Hello World... AGAIN

WHAPAM! We're so back baby. Hell yeah. Pump it up my boy.

It's been a month since I last work on the devopsblog. It feels good to be back. TLDR: I graduated the Telerik Academy DevOps course by using this DevOpsBlog as a graduation project... I think they liked it 😇 . Unfortunately, my AWS bill was about a thousand USD dollarrrrs. Sheesh... Turns out I accidentally used an extended support EKS version, which cost me 10 cents an hour. Crikey! I tried to open a support ticket but they told me "Кръв повръщам, пари не връщам". So naturally, I ditched the account and froze my debit card. Hehe xd. AWS is too rich anyway they shouldn't be mad....

Anyway, I created a new AWS account. Say hi to Valentino Dodo 🥸. Similar name, different phone number and card, but the same killer DevOps homelab 😎. I migrated everything there and BAM - we are so back!!!!

I have a new strategy for a low monthly bill. Every time I have a work session, I will deploy a new node group + NAT gateway (the two biggest money eaters). That is done easy via two scripts I created that deploy the resources when I start, and remove the resources when im done. I tried using terraform.... but it is too risky since all of the rest infra is there and I don't like touching it every day... Thats what she said ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

AAAAAnyway - until next time. Cya.
