Usually, we don’t see Endpoints objects when using Kubernetes Services, as they are working under the hood, similarly to ReplicaSets which are “hidden” behind Kubernetes Deployments. Kubernetes Service So, Service is a Kubernetes abstraction that uses labels to chose pods to route traffic to, see the Kubernetes: ClusterIP vs NodePort vs LoadBalancer, Services, and Ingress… Read More »
One day our developers said that they can not create new AWS LoadBalancers via Ingress on our Kubernetes Dev cluster (AWS EKS). Balancers are created using AWS ALB Controller, see AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service: running ALB Ingress controller. Errors in the controller’s logs were: E0304 07:12:38.595113 1 controller.go:217] kubebuilder/controller “msg”=”Reconciler error” “error”=”no object matching key… Read More »
We have a Jenkins instance that is running jobs in Docker containers on its host. Eventually, we’ve faced with an issue when the current AWS Ec2 instance t2.2xlarge (8 CPU, 32 RAM) during peak workload periods was too overloaded – not enough CPU time, not enough memory. So, the first solution could be to proceed… Read More »
We have a PHP application running with Kubernetes in pods with two dedicated containers – NGINX и PHP-FPM. The problem is that during downscaling clients get 502 errors. E.g. when a pod is stopping, its containers can not correctly close existing connections. So, in this post, we will take a closer look at the pods’… Read More »
Besides the Apache Bench and JMeter there is another utility – Yandex Tank. It’s used by our QA team and now it’s time for me to take a closer look on it to test one issue with our application running on a Kubernetes cluster. In this post a short overview of its capabilities and configuration.… Read More »
Locales is a set of environment variables that are used to determine how to display data and time (for example, first of the week), symbols encoding (for example, how to display cyrillic symbols), default files order when one executing the ls command, and so on. Those variables are: LANG: Determines the default locale in the… Read More »

The documentation about Bluetooth on Arch Linux can be found here>>> and here>>>: Installation Install necessary packages: [simterm] $ sudo pacman -S bluez bluez-utils [/simterm] Check kernel’s module: [simterm] $ lsmod |… Read More »
We are using Logz.io to collect our Kubernetes cluster logs (also, there is a local Loki instance). Logs are collected and processed by a Fluentd pod on every WorkerNode which are deployed from a DaemonSet in its default configuration, see the documentation here – logzio-k8s. The problem we faced is that those pods are consuming… Read More »
Active alerts sending frequency via Alertmanager is configured via the repeat_interval in the /etc/alertmanager/config.yml file. We have this interval set to 15 minutes, and as result, we have notifications about alerts in our Slack each fifteen minutes. Still, some alerts are such a “known issues”, when we already started the investigation or fixing it, but… Read More »
In the previous post ArgoCD: an overview, SSL configuration, and an application deploy we did a quick overview on how to work with the ArgoCD in general, and now let’s try to deploy a Helm chart. The most interesting part of this is how to enable the Helm Secrets. Had some pain with this, but… Read More »
