Object attribute defaults on terraform - hello simplicity
Using terraform's object attributes defaults empowers you to create complex input values that still apply default values on a highly granular level. This post shows an example how to use this.
Configurable default values on terraform objects
Creating complex configurations requires many dimensions on the input - this post shows how to take care of default values in such a case to offer users of your code fine grained control without enforcing too much input if not required.
Terraform - applying complex default values
This post explores handling default values in Terraform. It shows merging default values with instance-specific values, using both native merge and the deepmerge module for recursive merging of nested objects. This approach ensures compact, maintainable code and seamless use of default values.
Ollama fails to utilize GPU after driver update (NVIDIA)
Ollama can't make use of NVIDIA GPUs when using latest drivers - fix is easy: Downgrade and wait for the next release. :-)
Kubernetes, blockDevices & denied permissions
Mounting (block)devices on containers might result in permission errors (Permission denied) if pods have applied a securityContext. It's possible to configure this on containerd and get both of best worlds - fast device access and reduced permissions on containers.
Enable SR-IOV on Broadcom NICs and configure VF count
Running broadcom network cards using SR-IOV might require configuration of the cards firmware. This also applies for example if you want to adjust the total number of virtual functions.
Multus - pod stuck in terminating state
