SES error "Request Expired ,it must be within 300secs/of server time."

This error occurs if difference in time on your server and Amazon SES


1. First Check your linux server time by

> date

2. Check Amazon SES time by
> wget https://email.us-east-1.amazonaws.com --no-check-certificate --server-response

if this time difference is more than 300 seconds, then you get this error on sending email from Amazon SES, to solve this use ntpdate on your linux server


3. sudo ntpdate 0.amazon.pool.ntp.org 1.amazon.pool.ntp.org 2.amazon.pool.ntp.org 3.amazon.pool.ntp.org

Again check the time difference by using above 2 commands.

If time difference is < 300 seconds .

Some time you will get an error when using the command ntpdate like below:

the NTP socket is in use, exiting

At this time you can use the -u option in ntpdate command inorder to run the ntpdate command on different port.

sudo ntpdate -u 0.amazon.pool.ntp.org 1.amazon.pool.ntp.org 2.amazon.pool.ntp.org 3.amazon.pool.ntp.org

Thats it. :-)

Some time when we try to reset the password of our user in linux it will show as simple and systematic as below: BAD PASSWORD: it is too simplistic/systematic no matter how hard password you give it will show the same. Solution: ######### Check if your password is Ok with the below command, jino@ndz~$ echo 'D7y8HK#56r89lj&8*&^%&^%#56rlKJ!789l' | cracklib-check D7y8HK#56r89lj&8*&^%&^%#56rlKJ!789l: it is too simplistic/systematic Now Create a password with the below command : jino@ndz~$ echo $(tr -dc '[:graph:]' 7\xi%!W[y*S}g-H7W~gbEB4cv,9:E:K; You can see that this password will be ok with the cracklib-check. jino@ndz~$ echo '7\xi%!W[y*S}g-H7W~gbEB4cv,9:E:K;' | cracklib-check                 7\xi%!W[y*S}g-H7W~gbEB4cv,9:E:K;: OK Thats all, Thanks.

K8s External Secrets integration between AWS EKS and Secrets Manager(SM) using IAM Role.

What is K8s External Secrets and how it will make your life easier? Before saying about External Secrets we will say about k8s secrets and how it will work. In k8s secrets we will create key value pairs of the secrets and set this as either pod env variables or mount them as volumes to pods. For more details about k8s secrets you can check my blog http://jinojoseph.blogspot.com/2020/08/k8s-secrets-explained.html   So in this case if developers wants to change the ENV variables , then we have to edit the k8s manifest yaml file, then we have to apply the new files to the deployment. This is a tiresome process and also chances of applying to the wrong context is high if you have multiple k8s clusters for dev / stage and Prod deployments. So in-order to make this easy , we can add all the secrets that is needed in the deployment, in the AWS Secret Manager and with the help of External secrets we can fetch and create those secrets in the k8s cluster. So what is K8s external Secret? It is an

Setting /etc/hosts entries during the initial deployment of an Application using k8s yaml file

Some times we have to enter specific hosts file entries to the container running inside the POD of a kubernetes deployment during the initial deployment stage itself. If these entries are not in place, the application env variables mentioned in the yaml file , as hostnames , will not resolve to the IP address and the application will not start properly. So to make sure the /etc/hosts file entries are already there after the spin up of the POD you can add the below entries in your yaml file. cat > api-deployment.yaml apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: spec:   template:     metadata:     spec:       volumes:       containers:       - image: registryserver.jinojoseph.com:5000/jinojosephimage:v1.13         lifecycle:           postStart:             exec:               command: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "echo 10.0.1.10 namenode.jinojoseph.com >> /etc/hosts && echo 10.0.1.8 dn1.jinojoseph.com >> /etc/hosts &&
