SSH is an encrypted protocol used to connect between two systems. It’s widely used to gain access to remote server and run shell commands. It is also a common thing we use with VCS like github, gitlab etc. SSH Key Generation Creating ssh key is pretty simple, the CLI generates a public and private key pair. The public key is shared with the server and the private key is kept secret. ...
When we have a large project with a kubernetes cluster, it’s sometimes difficult to debug and test certain parts of the application. Mirrord allows us to bind a local port to a remote server. flowchart TB request --> mirrord subgraph Pod mirrord -.-x|intercepted| live_server:3000 end mirrord -->|db connection| db[(Database db:5000)] mirrord -->|forwarded| local_machiene(local:3000) local_machiene -.-|connects db:5000 via mirrord| db You can run a local server for example on port 3000 and bind it to a remote server. And any request coming to live_server:3000 will be intercepted by mirrord and forwarded to your local machine. We can debug the incoming request, connect to other services etc… Like our local machiene is a part of the kubernetes cluster. ...
There are different ways to manage configuration of a server. A common pattern is to use a combination of multiple sources, such as env variables, config files, cli args etc… and overlapping values are resolved based priority of the source. eg: configuring a server with a port number. cli args ( --port=8080 ) env variable ( port=8080 ) config file ( port: 8080 ) default value ( 8080 ) The configuration management system should look up the values and apply the value at the highest priority source. ...
