I'm a DEVOPS at world's largest bus ticket booking company but tweets are my own thoughts...

My pet project `KUBESORT v0.3.0` has been released. Made sorting even simpler.

Do give it a start on #GitHub if you like this project

@StalwartCoder Abishek is also a common spelling and so is Abisek.

Do u know how my name's pronunciation is torn everyday? 😭

@kamath_sutra @pratyush_r8 @StalwartCoder @smallest_AI Cool, but without smallestai models it won't be that great.

I built a searchable database of every song that includes key, bpm and a handful of additional criteria that you might find useful.

God's eye view 24-hour replay of Operation Epic Fury.

The Iran strikes kicked off and I set an AI agent swarm loose to record every OSINT signal I could find before the caches cleared. Built a full 4D reconstruction in WorldView.

I can scrub through minute by minute and watch the whole thing unfold on a 3D globe:

> Airspace clearing over Tehran
> Ground strike coordinates locking in
> Severe GPS interference blinding the region
> EO and SAR satellites making passes over the strike zone
> No-fly zones locking down 9 countries
> Shipping fleets scrambling at the Strait of Hormuz

It's pretty amazing how complete of a picture you can build without "proprietary data fusion" -- one dev with public signals and a love for computer graphics and geospatial intelligence.

Thank you for all the love on my last post. Dropping WorldView in April. This my friends is just the beginning.

I'm happy to receive this gift🫠
(Don't expect a return gift though💀)

If you are confused about what to gift me, gift me a Claude Subscription for a Month(if not for a year).

Create an OG image for your website with Nano Banana Pro:

Create a premium open-graph hero image for [BRAND]:

A wide horizontal layout (16:9 ratio) designed for social sharing, website headers, and marketing collateral. This is a high-end designer mockup presentation suitable for a branding portfolio or product launch. The focus is on clarity, balance, negative space and visual confidence.

LAYOUT STRUCTURE:

The composition is split into two clear zones with generous breathing room between them.

LEFT ZONE:
The [BRAND] logo and brand name are placed in the top-left corner. The logo is sized appropriately for the format, not too large, not too small. It reads clearly but doesn't dominate.

Below the logo, a single large headline is set in a clean, modern sans-serif typeface. The headline is short, typically 3-6 words maximum. It is confident, left-aligned, and sits comfortably within the left third of the canvas. The text color is derived from the brand palette.

RIGHT ZONE:
One floating, rounded rectangular panel suggesting a product interface, dashboard, or app screen. The panel has subtle depth, either through a soft drop shadow or slight elevation effect. The contents of the panel are suggestive rather than detailed, hinting at functionality without clutter.

The panel is angled very slightly or presented straight-on depending on what feels most balanced. It floats naturally in the composition, grounded by its shadow but with clear separation from the background.

NEGATIVE SPACE:
Strong use of negative space throughout. The background is clean and uncluttered. There is clear visual breathing room between the left text block and the right interface panel. Nothing feels cramped or crowded.

COLOR & STYLE:
Colors are drawn directly from the [BRAND] palette. The background can be a brand color, white, off-white, or a subtle gradient that complements the brand.

The overall style is flat or near-flat. No heavy gradients, no glossy effects, no 3D renders. Shadows are subtle and serve only to create gentle depth. Typography is modern, confident, and legible at small sizes.

MOOD & FEEL:
Clean SaaS homepage hero. Quiet confidence. The image should feel premium, polished and intentional. Every element is placed with purpose. The overall impression is of a company that knows what it's doing.

WHAT TO AVOID:
No stock photo elements. No people. No complex illustrations. No decorative graphics or patterns. No multiple interface panels. No visual noise. No text other than the headline and brand name. No borders or frames around the image.

OUTPUT:
A single 16:9 image with no watermarks, no mockup frames, and no external branding. Ready to use as an open-graph image, social header, or presentation slide.

@techyoutbe But the etcd or scheduler will never communicate with the worker nodes. They only communicate with the API server.

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

DevOps Diaries:

Today I just explored an interesting tool, just sharing with you guys also.

#LocalStack - This is an open-source tool that lets you run AWS cloud services locally on your machine, without needing an actual AWS account or paying for AWS usage.

Instead of deploying your Lambda, S3 bucket, or DynamoDB table to real AWS (which takes time and money),
you can run them locally using LocalStack - all in a Docker container.

Community version covers most basic AWS services, but there are limitations - but enough to get started and see how it works.

This is how I created a S3 locally and upload files:

1. aws s3 mb s3://bucket1 --endpoint-url=https://t.co/w2U4ByVq59

2. aws s3 cp j s3://bucket1 --endpoint-url=https://t.co/w2U4ByVq59
upload: ./j to s3://bucket1/j

3. aws s3 ls s3://bucket1 --endpoint-url=https://t.co/w2U4ByVq59
2025-11-12 08:32:03     0 j

This is fun, is n't it? 😃

Note:
I’m not sure how often they update their APIs to keep up with AWS changes. There are also some limitations when using it for real development work. If anyone has tried replacing their AWS dev playground with LocalStack, Please share your experience.

Terraform wasn't just the MCP of that era... it basically invented the era.

And yeah, I still get hard thinking about a well-written .tf file. Fight me 💥

[ۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗۗAATHITH_ALFA @devops__guy]

Who else thinks Terraform was the MCP of that era?

Terraform:

Terraform binary > Terraform Providers > API

MCP:

Mcp Client > Mcp Server > API

Anthropic/Claude just rediscovered the exact same pattern that HashiCorp nailed a decade ago, slapped a new protocol on it, and now everyone's acting like it's revolutionary.
