    Observability Cost-Savings and eBPF Goodness with Groundcover

    Bret is joined by Shahar Azulay, Groundcover CEO and Co-Founder, to discuss their new approach to fully observe K8s and its workloads with a "hybrid observability architecture."Groundcover is a new, cloud-native, eBPF-based platform that designed a new model for how observability solutions are architected and priced. It is a product that can drastically reduce your monitoring, logging, and tracing costs and complexity, it stores all its data in your clusters and only needs one agent per host for full observability and APM. We dig into the deployment, architecture, and how it all works under the hood. Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show from June 27, 2024 on YouTube (Stream 272).

    Flow State with VS Code AI

    Bret and Nirmal are joined by Continue.dev co-founder, Nate Sesti, to walk through an open source replacement for GitHub Copilot.Continue lets you use a set of open source and closed source LLMs in JetBrains and VSCode IDEs for adding AI to your coding workflow without leaving the editor. You've probably heard about GitHub Copilot and other AI code assistants. The Continue team has created a completely open source solution as an alternative, or maybe a superset of these existing tools, because along with it being open source, it's also very configurable and allows you to choose multiple models to help you with code completion and chatbots in VSCode, JetBrains, and more are coming soon. So this show builds on our recent Ollama show. Continue uses Ollama in the background to run a local LLM for you, if that's what you want to Continue to do for you, rather than internet LLM models. Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show from May 16, 2024 on YouTube (Ep. 266).

    AWS Graviton: The Great Arm Migration

    Bret and Nirmal are joined by Michael Fischer of AWS to discuss why we should use Graviton, their arm64 compute with AWS-designed CPUs.Graviton is AWS' term for their custom ARM-based EC2 instances. We now have all major clouds offering an ARM-based option for their server instances, but AWS was first, way back in 2018. Fast forward 6 years and AWS is releasing their 4th generation Graviton instances, and they deliver all the CPU, networking, memory and storage performance that you'd expect from their x86 instances and beyond. I'm a big fan of ARM-based servers and the price points that AWS gives us. They have been my default EC2 instance type for years now, and I recommend it for all projects I'm working on with companies. We get into the history of Graviton, how easy it is to build and deploy containers and Kubernetes clusters that have Graviton and even two different platform types in the same cluster. We also cover how to build multi-platform images using Docker BuildKit. Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show from May 9, 2024 on YouTube (Ep. 265).
