ip2location-go VS Pulumi

IP2Location — Freemium IP geolocation service. LITE database is available for free download. Import the database in the server and perform a local query to determine the city, coordinates, and ISP information.

Azure published their IP geolocation geofeed to IP geolocation providers such as IP2Location. It should be highly accurate.

You can visit IP2Location and check if you are behind an ISP and its actual IP address. You should be fine if your IP address is clean for residential purpose.

If you visit https://www.ip2location.com, does it detect your ISP IP address as from data center?

If you know anyone who is currently onboard, ask them to visit https://www.ip2location.com and send you a screenshot of what it reported. That is the IP geolocation information you want to know.

The common approach is using IP geolocation to identify estimated country of origin.

Do you have clean IP address? You can visit https://www.ip2location.com and see the parameters of your IP address. Is it detected as VPN or with abuses history?

Yes, you can find example of IP geolocation in https://www.ip2location.com and use it to block Utah visitors or anyone behind VPN.

You can check the IP address on testing websites like IP2location, DB-IP, IPinfo, etc. It should be noted that occasionally these websites display different locations for the same IP address. Typically, this is due to the fact that the IP address itself is disputed, which causes various analyses by IP libraries. You will need to contact the proxy provider in this case to obtain a different, higher-quality proxy.

If you are following this blog series, you should already know the benefits of using Terraform to define and deploy your AWS resources and configuration. Other IaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Pulumi work the same way but differs in the programming or configuration language.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is an important part of any true hosting operation in the public cloud. Each of these platforms has their own IaC solution, e.g. AWS CloudFormation. But they also support popular open-source IaC tools like Pulumi or Terraform. A category of tools that also needs to be discussed is API gateways and other app-specific load balancers. There are applications for internal consumption, which can be called microservices if you have a lot of them. And often microservices use advanced networking options such as a service mesh instead of just the native private network offered by a VPC.

funny, to me systemd == no docker, no containers, just a VM.

it's my goto way to keep my programming running and have it be restarted if the vm reboots. I use VMs like "pods". I deploy code directly to the VM and run it there along with other programs. I scale up an scale down with: https://www.pulumi.com/

Pulumi — Modern infrastructure as a code platform that allows you to use familiar programming languages and tools to build, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure.

A move like this may have an impact in other open source projects. Take Pulumi, for instance, people might avoid choosing it now that the Linux Foundation have its own IaC tool, and for newer, smaller projects it will probably be impossible to compete with a project under the Linux name.

Another alternative to writing an operator would be to rely on kustomize or https://www.pulumi.com/.

Pulumi

Would it make sense to say Dagger is to Pulumi [1], as Terraform is to Togomak?

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Define your infrastructure using code (IaC) to automate the provisioning of resources such as virtual machines, load balancers, and databases. Tools like Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CloudFormation can help.
