A

Hi everyone and uh welcome to this week's episode of the contour community meeting um today is july. 14Th 2020 and uh we're gonna go through some status updates and some fun stuff. That's happening a little later this week. So let me share my screen, so you all can see, see that's the right window and boom all right, um steve chris you're up first.

B

All right, yeah- this is just kind of a follow-up to what I mentioned last week, but I've been working on adding an initial set of configurable timeouts that can be tweaked through the contour config file.

B

um So at this point the four of them that uh that are that we initially wanted to add are the pr's for all of them have been merged.

B

I probably have a couple of additional follow-up prs just to do some polishing on the documentation and add a few more test cases, um but apart from that, the code is in. So if anyone wants to test it, you know on the master image build go for it, I'm happy to get any feedback, and then we have some additional work. That's planned along these lines that I'll be probably start to take on later this week.

A

And this is landing in the next release. Right.

B

C

A

C

Awesome yeah, and this is opening up all those like configuration. Knobs we've been talking about so allowing folks to you know tweak more of the settings in contour. Where previously we didn't have, you know folks didn't have access to that directly. So um all these time outs, I think, of the first batch of configs that you can now. You know tweak to your environment into your applications.

B

Yeah, these are like idle timeouts and maximum connection durations. You know, regardless of whether the connection's idle or not a couple other things related to that.

A

Awesome- and this is um kind of part of what we, uh um what nick talked about as well in the the latest blog post uh kind of making things more configurable uh things like that, so yeah in the contours- landscape, blog post- that was posted uh last week here. So if you haven't read that I highly recommend reading this, I'm gonna talk to it talks about um what's happening in the future here. So this is a really good. Blog post takes a few minutes to read it's a lengthy one, but it's definitely worthwhile reading.

A

All right, thank you, steve um steve, sloco,.

C

uh Yeah, just another quick update of the ingress route um stuff, I know nick had a pr to remove a bunch of the other bits. um This is like kind of the final one that removes the actual apis from from contour and stuff. So if you still need access to ingress route on an older version of contour, then you'll have to look at a tag, release or look in the docs on the previous version docs that will all still be there, but going forward since we've finally removed ingress route.

C

This this pr here actually got rid of the last bits everywhere, so um that's it so, hopefully you're on you're on http, proxy now and off of ingress route. uh If not, let us know we'll help you out to go from a to b.

A

Sounds good yeah? um You also wanted to talk about a uh pr that came in here.

C

Yes, it's got this guy um this issue and actually effects came in yesterday, so I just wanted to call this out um from gorka here. So we um there was an issue in um a tcp proxy include.

C

So if you included it, um there was an old issue that that got fixed, which caused an issue in this version, and it doesn't make any sense, as even I said it so today, um in the in the current version, you couldn't um you had to include a service on an include right which doesn't make sense, because the idea of includes is to pass off your delegate off the the route to another tcp proxy.

C

So what we did here was I removed that restriction. It was put there originally because someone had some misconfigured yammel and it it caused contour to not throw an error, but then it gave an error when the route got hit through envoy, so that fix was to fix a different kind of thing which we've since done behind the scenes.

C

So so this again in the end, I think just fixes contour to work the way it's supposed to um from the way our docs explain it and the way that the http routes work uh but applies it to the tcp routes. So that's all it was just validation. Ymo in in the open api spec was the change really. So that's all. I just want to call it out and give a thanks thanks for the you know the contribution for this, because it's it's nice to have those come through.

B

Awesome, hey, jonas, I don't know if you saw it looks like michael and maybe another person or two are having trouble getting into the zoom instead of asking for a password.

A

uh There is no password for this one.

A

There is a password for the contour office hours that I sent out an invite to, but that is not until thursday.

A

um Yeah, so this meeting does not have a password, yet we are updating that um yeah speaking of contour office hours. This is something that we're kicking off this week, and so the contra office hours is something that steve sloka is gonna spearhead here, and it is happening every first and third thursday at 1, 2, 3 p.m, eastern 1 to 3 p.m. Eastern and, of course, if you're in pacific time, that's 12 to 12 a.m, to 12 p.m, and uh we do have a schedule here.

A

The point of the schedule is to make sure that if we don't have enough things to talk about during the office hours, we'll cover some of these things, we want to make sure that everyone can get their voice heard and make sure that we have a space for collaboration and kind of more broader conversations around contour how how it works, how to do certain things.

A

So if you want to talk to the maintainers here and have questions and maybe want to bring up something, an enhancement that might take a little longer than the regular community meeting, please join the contour office hours here, I'm going to kick this off. As I said on thursday here on july 16th, so yeah, please join us steve. Do you do you want to add something here.

C

um No, that's a great intro. um I think the the mingle, like you said, is to help. If you have questions you want to ask about how things work or just chat about you know anything contour or envoy, that's sort of the main goal. Again. The agenda is just to help fill the time in case uh there aren't any questions. You just want to talk about something that seemed interesting. Maybe you know so yeah, but hopefully it's interactive. Hopefully it's just not me talking the whole time, but it's everyone.

C

You know kind of hanging out so feel free to join in and we can also um you can post. um I don't know if there's a way to add things to this agenda, or I guess a good way to give feedback is to hey this. If you need to talk about, you know, update the schedule, because the schedule's not in stone either. This is just some ideas that came up with in an afternoon, so.

A

Yep awesome um is anyone else. um Does anyone else want to add something to the meeting today?

A

Any other discussion topics updates.

A

All right, then, we're gonna close it out today and uh yeah. Thank you all for for joining. Have a fantastic rest of the week. See you all on thursday, hopefully and see you all uh on the the next meeting have a good one. Everyone.

C

Bye, everyone see y'all, take care.
