If you’re on AWS, your nodes are probably created via an Auto-scaling group. To change your instance size, you’ll need to: Copy the launch configuration that Kubernetes is probably running. Change the instance size of the launch configuration Update the Kubernetes Auto Scaling Group to use the new launch configuration ? https://dchua.com/posts/2016-07-21-setting-up-amazon-vpc-to-vpc-peer-connection/ Thu, 21 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://dchua.com/posts/2016-07-21-setting-up-amazon-vpc-to-vpc-peer-connection/ Need to communicate between 2 Amazon VPCs securely and privately?

You may be thinking, why not just add the authentication into the build step before the push. Tried that but for some reason, I’m never able to get it to eval correctly. https://dchua.com/posts/2016-01-21-proper-jekyll-deployment-workflow-to-s3-static-hosting/ Thu, 21 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0000 https://dchua.com/posts/2016-01-21-proper-jekyll-deployment-workflow-to-s3-static-hosting/ Supercharge your Jekyll site with these 4 tips.

This little guide is supposed to help you get quickly started uploading your images into S3 via Paperclip and the new gem. https://dchua.com/posts/2012-02-28-ubuntu-oneiric-64bit-rvmruby1-9xpassengernginx-ec2-ami/ Tue, 28 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000 https://dchua.com/posts/2012-02-28-ubuntu-oneiric-64bit-rvmruby1-9xpassengernginx-ec2-ami/ Create a new 64bit Ubuntu Oneiric AMI image this morning Click away It runs: RVM Ruby 1.8.7 Ruby 1.9.3-head (default) Nginx (/opt/nginx) Passenger Its comes with an 8GB Elastic Block Storage (EBS) instance.
