Deploy an L7 Envoy Proxy on Google Container Engine

One of the recurring problems with using microservices is managing communications. Your clients need to be able to speak to your services, and in most cases services need to speak amongst themselves. When things go wrong, the system as a whole needs to be resilient, so that it degrades gracefully instead of catastrophically, but it also needs to be observable so that you can figure out what's wrong.

A useful pattern is to enlist a proxy, like Envoy to help make your application more resilient and observable. Envoy can be a bit daunting to set up, so this tutorial will walk you throu

VFIO Setup Guide

I play games regularly, and the sad reality is that it forces me to use Windows on my desktop. There's a Linux installation on there, but rebooting into it is such a massive interruption that I usually just move over to my laptop for programming. Working on a laptop leads to all sorts of ergonomic issues, and it felt like a massive waste to not develop on the desktop hardware I invested so much in. So after extensively researching what the VFIO community has been doing, I've deleted my Windows installation and moved all my gaming into a virtual machine on a Linux host.

Normally VMs are too slow for gaming, but thanks to a feature called VFIO you can run games at near-native performance by passing graphics cards and USB controllers directly to a virtual machine. The only requirement is that your board supports IOMMU, which most modern systems have. In this guide I'll wal

	# 1. Replace <AndroidKeyName> with the filename of the keyfile generated (see url)
	# 2. Replace <ProjectName> with the project name in the generated file form cordova, see path/to/my/project/platforms/android/bin and look for an APK if you need help
	# 3. Replace <AndroidKeyNameAlias> from the alias used when generating the key (see url again!)
	# 4. Edit path/to/my/project/platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml and change "debuggable=false" (search for it!)
	# 5. Check path/to/my/project/Release/android for your sparkling new apk!
