@rishabincloud @twilio @aiDotEngineer Sick!

[Parveen Singh @cloudwithsingh]

most people learn kubernetes backwards. they write yaml and kubectl apply before they can read a cluster.

real on-call work is ~70% reading state. get, describe, explain. learn to read first and the rest gets easy. https://t.co/Fb7GMkW95B

[Parveen Singh @cloudwithsingh]

terraform is declarative. you describe the end state, it works out the steps.

then plan shows you exactly what will be created, changed, or destroyed before anything moves.

that preview is the safety net the console never gave you. https://t.co/EMvLGQkbGp

Docker thing tutorials skip:

on the default network, containers only find each other by IP. IPs change, so it breaks.

make your own network and docker hands you DNS. they reach each other by name.

lab: https://t.co/lCyT0XPqkF

[Parveen Singh @cloudwithsingh]

if you write bicep or terraform but still run az deployment from your laptop, you have infrastructure as code without the automation.

the fix is about 30 lines of yaml in .github/workflows/ that deploys on every push. https://t.co/6fqfIv1XTi

[Parveen Singh @cloudwithsingh]

what separates people who use terraform from people who understand it: state.

terraform.tfstate is terraform's memory. plan is just terraform comparing that memory to reality, and drift detection is the same comparison.

learn state and terraform stops being unpredictable

4/ start here if docker still feels like magic: https://t.co/jxVhRi2NUP

[Parveen Singh @cloudwithsingh]

1/ we just shipped the first Docker labs on CloudLearn. honestly the labs were the easy part.

[Parveen Singh @cloudwithsingh]

3/ why go to that trouble? because you don't learn containers from a video. you learn them by running and breaking them.

[Parveen Singh @cloudwithsingh]

what unblocks most people learning docker isn't a command, it's one sentence:

an image is a template. a container is a running copy of it.

once that clicks, networking and even k8s stop looking like magic.

Posted a video after a long time now,
I shared how you can deploy Azure Virtual Desktop with Intune.

Check it out here!

☁️ Azure community is growing and getting more engagement now.

It was amazing to see more than 200 people attending the Vancouver Azure User Group and network at this scale.

Quick highlight from the recent session 👍👍

🔥 Weekend Project: I built a Service Mesh Analyzer in Go (golang)

It uses a K-Means algorithm, which groups time-series data patterns.

Why is this helpful for Service Mesh?

👉 Pattern recognition across Kubernetes Services
👉 Spot problems like retry storms, latency spikes, and load balancing issues
👉 Ensure that you understand "normal" behaviors of your Services

Here are some effective Azure cost-saving strategies:

1. Right-Sizing Resources:
Analyze Usage: Use Azure Advisor or Azure Cost Management to understand resource utilization.
Resize: Scale down or up based on actual usage. Overprovisioning leads to unnecessary costs.

Thread 🧵

[Parveen Singh @cloudwithsingh]

9. Network Cost Optimization:
VNet Peering: Use Virtual Network Peering instead of VPNs where possible to reduce egress data transfer costs.
Traffic Manager: Optimize routing to reduce latency and, indirectly, costs by improving performance.
