I’ve got some problems with Minikube and Virtualbox, everytime I close my laptop it stops working and I need to restart, delete, start, reboot, etc. it’s not very stable for this use case. I’ve installed the HyperKit driver and configured Minikube to use this instead the default Virtualbox.

Steps

First, install the HyperKit driver (https://github.com/moby/hyperkit)

brew install hyperkit

For more information about Homebrew please visit https://brew.sh/

If you don’t have Minikube installed yet

brew cask install minikube

Configure Minikube to use the HyperKit driver by default

minikube config set vm-driver hyperkit

If you don’t want to configure this as the default driver you can run Minikube setting the drive like this

minikube start --vm-driver=hyperkit

If you were running Virtualbox before like me wipe out your ~/.minikube and cluster configuration

minikube delete
rm -rf ~/.minikube

AWS KMS Key Replication

When architecting cloud-based solutions, one key principle I follow is to isolate resources within their respective regions and avoid sharing or replicating them across regions. This approach consistently provides a more secure and compliant framework for business continuity. Recently, AWS has introduced replication capabilities for various resources. In this post, I will delve into AWS Key Management Service (KMS) and assess whether adopting replication for KMS keys offers tangible benefits.

AWS VPN Client

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a VPN Client that is particularly advantageous for organizations seeking scalable and secure connectivity solutions compared to traditional VPN services like NordVPN. This distinction is largely due to the inherent flexibility and elasticity of cloud-based services provided by AWS, tailored to meet the dynamic requirements of modern businesses.

Analysis of Github Actions

The examination of GitHub Actions involves a comprehensive evaluation of its functionalities, features, and overall effectiveness. GitHub Actions is a powerful tool for automating workflows within the GitHub platform, enabling seamless integration and continuous delivery processes. It facilitates the automation of tasks such as code compilation, testing, and deployment, contributing to an efficient and streamlined development pipeline.
