I originally posted this question as an issue on the GitHub project for the AWS Load Balancer Controller here: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/aws-load-balancer-controller/issues/2069.

I'm seeing some odd behavior that I can't trace or explain when trying to get the loadBalacnerDnsName from an ALB created by the controller. I'm using v2.2.0 of the AWS Load Balancer Controller in a CDK project. The ingress that I deploy triggers the provisioning of an ALB, and that ALB can connect to my K8s workloads running in EKS.

Here's my problem: I'm trying to automate the creation of a Route53 A Record that points to the loadBalancerDnsName of the load balancer, but the loadBalancerDnsName that I get in my CDK script is not the same as the loadBalancerDnsName that shows up in the AWS console once my stack has finished deploying. The value in the console is correct and I can get a response from that URL. My CDK script outputs the value of the DnsName as a CfnOutput value, but that URL does not point to anything.

In CDK, I have tried to use KubernetesObjectValue to get the DNS name from the load balancer. This isn't working (see this related issue: https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/14933), so I'm trying to lookup the Load Balancer with CDK's .fromLookup and using a tag that I added through my ingress annotation:

Story: in my java code i have a few ScheduledFuture's that i need to run everyday on specific time (15:00 for example), the only available thing that i have is database, my current application and openshift with multiple pods. I can't move this code out of my application and must run it from there.

Problem: ScheduledFuture works on every pod, but i need to run it only once a day. I have a few ideas, but i don't know how to implement them.

Idea #1: Set environment variable to specific pod, then i will be able to check if this variable exists (and its value), read it and run schedule task if required. I know that i have a risk of hovered pods, but that's better not to run scheduled task at all than to run it multiple times.

Idea #2: Determine a leader pod somehow, this seems to be a bad idea in my case since it always have "split-brain" problem.

Idea #3 (a bit offtopic): Create my own synchronization algorithm thru database. To be fair, it's the simplest way to me since i'm a programmer and not SRE. I understand that this is not the best one tho.

Idea #4 (a bit offtopic): Just use quartz schedule library. I personally don't really like that and would prefer one of the first two ideas (if i will able to implement them), but at the moment it seems like my only valid choice.

UPD. May be you have some other suggestions or a warning that i shouldn't ever do that?

i use parrot security as my daily distro. its mate terminal is transparent so is vim .but i wanted to get auto complete and used some plugins.auto complete window appears to be in pink which looks really ugly in semi transparent black background.i changed the theme and it was fixed but so was gone vim transparency .

in short word (1)i have to keep the default (2)i have to keep transparent vim (3)i have to change the auto complete window from pink to semi transparent black

here is my init.vimrc

I am using listagg to group users having same permissions, based on the query from the below stack question, tweaked it a bit for my needs. How do I view grants on Redshift

This fails saying listagg is compute node function and should be used on user created table. Any way to use listagg on catalog tables and has_*_privilege function both of which runs on leader node?

I am preparing for the CCDAK certification and I stepped into this question:

"A topic has three replicas and you set min.insync.replicas to 2. If two out of three replicas are not available, what happens when a consume request is sent to broker?"

The given answer is:

Data will be returned by the remaining in-sync replica

I had a doubt over a corner case: what happens when both the leader and the in-sync replica go down at the same time (third replica still not in-sync) and the consumer wants to read a message not present in the third replica (it may has not been copied yet since it is a not in-sync replica)?

Would a practical example be something like this: let's say consumer has committed offset 10 and wants to read from 11 but third replica has messages up to offset 9. Leader and follower are down, what would happen? Will the consumer just wait for the other brokers or will Kafka throw an error I have to deal with?

I wanted to hide menus conditionally based on userAccess. My problem is if has many roles. How will I be able to do it?

Pls check my code below

MENU

we have 3 Kafka machines with version - 0.1

we seen that some of the topics as - bio_test_covid9_verification are not balanced and ISR are not sync as the following

we have a computing project and in the final stages I have to make a ordered leader board (top5). however this is more confusing than i thought. I've got this far so far but it isn't ordered nor the top 5.

I have 3 consul servers in cluster. They were recovered from outage. Now they are running. Everything works. I checked with API who is leader, and I found it out. But weird thing - I don't see LEADER badge in UI. Morover I see "No service checks" on each server. I tried to restart each server, but it didn't help. How to fix it?
