    • Registered for CKA/CKS and DOP-C01.
    • AWS IAM uses ABAC for attributes instead of roles.
    • “Core dump” comes from an early (now obsolete) tech for RAM called magnetic core memory. Mem, registers, state. Can dump running processes with gdb instead of crashes with kernel.core_pattern, of course.
      • https://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2016-08-09/gdb-example-ncurses.html
    • IoT, schemas for various smart devices beyond phones/computers. Will add some automation to my motorized shades.
    • AWS DevOps Guru does anomaly detection (among other things like alert calibration). Will compare to Watchdog.
    • Before tying to the nomenclature of a specific cloud provider, distinguish compute with IaaS / CaaS / FaaS.
      • E.g EC2 / ECS / Lambda.
      • Behind the scenes, Lambda uses EC2.
      • You can have ECS orchestrate your containers on EC2 if you need full control of your nodes, or Fargate for serverless if you don’t need full node customization (just cpu/mem, and scalable).
      • There’s also EKS, if you want standard Kubernetes instead of ECS.
      • Workflow management is not the exact same as serverless tasking, but there’s a managed Airflow as well (MWAA).
    • Installed vscode and wsl2 (just “wsl.exe –install” in admin cmd, but have to enable virtualization in bios first, then “wsl –install -d Ubuntu). 20.04.03 LTS. Apt update and upgrade. Configured dev setup on my custom tower.
      • Remember “code .” from wsl to open vscode (on the windows host) at that location (on the wsl2 dist).
      • Added “cd ~” to .bashrc, the default path when wsl opens is windows’ %USERPROFILE%.
    • etcd.
      • Installed 3.4.16.
      • Played with etcdctl, ran some comparisons to prep for local k8s cluster.
      • Standard leader/follower voting in replication. And election.
      • Watch function. This is what K8s uses for declaration. Compares Config with State.
    • AWS Redshift to coalesce your data lake, warehouse, and DBs.
