Setting up S3cmd client to manage files in Digital Ocean.


First we need to generate the Token , KEY ID and Secret key from the Digital ocean console > API > Generate Token > Generate Key.

Installation In Centos
######################

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

wget http://s3tools.org/repo/RHEL_6/s3tools.repo

yum install s3cmd

Configuring the S3cmd
#####################

s3cmd --configure

This will ask for Key Id and Secret Key
Region use the default one.
No encripytion is necessary, just enter.
Say yes for ssl https
and finally press enter of HTTP Proxy

Now the confiurations will be saved in the ~/.s3cfg file.

Open it and add the below entries:

access_token =
host_base = <region>.digitaloceanspaces.com
host_bucket = %(bucket)s.<region>.digitaloceanspaces.com

now save the file and exit.

Putting a file to Digitial Ocean bucket.
########################################

s3cmd put /home/jino/filetest.txt s3://<bucket>

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 i...

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:...

LXC Containers and How it differs from VMs and Docker Containers?

VM vs LXC ########## The main difference between the VMs and Containers is that virtual machines require their own kernel instance to run while  containers  share the same kernel. In other words,  containers  are virtualization at operating-system-level whereas  VMs  are virtualization at the hardware level. In virtual Machines each Guest OS will have its own Operating System and kernel. But in the case of LXC Containers the Guest OS will share the same OS of its Host machine. LXC vs Docker ############# LXC is a container technology that gives us the lightweight Linux containers and Docker is single application virtualisation which is based on top of the containerd Run time engine.. Thus even though based on container utilisation they may sound similar but they are completely different when it comes to usage. Unlike the lightweight LXC containers, docker does not tend to behave lightweight VM’s. Single application restriction of the docker is strictly by t...
