Agenda
[edit]- Go over Brennen's POC -- not ready yet
- Discuss what/how to prepare for techConf
- raise awareness of our work - what discussions we have had
- get people to take our efforts seriously, take a look at our work
- present the problems we've been trying to solve
- went down path of production-like solution that might be too difficult to maintain for developers
- get feedback on our work, engage with others
- understand whether we should build one environment or multiple
- discuss with attendees how production-like should the env. be? are they looking for something easy to set up or more close to production?
- k3sup is really good: https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup
- It really does get k3s up and running in about 1 minute
- Provides a way to expose your kubernetes services to the public internet via a reverse-proxy runinng somewhere like digital ocean
- I think we could modify it to use tool forger as a remote proxy.
