Launched 10th app into prod on cloud native platform the https://t.co/ha9tC4OaRW main website. Powered by OSS @CloudNativeFdn tech namely @kubernetesio and secured by Istio. Autoscaling thanks to stateless design leveraging Azure Files / Managed DB. Arch: https://t.co/ZtVFOnM8Gm

@ibuildthecloud Would love to see you on mastodon maybe using the https://t.co/0sGAD1U0C5 instance all info sec Twitter is there now and a few Cloud Native folks.

@sinkinsona @StatCan_eng Thx to you Open Source became a huge part of StatsCan and we grew as a department / pathfinder. A huge win for @SSC_CA

I know top moment for u must be the cloud migration of all of our workloads. However the award for public service excellence by the GG for me is unforgettable

[William Hearn @william_hearn]

Was pointed to https://t.co/1K84V9T8I9 which while not bootstrap uses web components and is kind of what I wanted 🙂

[William Hearn @william_hearn]

Does anyone in the GoC know about if we ever going to get a new GCWeb theme that isn’t bootstrap 3 and using jQuery. A modern one using bootstrap 5 and web components would be ideal.

@dexterchief @ToferC @tallardyceCA Congratulations big win for PHAC! Maybe potential for collaboration between our data analytics as a service 🙂

[William Hearn @william_hearn]

@AzContainerApp Just waiting for this to work with Azure Files and the Terraform provider to be updated 🙂

[William Hearn @william_hearn]

Playing with the OpenText Extended ECM helm chart and it mostly works on Azure AKS though everyone set your service type defaults to ClusterIP please 🙂

[William Hearn @william_hearn]

Very excited for the possible potential of ARC GIS Enterprise for Kubernetes providing on demand workloads tied into Kubeflow and other tooling for AAW Data Analytics as a Service. Could be a game changer! @Esri @CloudNativeFdn

[William Hearn @william_hearn]

@jsuwala @argoproj @CoulerProject Kubeflow Pipelines uses Argo workflows under scenes just with ML glue on top. ^_^ Right now we just use the KFP DSL and looking at plugins like Kale. I know a few of data scientists still say haven’t hit the sweet spot. Not sure if looked at @CoulerProject but worth a check thx!

[William Hearn @william_hearn]

It’s been so awesome hearing the positive feedback on the Protected B workloads rollout in our Data Analytics as a Service Platform (AAW) running on @CloudNativeFdn tooling! @zachomedia did amazing work on the https://t.co/bIE1I5Ay39 outlining some of key design considerations

[William Hearn @william_hearn]

Tonight after fighting cancer for almost a year I lost the sweetest most loving and compassionate dog in the whole wide world. She both made me a better person and got me through some hard times.

Ill never know again such an amazing soul. I love you immensely Karma and miss u

[William Hearn @william_hearn]

@AzureSupport why did you roll out konnectivity to our AKS cluster just by doing an az aks update —attach-acr.

What is worse is now the connection to our cluster no longer works with a broken pipe error.

No change on your end should result in a broken cluster state.

[William Hearn @william_hearn]

Welcome to #MSBuild week!

Below is an update from AKS:

https://t.co/6nDw7bxMj8

There might me more coming up 😇

[William Hearn @william_hearn]

Kubernetes is the O.S. of cloud providing API impl for all cloud providers and services.

Along w/Managed DBs and object storage Azure Files (NFS) we keep workloads stateless w/zero downtime updates and auto scaleable on demand sticking to open standards

[William Hearn @william_hearn]

Reminder that StatCan open sourced our CIS benchmarked DBaaS terraform for other departments to use and help improve:
