Happy Goat for Life! Chris Phillips' Blog - API, Integration and Governance SME and Enthusiast

A New Home

In January I finally broke 1500 views a month of my blog. Though this does not sound like a lot, it was my target for 2019.

However I was getting more annoyed with Medium. Medium is an amazing platform for articles and discovering content. However I wanted to have more control and to be able to play with more tools. With medium you are locked into their eco system. If you just want to produce content it is fine, but I wanted to play more.


API CONNECT

Quick Note --- Egress Whitelisting in Kubernetes

I got bored flying back from Germany last week and so I tried to solve a problem our test team were hitting. They needed to whitelist access to the internet for all the pods of one application

API Connect 2018 ---  Removing a user from a UserRegistry

In API Connect you can create your own user registries, these can be backed on to LDAP or be a local user registry.

There are two ways to delete users from a user registry. Both of these require that the user is no longer a member to any provider orgs. There is no way to remove a user from a user registry in the UI today.

ICP 3.1.1 is locked down.

I used the following PSP to remove all the locked down settings. Please only use this for POC and POTs, and be aware you are weakening your environment.


KUBERNETES

Roadsweeper - Kubernetes Job Cleaner

Holiday Project Part 3

During my two weeks off of work I set myself the challenge to move as much of my home network infrastructure to Kubernetes as possible. My wife has often questioned “Why do you need any network Infrastructure, other then a wifi point?”. This article is still not going to address that question.

OpenLDAP with Samba

So like all good techies I have spent my week off setting up my home LDAP because I need to ensure my kids (8 and 6) need to learn about enterprise computing.
