I recently implemented some stuff that set up KMS keys for each application being deployed to a k8s cluster, for use with SOPS. Turns out, aliases are not as trivial to use in policies as you might expect!

I recently had a quick look at how to get Golang Lambdas running on ARM - specifically AWS' Graviton2 processors.

I’ve recently been playing with building some containers for use in CodeBuild. Here’s what I learned.

I decided to update the blog, only to discover that Jekyll is now quite old, the framework around it that I used is not maintained, and generally could do with a change.

Recently I’ve been building an Apache NiFi cluster in the cloud. I was looking into how I can configure NiFi to automatically add new nodes to it’s cluster, based on using the Node Group property that’s available within NiFi’s authorizers.xml configuration file.

I’ve had to travel for work over the last few months. Most recently I took a look at the UK Government’s Passenger Locator Form - specifically the QR code it produces.

I’ve recently had a dig into automating some NiFi flow testing using Docker and Python. It seemed simple at first, but rapidly became quite complicated. I thought I’d write up some notes, which I hope to improve on when I have more time.

This tutorial walks through creating a self-contained PEX binary from a set of python scripts.

Recently I started learning a new keyboard layout: I’m a fast enough typist on QWERTY (at least for my needs: somewhere around 80 WPM average, 110 max), but I have some terrible habits!

Hello internet, my old friend…
