We have a VictoriaLogs Helm chart with a PVC size of 30 GB, which is no longer enough for us, and we need to increase it. But the problem is that .spec.volumeClaimTemplates[*].spec.resources.requests.storage in STS is immutable, that is, we can’t just change the size through values.yaml file, because it will lead to the error“Forbidden: updates… Read More »
It’s not the first time I’ve encountered similar errors when upgrading VictoriaMetrics, so it’s time to note a solution. So, after upgrading the victoria-metrics-k8s-stack 0.55.0 => 0.56.0, errors appeared in the Operator logs: … {“logger”:”controller-runtime.source.EventHandler”,”msg”:”if kind is a CRD, it should be installed before calling Start”,”kind”:”VMAnomaly.operator.victoriametrics.com”,”error”:”no matches for kind \”VMAnomaly\” in version \”operator.victoriametrics.com/v1\””} …… Read More »

For VictoriaMetrics, there is the vmctl tool which can migrate data through the APIs… Read More »
Terraform has two ways to bring existing resources under Terraform management – using the Terraform CLI and the terraform import command, or using the import resource. Why might we need to import resources? if we already have a manually configured (the “clickops”) service that we want to bring under Terraform management (for example, the common… Read More »
We have an automation for AWS IAM that creates EKS Access Entries to give AWS IAM Users access to an EKS cluster. I don’t remember if I wrote it myself or if some LLM generated it (although judging by the code, I did 🙂 ), but later I discovered an unpleasant feature of how this… Read More »
To put it very simply, Celery is something we can use to perform tasks outside of our main service. For example, there is a Backend API that has some kind of endpoint to which mobile devices send information that the user has created a new whatever in the application.
