9^[12] using #MicroK8s^[13] & #MetalLB^[14]. pic.twitter.com/tJA9WVHagF^[15]— Tom Hastings (@tghastings)

Knocking Down Barriers for CS Education

Students deserve the best education regardless of socioeconomic factors and the pandemic has been widening the equity gaps. Last semester I found many of my CS students relied heavily on school computers to do their assignments. I’ve spent the last two weeks working nights and weekends to build a platform which can run as a #SaaS or on-prem. Students will be able to dev using a web browser on a platform that scales using #Kubernetes. Teachers can create #dev #environments for their students with a few clicks and schools can use their existing infrastructure (yes, even behind a firewall as long as the nodes can reach the internet) with the self hosted application.
