• Moving Crossplane from being hosted on the current cluster to a seed cluster on a cloud like AWS or GCP
[0.36 --> 5.90] You are listening to ShipIt, a podcast about operations, infrastructure, and Christmas
[5.90 --> 6.36] presents.
[6.82 --> 11.92] I'm your host, Gerhard Lazu, and today we have a special Christmas episode, which sums
[11.92 --> 15.18] up two months of very early mornings and a few late nights.
[15.78 --> 21.58] We have pull request 395, a CICD Lego set with Guillaume de Reville and Joel Longtime,
[22.46 --> 28.70] continuous CPU profiling with Frederic Brancic, which is PR396, as well as auto-restoring
[28.70 --> 33.04] Kubernetes clusters with Dan Mangum and Muvafak Onush, PR399.
[33.84 --> 38.62] While I initially intended us to have five Christmas presents in total, only three got
[38.62 --> 39.38] delivered in time.
[39.84 --> 44.16] We planned, worked hard, and eventually shipped the best version just in time for Christmas.
[44.88 --> 49.76] My hope is that the latest additions to our changeup.com GitHub repository will help you
[49.76 --> 52.36] just as much as they will help our 2022 setup.
[53.10 --> 54.24] Merry Shipmas, everyone.
[54.62 --> 58.46] Big thanks to our partners Fastly, LaunchDarkly, and Linode.
[58.70 --> 60.56] Thank you for the great band with Fastly.
[60.80 --> 62.78] You can learn more at Fastly.com.
[63.32 --> 67.44] Ship new features with confidence by getting your feature flags powered by LaunchDarkly.com.
[67.92 --> 70.92] And thank you, Linode, for keeping our Kubernetes fast and simple.
[71.38 --> 75.28] Run your setup as we do via linode.com forward slash changelog.
[75.28 --> 86.64] We are going to ship in three, two, one.
[86.64 --> 107.18] The first present this Christmas is a CI CD Lego set that changelog.com is already using for production.
[107.18 --> 114.16] The entire store, including code and screenshots, are available in our GitHub repository, cPullRequest395.
[114.68 --> 120.72] Our new pipeline gets coding to prod at least twice as fast as before, and you can see it running in GitHub Actions.
[121.40 --> 128.68] Since we recorded this, we made it over a minute quicker, which is a big deal when everything is take less than five minutes in total.
[128.68 --> 132.90] And there is one more pull request open, which will improve it even more.
[133.52 --> 136.26] Check the name of the person that opened PR401.
[137.08 --> 142.10] If you like the queue language and understand the potential of direct-to-cyclical graphs for pipelines,
[142.60 --> 145.84] this present will take your CI CD to a whole new level.
[145.84 --> 154.08] So in episode 23, we were talking to Sam and Solomon about this new universal deployment engine called Dagger.
[154.44 --> 155.42] That's how it was introduced.
[156.08 --> 163.02] And one of the things which I mentioned towards the end is that I would like to make it part of the changelog infrastructure.
[163.56 --> 164.70] So, hi, Joel.
[164.88 --> 165.62] Hi, Kiong.
[166.32 --> 166.58] Hello.
[167.26 --> 167.80] How are you?
[167.84 --> 168.52] How are you doing today?
[168.78 --> 168.98] Good.
[169.16 --> 170.06] Excited to be here with you.
[170.52 --> 171.26] Yeah, same for me.
[171.26 --> 173.80] How was it for you to work on this?
[173.92 --> 178.94] Because we didn't have a lot of time, really, and we tried to squeeze it around all sorts of things.
[179.26 --> 181.82] What was it like the last month working on this?
[182.42 --> 183.12] Tell us about it.
[183.72 --> 185.96] For me, it was fun.
