Making this blog with Cloud Run
Until now In my first post on this blog explained how I created this blog. At the time, I was using:
Hugo as a static site generator, that is a tool that turns Markdown into a pretty static website. AWS S3 to host the website itself. Docker to run Hugo and generate the website from my Markdown files. Since then, I joined Google and using Amazon’s services to host my personal blog didn’t seem very “corporate” :-) So, I had updated my setup like this:
How to use Kubernetes to fix GKE
Note: Since writing this post, I joined Google. We have released a feature called IP Aliases that addresses the problem described in this article, and much more.
I recently ran into a problem while using Google Container Engine (GKE), the managed Kubernetes by Google. This lead me to an interesting solution that can be used for a large range of issues you could encounter in Kubernetes.

AWS re:Invent 2016 - A recap (part II)
This is the second and last part of my AWS re:Invent recap. Go check out the first part if you haven’t done so already.
In this second post, I will outline the products announced by Werner Wogels during his keynote. You will also find a small opinionated analysis of the impact of each product, based on the current market and ecosystem.
I tagged the really important ones with a [Game Changer] in the title.
AWS re:Invent 2016 - A recap (part I)
Two weeks ago, thanks to my company, Oxalide, I had the chance to attend AWS re:Invent, in Las Vegas. This is the first part of a recap of all the announcements (yes, there are so many things to talk about that it doesn’t fit in a single post). You will also find a small opinionated analysis of the impact of each product, based on the current market and ecosystem.
Gitlab on Kubernetes + AWS
Update March 2017: EFS now supports a single mount point for a volume, so the setup is now much easier because you don’t have to differentiate between AZs. Take that into account while following this blog post.
Introduction In the last post we saw how to create a production-ready Kubernetes (K8s) cluster on AWS with Kops. Now, let’s see how to use it in conjunction with AWS managed services to host a highly available application: Gitlab.
