ansible-libvirt-microos VS containers-roadmap

I've been using a 3 nuc (actually Ryzen devices) k3s on SuSE MicroOS https://microos.opensuse.org/ for my homelab for a while, and I really like it. They made some really nice decisions on which parts of k8s to trim down and which Networking / LB / Ingress to use.

The option to use sqlite in place of etcd on an even lighter single node setup makes it super interesting for even lighter weight homelab container environment setups.

I even use it with Longhorn https://longhorn.io/ for shared block storage on the mini cluster.

If anyone uses it with MicroOS, just make sure you switch to kured https://kured.dev/ for the transactional-updates reboot method.

I'd love to compare it against Talos https://www.talos.dev/ but their lack of support for a persistent storage partition (only separate storage device) really hurts most small home / office usage I'd want to try.

What are the advantages of your project over conceptually similar projects that already exist, like MicroOS (https://microos.opensuse.org/) ?

I would suggest you to check either Leap Micro or MicroOS out.

I use MicroOS (https://microos.opensuse.org/), to keep the base operating system clean you'd install helper tools for constructing containers in a container... so two levels of containers would be very helpful

Where OpenSuse is interesting, definitely, it's with the MicroOS concept of Immutable Installs + their strategy of btrfs snapshots - this looks absolutely great from a stability standpoint ; there are other possible strategies out there, but these people are building a truly unbreakable distro and that's fantastic.

I'm currently running/testing openSUSE's new MicroOS which is really nice but still needs some work

Hi! I just wanted to drop by ansible-libvirt-microos ; since I'm using MicroOS already on a personal server, I decided to make better usage of it, by converting it into a VM host, and setting up another VM inside so that I can deploy more vms with extra steps containers via k3s.

Thanks for showing up and answering questions. Congratulations on the release.

What kind of plans for support of Rust's evolving async ecosystem?

Any particular reason why the public roadmap does not show the columns similar to "Researching", "We're Working On It" like the other similar public AWS Roadmaps? See example for Containers: https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/projects/1

Would be nice to have fully working examples on Github, for most common scenarios across most AWS services. This is something that historically

Second, We will only rely on one managed node group, but we will leverage Karpenter; however, karpenter needs to be deployed on a node. (This may change soon once the Karpenter is available on the EKS Control Plane.) [EKS] Karpenter inside control plane · Issue #1792 · aws/containers-roadmap

As written in the AWS documentation, during periods of extremely high demand, Fargate Spot capacity might be unavailable. In concrete terms, if your ECS service is set up to execute tasks in 100% Spot, there is a risk of running out of capacity. A workaround has been created in the hope that one day this issue will be implemented by the AWS team. This workaround allows you to set up two ECS services :

Deploying Fargate with CDK has to have been the most pleasant developer experience I have ever had with any product so far.

If image caching becomes a reality with Fargate I can't imagine a need to ever use anything else

Eks Fargate doesn't support spot yet https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/622

Until podman could be used with AWS ECR/ECS it's pretty much moot in my case: https://github.com/aws/containers-roadmap/issues/626
