From YouTube: 9. #everyonecancontribute cafe: AWS re:invent try-out: EC2 macOS & Proton

Description

- Use Amazon EC2 Mac Instances to Build & Test macOS, iOS, ipadOS, tvOS, and watchOS Apps https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-use-mac-instances-to-build-test-macos-ios-ipados-tvos-and-watchos-apps/
- AWS Proton: A microservices/container deployment service https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/preview-aws-proton-automated-management-for-container-and-serverless-deployments/

A

um Today, um I kind of hijacked the session again, I believe, um because uh aws green, when this is happening- and there was an announcement um of amazon, ec2 instances.

A

Which we, uh which we want to just try out and we've been playing around with the the amazon ec2 instance creation right before this session, and we probably just want to continue creating something- and this is what I what we want to do now or today we want to like try it out and start the instance um and maybe install the gitlab ci runner on it, register it in a new project and then develop some code and run it.

A

um This would be a a good idea and a good challenge to see whether this works in one hour or maybe it works in two hours. I don't know um we will just see about this, um just to provide you with an introduction what this is and why this was announced. I'm just sharing my screen entirely.

A

um This is google chrome yeah. um Let's just go with the entire screen, so um this is like the announcement which happened. I think yesterday um during the keynotes, and the main idea is that you can launch ec2 instances for mac, which is mojave, which is the previous version, and catalina and probably yeah pixel will be coming soon.

A

And inside the ec2 console you have the option to go ahead and say: okay, I want to launch an instance, and previously we've been running into some problems but yeah anyhow, you can kind of select it over here and the last thing I discussed with.

A

With niklas before was how to kind of run that or create that from from either the the web interface or the cli, and one thing I did is to install the aws cli with some rule bundle, and this has been prepared and also set up now, and the thing is: what should I do next? This is my my question.

A

A

I think I installed it.

B

You need only to type aws, mostly.

A

Oh okay, yeah! That's!

A

um I want to start so when we select this instance.

B

It is called the official blog post, the announcement blog post. I send it already in the uh zoom.

A

The official announcement was this: one yeah.

B

Mostly going down down down so they're the actions that we can do mostly from the cli so instead of clicking through the ui, mostly.

B

B

B

Yeah, we need to um try to get uh quotas on that, so by default it's not enabled on our account, um that's for message, and it says we need to ask aws to give us access pro. We have a problem because it could take some time in terms of it could be in five minutes off, but it could be also. It takes two hours or four hours of support.

A

Okay, um this is kind of a showstopper. If you just want to try it out.

C

B

Mostly, we could try to trigger it and see how fast it goes, and we could um talk a little bit about that and also about aws or something like um um on the part.

B

So yeah you need to fill. Oh everything is requested. What we need uh we need to select the region so drawing.

A

B

Us east, it was.

A

Northern virginia: this is what what has been selected.

B

And then we need to select, for instance,.

B

A

B

M instance, it was called make one something like that. So singlets.

A

It's a standard instance limit new limit. I don't know.

B

uh Wait or is it match because it was zero, so I think it shouldn't be. Can you check all the primary instance? Types would be also not because it's much metal could be also special. To do that.

B

Oh you mean the prime minister type is different.

D

Service request.

A

B

uh Probably incense type, what is, is it eights, probably wait. Let me do it if they have also my dreams.

A

Okay, this is something I did not expect.

A

C

Should be a standard image.

A

How can I find out, how can I find this out.

B

I'm currently checking what's the name of this, because, typically, um when you go back to this uh sidebar, you can select in the creator. So I think it was on your second page.

A

B

Yeah yeah, so when you now select the twitter linux, so there will be listed all instance: family family would be made one or it could be the type to be mac one metal. So, typically, when you go to the standard instances, it could be from the family to um tier 2 tr3.

B

So the t3 are the newer one and mac has its own family, so it destroyed mag1. But I currently don't know how we can request this resource.

B

This is for most people.

A

This is interesting um increase.

A

A

Interesting um request: a quota increase, I think probably it's the problem, because the mac instance has a pretty high.

A

Cpu count, which is, I think, 12 virtual cpus, and lots.

B

Of memory, I will check in a private account for mine, but if it works or not.

A

Yeah, maybe I just want to increase the limit to one um to just try it out.

B

So yeah: let's try to do that.

A

Use case description I want to just drive.

A

The newly announced ec2.

A

Instances on mac os during our live stream.

A

Just probably creates a support ticket now: okay,.

A

Yeah, okay, what else can we do if we can't do anything.

A

Yeah, I thought it would be easy to just start it up, uh install a gitlab runner and then run some run some tests to run some code. um I could probably do it on mac os myself, because I'm running mac os, um but for everyone else like trying to develop something.

A

What would have been interesting um mechanism on the amount? It's just something else I can try out from the announcement, probably because I don't know which one which tops was that not this one.

A

A

Some other announcements in the aws reinvent session yesterday in the keynote, and there was, for example, the public container registry, that you can run ecas in your own data center, which is the the kubernetes offering there's aurora serverless, which is the database stuff, and you can also use babelfish in the future just to connect uh microsoft, sql with postgres as a native adapter, which is also pretty nice. Okay,.

B

So probably you could try to deploy from gitlab to aws proto.

A

Probably microservices deployment services.

C

This is something.

A

A

How proton works it.

A

Forget web service still tutorial how to do that.

B

It's a very premium.

A

Technically, console.

B

Let's get started with the user guide, mostly.

A

This one, our user guide um automatic proton for developers is it available.

B

So, on the left side in the navigation, the second link just getting started.

A

Okay, what do I need? We have an account. This is something which is in the cli. um Oh.

B

We need a determined for whatever reason.

A

Let me check, I don't know, I have a good job account, um mostly to sync everything from guitar kid level whatever. um If.

B

It's the place, we can do it from everywhere.

A

Yeah, I think it's been used for some authentication or also something.

A

Okay, yeah, I can install um something I do not trust with running these commands.

C

A

D

A separate repository.

A

To trigger a service problem when a new commit is made okay, this is using some sort of web books.

B

Yeah but we can do it with a push in vegeta pipeline, so in our diploma.

A

Yeah totally, um I would ignore the steps with github. Now I'm just looking into installing the proton api, whatever that is, let's just try it.

A

Okay, five times copy paste, I love it.

A

Yeah this is like the cold fat bash thing. Normally, I would want to understand what it does, um but in the end, it's a preview. So we should just like.

C

A

The tutorials it's doing something magic, um we have a sample repository okay, um this is called rv aws proton service. This is no problem at all. um This is my account and I can just create uh a new project, hello, which would important.

C

A

It here yeah, of course, what else did you think.

D

D

A

It's I I'm not dedicated with github already, um ah but I need to.

B

You need to follow it first right on github.

A

Yeah, of course, I need to it first.

B

Okay, let's follow, I know you tweet. This is a different method. You don't need to fork it.

B

I should be able.

A

To go back, I go back.

C

No, this is not.

B

You probably don't know what the template stuff was not remember anymore.

B

You can specify the url yeah. You can.

A

D

B

A

Repo by url yeah- I totally forgot about this. This is true.

A

This should be public.

D

A

um Okay, what's next in that guide, we.

C

Have december repository.

B

Now we need to build a docker image currently with the aws cli, which contains the tools, if you want to run it from the pipeline.

A

It would be interesting to see what else is needed.

A

It has a docker file. Okay, um then, let's open the web ide and add.

A

It's very easier to click here I want to use this one um yeah and that's about it.

B

A

Should I create a merchandise.

B

Every time I don't commit directly to main branch or master branch at all, so then I can use the automatic merge pipeline stuff and I don't need to care about it.

A

Yeah, okay, um I was just being lazy. um Okay, this is building the darker.

B

A

A

You mean the magic um this one.

B

Yeah the merge from pipelines it sees. Is it also possible to trade directly from the ui when you create a branch and from from the ci it's possible, but it's not in the ui. I think, but.

A

B

You can configure it automatically.

A

But I wanted to check what else is needed, um I'm just losing track of the. Where is it?

A

Where is the guide? I was.

D

A

ah This one um create a service service, template, okay,.

B

Something I.

A

B

Yeah, we need first to open the proton pronzo. So it's in step two.

A

Okay, let's open the proton console, maybe open it in a.

C

A

I'm using the terminal yeah the screen is big, but it's not so big. um Okay, we have the proton cone. So this is not the proto console. This is something else.

B

It's only getting started so in the left is for navigation.

B

And then you can click on.

A

Okay, let me move this to the right again, bye-bye, I'm clicking on services. We are creating a service. Then um credit service template select my fargate service. Okay, I need to search for it.

B

We need to first create a services.

C

A

Clicking the radio button here.

A

On the top right corner of the template,.

B

And did we set up a different source template go back.

B

uh Drawback and then go open. The navigation bar.

B

Probably go to service templates.

A

Yeah but I'm trying to follow the instructions in the in the getting started guide.

A

That takes it to the services page.

B

Okay, so then we need to go back to services like in the documentation.

A

I want to create a service and we want to use a template, but there are no service templates for us, which means something else must have been done before.

C

Maybe it has to do with the with the guitar printer, because it's step one. So is this: the service template.

A

First connections.

A

Could be that this provides something? um What are those connections? There are so many um keywords which are totally new to me: um connections, page of developer tools, um yeah, okay,.

C

Available so it's called pipeline.

A

Open the pros and cons.

C

Settings and then source connections.

C

The thicker connections of the.

B

ah This would mean connecting your editor propository, mostly.

C

B

So developer tools is for um service, where you can use code commit and.

A

B

All the stuff choosing, but we don't need to think I think we can do it by a push model from our side.

A

But for some reason this wants a connection. Okay, um I can. I can connect what what is the connection name, hey.

B

Yeah you need to clone your. um The connection. Name is probably the url.

B

Repository or clicking on import will tell the truth.

A

What happens if I.

A

C

Copy paste this.

C

So it has to do something with the app itself, so I think it's a github app itself.

C

Press the info button.

A

A

A

Interesting um clicks, I'm clicking on it and then.

A

No results: okay,.

C

It seems it's really tightly coupled to the source.

B

Yeah, I think what we can do is um that we create a service and also a source template by our own, instead of using the provided one and then creating the pipeline to push it mostly.

A

Actually, there's nothing inside, so it's just the sample.

C

A

B

Yeah we okay, um the um container videocraft file, contains a special special nginx image because there's the proton runtime, also in the bundled.

A

B

So but currently the problem is that we can't use the webhooks because database isn't currently um provided there, so we need to create a service template.

B

Oh it's shitty stuff. I think.

A

Okay, we call it gitlab or whatever. um Okay, nice.

A

The other ninth is called: they want their form checks back, um template display name.

A

I don't care that description. I don't care um s3 bucket name.

B

um So if we can, let it empty you if we can do this, we don't need to force to do.

B

Okay, then, we also to create environment template. What is the environment? Template click on left.

A

This is getting into something I totally regret to be doing now, um what page not found? Okay, um I think ah interesting.

A

Okay, so oh, this is like a embedded iframe thing: okay,.

B

So then, let's create our own.

D

B

Okay, you need to create an s3 bucket. First, then we need to go to.

A

Okay, um I need to go into my account now. I need to just.

A

Like you're learning, by doing it's fine, um I'm searching for s3.

A

B

The bucket is probably taken because the global all buckets on aws, I need to be unique because they are shared all between all accounts, mostly so.

B

Now we don't have currently a bucket here, go down.

B

Yeah, let's create for portrait mode.

A

Okay, so we keep a note, this proton thing only works if we have an s3 bucket.

A

Then we need to specify an environment and the environment wants to use my bucket.

A

I could have clicked here interesting.

D

C

Be way too easy.

A

Yeah, to be honest, I just want to have a button which pro provisions, everything and then it works. um So.

B

The key the bundle file- yes.

A

Why can it? Why doesn't it take just this? The thing which is in there, okay, um folder name.

A

A

A

Oh resource already exists exceptionally, okay.

A

Something happened.

C

Let's go back into the environment templates and I have oh, I have many of.

A

A

C

Oh, it was a draft okay.

A

Delete so it throws an error and it keeps the draft, and then you edit it until when I find the edit button.

D

D

A

That doesn't make sense.

B

A

A

We are creating an environment, template.

B

Mostly, I found the um example for documented.

B

I think it's hard to do it with.

D

A

Okay, now I have lots of pop-ups, which.

C

Should be removed.

A

Okay and then I'm creating a service template which uses this bucket.

A

Which uses this environment.

A

And I already forgot how I wanted to call it proton.

A

Service: okay, yeah once again.

A

A

um Okay, so it creates it again and I need to edit it.

A

So I cannot edit a service template. I can only edit the title and the description.

A

So, starting again- and I think this is kind of preview beta now- um and the form needs to be fixed, good proton and highly likely, uh the backend logging already triggers lots of errors and century is full s3 bucket mine.

A

This is something I copied, which is the service now, and this is our environment, and this hopefully works. Then, okay, now I have a service template and I also need a service.

B

There's no vegetable proton.

B

A

ah I need to click ah okay. This is this is an interesting ux element.

A

A

Our gitlab proton.

C

Branch name main repository id.

A

D

D

A

I could it could have saved me lots of clicking.

B

Okay, there's a lot of steps to do mostly. Is it working.

A

Great and they're doing create environment template, okay, proton preview.

B

A

Cloud formation template, okay,.

B

ah No, it does it once they.

D

A

I I have no idea what they're doing.

B

Literally club formation is like from from aws, mostly so they have this on spec to spin up um services and so on. So what they're doing is? Probably so you can um with the environment template you can specify how the cloud formation template should look for your environment. um In the meantime, I found a repository. Mostly um you can click on my link um and we can do a little bit through the document.

D

A

We could also just I could also copy paste everything which is in there.

B

But this would be boring.

A

Yeah, I'm kind of to be honest. I will be using the avs cli for the most operations, because the the user interface has quite some some quirks.

C

A

Okay, um oh this is a different repository.

A

A

Let's, let's start again, it's still fun.

A

um Okay, I have no idea what happened.

B

So um did you clone for ripple so.

A

Yeah I'm currently working in this repository, which is this one.

A

I don't know what happens next. I think I did these steps already, um so the next one is.

A

A

B

We need to go into vlookup and fire date: service, folder.

A

Yeah and you just have to use the database.

B

And repeat the step before right and it will create the bucket most entry.

A

Oh, it's just creating a bucket. I just want to copy paste everything, because otherwise I will eat my.

A

Keyboard: okay,.

B

So this creates a service role for the um proton servers, so that means for access to, because you know we should be careful, because we are giving these servers that we are currently deploying full access to the crown because it has administrator access. So that means later, when we spin up a proton service, it will get full access to the aws account.

B

A

This is this is then, actually the uh the role or the em account that will be leading after the session.

A

Okay, um I'm still trying to figure out what we will see in the end. I have no idea why the output is coming this way. um Okay, we now have permission to kill everything: let's define our templates. Okay, this is the environment template which we tried to create through the ui.

A

Okay, I created something and we oh, they are taking it interesting. ah Okay, this makes sense because we did see the revisions in the uh in the interface okay. Now it's a draft interesting.

C

We just copied.

A

Do we have and template here no.

B

Yeah but no heat, sips uh environment to amp template first.

B

A

B

It into the bucket list.

A

Just a second I'm not copy pasting, anything which is which has doubled uh and inside okay. We are creating a problem whatsoever.

A

Yeah I used to document it as well, but it's it's just dangerous.

A

Okay, we have uploaded it and then we delete it again. um We paste and we inform proton, that we have a new version of environment templates available and blah blah blah registration. The minor version in the output, okay,.

C

Interesting registration in process, wonderful.

C

And okay, what's.

A

C

Incrementing, the minor version id.

A

Okay, then I'm publishing it probably niklas is writing a terror from um workflow. Now.

B

No, I think that the provider doesn't support it right yet so we need to look if a provider supports it.

A

Many years ago I wrote a ruby cli application on ruby sdk, which kind of did some auto monitoring or.

C

Inventory now this was not the thing. Oh, oh, okay,.

A

Oh again, this funny uh yeah, okay, I'm I don't care about security, no.

A

Don't do this at home um and oh, it's not.

B

uh So first we deployed the environment. Now we are starting with service.

A

Okay, something is broken.

A

Command not found service template interesting.

B

Did you did you.

A

Oh, ah I I uh wrong. I did the wrong copy paste, um but this already this was created already yeah um doesn't matter for some reason: we register the service template and then we publish it obviously or now we're updating it and we're publishing it. Okay,.

A

So this is basically git in the background.

A

Okay wow: this is for self-service infrastructure, so teams can like look into that on their own.

A

Now we can actually move back into our proton console.

A

Into this overview,.

B

Probably it's in a different region. You need to check the region. Drawing from we were in us east too, so ohio was buried. They shouldn't.

C

D

B

A

Ohio is yeah, it's not usb us east one, but usc's. Two.

A

Okay, first application environment, just choose create environment and then.

A

D

A

It's interesting that I I just want to do that in the in the cli.

B

I think we did only the ipad. We did only create the templates, mostly it's also probably possible to create it to click on the.

A

A

It's complicated to be honest,.

B

Now, it's probably because we, what we trying to achieve is that we want to have a separation of cruncher between, so that the platform team can provide the infrastructure part. So developer can use.

A

It, I think, I think it's a good pattern, but it's for the first demo. Therefore, the first try. It's really.

A

Head explodes: um okay: let's: let's try what it says: we are creating an environment. We are using the existing template, which is this one. Okay,.

A

Next, what's going on, um we can fill in.

C

Well, you can read this.

A

Proton game mode development: okay: um here I go again typing development or environment service roller. This is the one we created before and.

C

Create a custom secret.

A

Okay, this one uses.

A

100 over there and 101 over there, okay, it's a slash 24.

A

um Click create this provisions. All of the infrastructure and environment anglers can play easy to cluster security groups. Okay,.

A

What does it do now.

C

It doesn't auto refresh.

C

um Is there any status log actions.

A

This is the environment click. Can I click on that? Oh.

D

A

Provisioning outputs, nothing.

A

Something should be happening now, right.

A

Services create service and then uh creating the load. Balance function, service, okay,.

A

C

Yeah cookies, we can't fill the servers repository.

A

Service settings define how to name a descriptor. Oh.

B

I speak for the last 30 minutes and no one hears me probably because it was muted, yeah. Okay, um so literally, what we are currently doing is we are creating the environment for our service.

B

um That means um afterwards we have our environment deployed, it uses cloud formation and you can see the templates what is created currently in the environment. So in the data repository that we checked out locally on the machine, um yeah.

A

Something happened.

B

um There's a there's a cloud space or a spec, something like that and there's the definition how the um stuff should be look like. So, if you're going to intersect, there's the m spec right. So this is what we're creating and we say.

D

B

Want to create the default um environment, and mostly this will be later, the server spec that we were using to um deploy our application of the deployment source. So.

A

Okay, so now we have, ah it succeeded: okay,.

B

Yeah now we need to create the servers that we want to deploy.

A

And we want to use the template we created before okay configure service name.

A

This is called proton demo, I'm not really following what what everyone writes in there. The environment is different to the screenshot for some reason.

B

A

This is a step ahead.

B

Mostly, we are currently on computer.

D

B

So this is the last step that is in the ui. So when you now click next, it could work. Probably.

D

B

ah Now we need to connect the um repository of the service that we want to deploy, so this means we.

A

B

Just because the gitlab um supports currently missing okay.

A

Let's just go great um cold star for this gold star: okay, limit, gitlab; okay: this is something.

B

But I think it should be possible to do um a deployment via cli, mostly from our repository.

A

The thing is to be honest, but what is.

A

A

I just want to link a git repository in the.

D

A

It's not satisfying.

A

This is funny um add a new source connection. I'm clicking on this. What happens now? I want to create a new connection.

A

Okay, um this is the guitar proton connection. I just want to see something now.

C

I'm connecting, I have no idea.

B

So we need to install a new app. Do you bought.

C

C

Install aws connector for github, okay,.

C

Only select one.

D

A

Do I have these, um did I the other repository yeah yeah? I revoked it later on.

A

A

Use my security key.

A

Here is my security key. It's not here. It's somewhere else.

A

Which is um which is somewhere else because it's within with the other keys so.

B

A

B

Can use on mac the fingerprint a second vector security, key.

A

Insert your security key and touch it hello.

A

Oh, it works okay, yeah! I some apps supported on the touch id, but I'm not a friend of it too, because for for what reason I did I buy the uv key. Then.

B

Because that you could say that a biometric factor is not so secure right, encrypted.

A

So when someone wants to hack my computer, they just take my arm whenever my sleep and then they hack my system so um similar similar problem with face id okay. Now I have something connected: what happens next?

A

I can choose something. I need to refresh that because the form is static. Okay, nice.

A

Did you save that no proton demo.

A

C

B

I probably need not to find what is the repository only.

C

Could it repeat that it's just an endings, a unique naming scheme you have to define on your.

B

A

Probably just trying to figure out what the repository id is said. One is it three thousand.

C

C

Promotion is required.

A

This form definitely needs default values, um no idea what happens now.

C

A

Okay, now we are here where the screenshot is, um and the screenshot is so small that I still cannot read it.

C

A

Options um looks different.

B

It could be that we um used um the um that should be the fork uh repository mostly, but let's see what happens mostly when we click create. Why.

C

It doesn't enter your intestines here here, great just a docker value and unit test command.

D

We need to first.

A

Service instance.

A

Yeah, of course, um I have no idea what what I will be doing now.

C

Now it looks the same as on the left side.

A

Yes, indeed, yeah, it's the same thing.

C

On the right change right, so yeah.

A

We need we need to check whether the blog post can be edited somewhere and saying: hey, you need to click on, add new instance. ah It's actually we need. We define the service instance. I just didn't understand that. um Okay, it's a proton demo and the environment is oh this. This is the environment we defined before before we have a port okay.

A

Default number of target tasks you want to be running. Okay, it's.

C

It's marked as top channel, so it's not required.

A

Task size is small.

A

Xml x6s, no, it's small and the image is optional, but for some reason.

C

Templates, this defines okay, it's just a docker image.

A

It's a docker image, but let's just use what's in there um would be interesting.

B

If this could be a few, a full url, so if you can.

A

Use ah you mean the without the the schema part yeah. Let's, let's try what's written in the blog post, first yeah.

B

It could be named, it.

A

Yep, probably we could be using the github, the gitlab repository url from the registry now, um but I'm not sure what, if this is the same, is it the same.

C

Container registry, this one.

B

Yeah, let's use it, let's see.

A

The unique name of your service identifier,.

C

Okay, let's just call it from that add new instance. um No, no, no.

B

We want only one instance: okay, I think now you can click create.

C

Because echo should yeah.

A

Yeah but I want to use my own ci cd service.

A

Okay, so amazon has code pipeline, which is the icd product? Okay, um interesting, and what does it? Do? Click click service instances. ah There is the pipeline and I see nothing.

C

How can I reach that.

B

Okay, no, probably um when the source is created, we are finished.

A

B

Main outcome: okay,.

A

ah There you see it integrate with gitlab.

A

uh This would be interesting. I should tell brandon about this.

A

um Okay, so actually the the preview only allows it allows us to use what's already there um and integration with different uh providers is not yet supported.

A

Let's just see if the, if the docker file which we created before is working to be honest, I have no idea. How can I inspect this pipeline in progress update in progress? What does this mean.

C

D

C

A

Yeah that I want to see some block output, like I'm used from from cicd pipelines. I want to see something um I'm getting nervous when, when I just see this like cringy, when.

A

B

Did you refreshed again.

A

Yeah, I'm refreshing often the problem is that I'm that there are a few changes, then you need to click.

B

C

B

C

B

Maybe there's something behind.

C

B

Honestly, um identifying aws, so each service is identical identifiable, so it means it's something like aws the service name, um so the region, then your account number and then.

C

This is the unique naming schema, so the ui okay.

C

Let's start this: let's subscribe.

A

B

And and same thing to us that you can also click and subscribe.

A

Oh, we have a service instance which is in progress, and it's still in progress.

A

uh Let's just see: okay integrated, fast hashicorp, terraform, also interesting. um I'm just sharing this in the chat.

C

Like the account environment.

A

Cloud watch for monitoring, okay,.

C

A

A

That just makes sense.

B

B

Refresh refresh, then don't wait. It triggers me internally.

A

Create started uh okay and the problem is um no there's no way I can inspect the skill line now is.

C

There something that the action button, the right top, maybe something behind it-.

A

I can download the spec if you want update.

A

Oh it's a nice mf5.

C

Interesting thing is: does it really support this image stuff? Maybe.

A

So maybe it's it says uh to provide a url, so probably it will be using dockerpool in the backend, hopefully or podman pull, or something like that. I don't know.

A

But it's interesting to actually learn how to the spec is actually a yammer file, so you can download it and then kind of automate it for your deployments.

A

So you will never write this on your own. You will always use something around it.

A

Okay from my thousand uh tops, maybe going back into the.

B

This was the case this mostly.

A

B

Look on our source request.

A

If the case is resolved,.

B

D

A

D

B

It's that it's an easy readeth. You try the mobile mode, mostly.

A

Yeah, the problem is the screen guards in the in the proton thing was so so small. I couldn't read it. um Okay,.

A

So the proton thing is provisioning. This is something I can move on. The left side um left means it works. Right means to do um so. You know when my when my eyes are floating around I'm either reading slack on the right hand, side or working on to-do's.

A

A

I just want to kind of try this and ah yeah. Actually we tried that on the cli, let's just clear this and.

C

Go ahead and say I want to do.

A

C

B

I'll, probably.

A

It's the same same error as as brief before.

B

So then, I probably, I think we um requested the wrong resource.

A

Yeah or maybe it just takes a while.

B

Yeah, it takes also after we resolve in 30 minutes or something like that.

A

What's using, maybe um this was the cli one I could use.

A

Too much in the menu: um where is the console? This is the console. I want to start easy to.

C

And let's set us east.

A

I want to launch an instance.

A

And then I want to say this one.

A

Review and launch.

D

A

Okay, probably this is the wrong region, then, at usd east.

B

But we tried to use it for use, is so.

A

Yeah, maybe I'm just like too tired today,.

A

B

Second one now I have a second checkbox, mostly if you have already in key yeah.

A

What are they checking? The second vote.

B

Yeah, okay, the second drop down drop down combo box.

B

No, it's a it's, not a chromebook box, because in a combo box.

A

I changed, I changed the region, um this could be the problem, so I created a key pair, but this is obviously assigned to to a region um which is.

C

A

A

Learning learning things every five minutes.

B

Oh, you should see me to break and revisit it yeah. It's really.

C

Yeah, it was a lot, maybe for us to fill out.

A

Yeah, it was a little bit too much.

A

I still need to figure out or understand how the the proton thing, oh by the way.

A

We have a pipeline, we want to see.

C

A great started.

A

A

We understand now now we're on usd2, um but we are trying to review and launch something in yeah.

C

And let me just create something without a key pair.

A

B

Then you can't connect to the.

B

A

This is us east. I would love if they, if.

B

A

Virginia um this is also like um it should be written there. I don't care, which name. This typically is um okay. Download keep here.

B

But this is not situ because aws recreated for you but um private key, mostly.

B

It's it's just a demo.

B

A

I will clean everything after the stream is stopping.

A

B

A

Yeah, okay, then, um let's try this another time.

C

The update in progress is ready.

A

D

A

This is also something I want to try out. Maybe I do this. No, I don't have time tomorrow, um but.

C

This is also something I wanted to try out with auto scaling.

A

um But I'm wondering how proton plays into.

C

B

D

B

On our servers from where you can run, containers.

A

ah Yeah but it still.

A

Okay, this is the uh this show they have been announced in. uh Where is the announcement blog post for.

C

This is microservices deployment service, okay,.

A

B

A

Okay, it's it's an interesting concept, um I'm thinking of what we learned about captain um two weeks ago, um how this can work as a control, pane and and integrated observability, and then checking slos and things like that.

B

A

Yeah, probably um classically black box monitoring. um No, I think I think it will be interesting, but from from what I get now, it's.

B

D

We need to revisit it in.

B

A month or two month, mostly and turning it again, probably then we have also the awesome little integration and then we can test it with github.

A

The end, I think, the problem, the the problem right now is: there is no source code. We can look at on the aws infrastructure side, at least I don't know I I wouldn't guess this is open source now, so we just need to wait until the service is there and then we can use it um right now. It's like it's a whole. It's it's nice that it looks like this, but it's a black box and I have no idea what happens there and I think it's to sum it up a little.

A

What we tried today, um it's it's a nice blog post and a nice introduction, but you need to learn new keywords. You need to kind of learn how to create an environment.

A

Use templates understand that the administrators or the maintainers for the infrastructure manage the templates and the developers can consume the templates, then, to create the services, which is a really nice concept um and once everything works, um you should probably be just be hooking your um git repository or gitlab repository into it and later on at your cicd pipeline, and it should be, it should make your life easier with microservices.

A

Either with fargate or with severless lambda.

A

Anything else you want to share.

B

Right now, no, I didn't have time to look more into aws new features mostly, and it's crazy.

A

It's it's a preview, um but in the end I think it was nice that we kind of saw something. I don't know how long this pipeline will take.

A

To be honest, I have no idea what it does, um but maybe it will provision something um it takes forever to permission. It looks like it's either. It's hanging it's hanging in an era or is I don't know?

A

Maybe it cannot reach the container url or maybe it cannot do something? Probably probably something is broken now or something is like not doing what it's supposed to be doing um yeah. Well, I will let you know tomorrow if something changed on the on the deployment, because I will I I want to just like stop, I'm stopping the screen here now and we will just say: let's try it again next year, maybe in january some sometime and test drive the gitlab integration then, which should be, should be there um yeah.

A

It sounds like a plan next week. I don't know next week next week.

B

We wanted to look into the forest, mostly.

A

Either cicd pipeline in advance with extends and other things or we try. You know cicd, metrics and tracing, but I'm not still not sure about it.

A

Captain is also not nothing happened. We could try deployments in different things. um Maybe trying aks.

B

If we have um notes a bit, I could show you something a little bit about blockchains and deploying blockchains in containers or something like that.

A

Blockchains in containers dirt- these are two things I don't understand.

B

With more buzzwords yeah.

A

Yep I'm open for for everything, um but I also want if philip joins next week. I also won't want to give him the the possibility to at least drive half an hour into um cicd configuration best practice.

B

Yeah, I'm really also looking forward to that. So it's.

A

B

A topic that comes to my mind.

A

Let's, let's just pick um yeah, let's just see how things go because next week maybe someone else announced something new cool and we say hey. We want to try it out, or maybe maybe say hey. We can do better than this um now it's I think we are we're still learning and um yeah thanks for the nice session today and bye, bye on youtube.
